I got the 50% speed cut again, and it indeed did go away. I did not count the turns, but it does seem to have been 10 - 15 turns. I will have to check in the management screen next time to see.

I was just looking around in game and in the empire management screen under empire wide bonus factors it says "-80% scan range form positive event". Don't know if its just the default display for random events or if its a glitch.

I'm pretty sure it's been around longer than 15 turns. Maybe because it thinks its a positive event.

I've gotten several, and I think they do run out after a time. There is just not information on when, where, or what they actually do. I am sure that info will show up in the release.

It looks like they have positive and negative effects. I had one which increased planetary sensor range, but the scientist which developed the technology ran off and started a company called 'spinmaster' or something like that, and sold the technology to everybody else.. Another was something to do with a glitch in ship engines due to the rapid rate of engine development which effectively halved ship speed, not sure if it was permanent though.

There was a pretty funny one where I got a free colony ship. The explanation was something like "due to the unknowns of faster than light travel, a copy of one of your colony ships have appeared. Don't ask questions, the mathematics are so complex that it would drive you insane, like that scientist who tried and now only says 'the galaxy is stretchy and made of cheese'''.

Then I got a really annoying one where apparently religious fanatics detonated bombs on all my ships which reduced health 10% or so. This happened right before I was going to launch a big offensive

Onyx I have experienced the exact same, though haven't been able to do anything about it either.

I had an event that told me a 'medicine-resistant super-bug' was rampaging through my empire. I couldn't find any information on what happened, though. I assume some population was lost somewhere? Without details, it was hard to care too much about it.
