Random space artifacts not random

from Stardock Forums
This concerns the space "debris" that add to ship HP, Attack, and Defense when a survey ship investigates them.

In the game I just played every single one has been and adder to attack value. It seems that the "random" generation of these items is _way_ out of whack.

I can't believe that of 57 artifacts, yes I counted, :) they have all been adders to attack. Not a single adder for either HP or defense.

I commented on this once before, where in the entire game, in a gigantic galaxy, I only found 2 defense adders but the response was that the artifacts are randomly generated.

I doubt it.

Someone should take a look at the artifact generation code.

They are mostly random, it just has a tendency to generate more of one type or another in a particular game.

The one I'm playing now, I'm finding a number of all three ship anomolies. I've got the U.S.S Hero up to 130 HP and 64 Def without a engaging in a single battle. (It's up to 127 Att, I think. Attack anomolies seem to have a larger effect, despite what the dialog says.) I've found but two wormholes, OTOH.
