New Mega Event: Masses of Lucky Rangers?

from GalCiv2 Forums
In my recent game, i got 5(!!!) Precursor Ranger Ships within one game year....Also the Drath got one Ranger and the Krynn a corvett. In any other game i made i get these ships rather rare even with the luck ability. So i am curios if there is a secret mega event which causes the ships to spawn massively.
To bad that their weaponry was outdated when they showed up. I wonder why the precursor built such sucky ships.

The same thing happened to me: I got 7 lucky rangers. It cant be a megaevent because I played DL. This happend right after I upgraded to v1.5.

That is not only in DA, as Cruelsader indicated.
The Lucky Ranger event only spawns a single ship, but it can happen many times. I have gotten 5 or 6 in less than 12 turns before in DL.

If you can build huge hull ships when you get them, you can build a much deadlier ship and upgrade the Lucky Rangers. And when you do so, the new name remains 'Lucky' whatever.
It is really cool to end up with a fleet of Lucky Warbird's or Lucky KorxKrusher's.

Usually i sell all my lucky rangers because their weaponry is no threat to me.

I also build military ships to sell to the AI, specifically designed to be weak to me.

Mainly to drain AI funds, also if the AI tries to upgrade them, once again funds are drained.
