First of all, I'm not a new player. Have multiple playthroughs, including brutal runs. Haven't played for quite a while, decided to start a new 2070 campaign.

As soon as I built a few habs in LEO (I have 12 T1 habs/outposts), the game started to bombard me with these cute events.

As far as I remember you had like 1-2 malfunctions per couple of years, sometimes an asteroid or space junk strike event. Now, in 0.411 I am getting at least a couple of these malfunctions per game period. 

I know it is supposed to make gaming experience more difficult. Space is hard -- I fucking get it. But **at this rate it's just simply NOT FUN.** And it doesn't add anything to gameplay, besides inconvenience of having to rebuild them.

And yes, I know I can reduce the rate by **Improved Maintenance Procedures** tech. (And, btw, I know that because I played the game before so I'm familiar with the tech tree -- the game doesn't give you any hints about it, so to the newbie it might not be obvious at all how to solve this problem).

And this is where the fun is supposed to come from. Overcoming the hardships. But this tech is gated by some fairly significant RP cost and is not easily obtainable in the early game. And the best fucking part: **IT'S NOT EVEN A GUARANTEED UNLOCK**.

Therefore, the suggestion is: could you like... gate this tech slightly less? Or split it in several tiers?

I am getting at least 3-4 malfunctions PER MONTH? What the actual hell?
