Just wondering if random events are going to be included

e.g. Your colony on X a Volcanic planet has been crippled becuase of a , you guessed it, volcano that popped up right next to it.

the always popular your mining colony found a superrich vein of crystal you get 2x income for the next X seconds.

Or Asteriod belt Y has been hit by a solarstorm and lost cohesion, as such there is not enough gravity to maintain the jump lines to it, (thus chaniging the strategic value of certain nearby planets.
Would also be kinda cool if late in the game with enough research we could have some limited control of the space lanes and perhaps make it possible to close down or open up new ones , similar to using phase gates except you wouldnt need to control both planets to set it up you just have to fly a "special" captial to the other end to deploy and create the lane (destroyable of course)
