Going through the new events tables in Scouts and those presented in Psion, I'm seeing a lot of uninteresting Connections. Wasn't the entire point of Events to give characters a chance to connect? A lot of these events are completely solo events, completely unsuitable for Connections or simply boring...
"Life on the edge hones your abilities. Gain one skill. (Repeated at least twice on new Psion tables.)
"You gain an insight into one of your Psi-powers." (Psion)
"You are engaged on a long term project on a single world. This will take two terms and you must leave the Scouts afterwards." (Scouts)
"Administrative wrangling means you are transferred to another branch of the Scouts." (Scouts)
"As a result of your mission, gain one of the following..." (What Mission?)(Scouts)
"You gain valuable espionage expertise. Gain one of..." (Scouts)
"You serve under a captain who is overly strict. Gain one of..." (Scouts)
"You gain valuable survey expertise." (Scouts)
This doesn't even mention all the Events that are actually Mishaps. Since when do I pass my Survival roll and still get drummed out on several different possibilities?

Pattern? So what is up? Am I taking crazy pills here?
