I've been playing MOO again lately, and the random events are, as usual, killing me. The attempted assassination one always seems to happen to me after I've spent the whole game cultivating one of the AIs (and usually right before a galactic council vote). The one that really annoys me, though, is the ancient derelict. I've played well over a hundred games, but I've never had this event happen to me. Although it's not in the (otherwise amazingly comprehensive) strategy guide, I've come to believe that this event can't happen to a human player. Has anyone else ever had a game where they found the derelict?

Aren't random events effected by how well you are doing in the game? Like, good things happen to players that are behind, and bad things happen to the one who is ahead.
Maybe you are always winning, so you don't get the really good events.
I myself always turn random events off. Some are ok, and even fun. However, there are some that really ruin the fun for me, so I turn it off.Good = Love, Love = Good
Evil = Hate, Hate = Evil

IIRC, the first race to visit an artifact system will always discover a tech buried in the sand.

I seem to remember getting the ancient derelict once or twice. I wasn't that great at playing, was generally behind the AI (on a very low level game), so that probably qualified me for getting a "helping hand" from the game events.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

Not the same thing as the ancient derelict. The derelict is a once per game event, which can yield up to ten techs instead of just one.
In that case, can't say I have ever seen it.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

The derelict? I can't remember of ever having found it.
