precursors veriety broken? cybrex?

[mister_lobos]

has anyone got cybrex precursors lately?
i started new game 9 times this week (different empire, and settings sometimes even)... gruner / baol came up 7 times, issarian twice.
previous game i just finished was also grunur / baol.
before that i believe was also issarian... i vaguely remember getting yuht once recently..
i don't think i've seen cybrex in the last year.

so, just curious has anyone else seen cybrex lately?? or feel the precursor roll is off... i know zroni is suppose to be rare,
i did just realize i have generally been using SOL for the starting system.. in case i get a chance at the achievement "back with your x" not sure if that might make a difference... i thought it was more where you spawn in the galaxy, which has been all over the place.

It had been so long since I'd seen the Vultauum, I thought maybe they were introduced in a version I had disabled. Then suddenly I've gotten them on 11 out of 12 plays. Throw around enough random numbers and any sequence, no matter how improbable, will eventually occur. But it can also happen that the seed variable for a pseudorandom number generator is tied to a coarse or non-random number like a calendar date or that a reseed is not consistently triggered.

I got the Cybrex at least 3 times since the machine age came out, including in my last game.

As far as I can tell, each time you survey a planet while you don't have a precursor discovered yet (or the On the Shoulders of Giants origin unfinished), you get:

• 3,33% chance to get the Vultaum precursor
  
• 3,33% chance to get the Yuht precursor
  
• 3,33% chance to get the First League precursor
  
• 3,33% chance to get the Irassian precursor
  
• 3,33% chance to get the Cybrex precursor
  
• 8,33% chance to get the Baol precursor
  
• 19,44% chance to get the Zroni precursor

	random_events = {
		100 = 0
		# The following feature weight multipliers which allow On the Shoulders of Giants players to catch up. See '@origin_shoulders_multiplier'.
		6 = precursor.1		# Vultaum Assembly
		6 = precursor.500	# Yuht Empire
		6 = precursor.1000	# First League
		6 = precursor.1500	# Irassian Concordat
		6 = precursor.2000	# Cybrex
		35 = ancrel.1		# Zroni
		15 = ancrel.2000	# Grunur/Baol
	}

well... since that worked... (i got cybrex on the very next try after posting that)

has anyone won the lottery lately, i've been buying the occasional ticket for years and never won over $1 million... not even close.

[Tyrion]

I've gotten it several times, about 4 out of 12 games, or 33%. Other origins than Shoulders (which borks your chances, see above).

[Comrade Burrito]

Yup, got Cybrex last week.
