Whenever a module says that there is a chance for a successful cycle in whatever it is doing, does anyone know if Eve uses True Random Distribution or Pseudo Random Distribution?

:effort:

That's why I'm asking in the forum where most people actually have the time and effort to do so. Cool

You might want to try asking in the industry forums whether invention chance is based on a true random distribution or pseudo random distribution. I'm sure some people at least have sufficient data to take a stab at answering that question.

Best guess is - whichever RNG system EVE uses it's going to be the same for modules as for other stuff.

(NB - it is very very highly unlikely to matter in any case)
