One of our best modders, Ryouchan on Steam, made an interesting mod. Random Encounters 2 was made to add even further randomness and unpredictability to the game. He also shared the file for download for GoG users. :)

Ryouchan's description:
"I'm mostly going for a you never know what's going to happen approach, but for example, you'll receive random transmissions, have intruders potentially board your ship, receive items or credits or a live bomb on your ship, and just general random things that can occur on sector changes. Most of it is just fluff to add some life to the system, like the random transmissions, but you get the occasional one that will impact you in some way. It also sort of gives your ship a crew, whose icons appear when an encounter happens letting you know what's going on."
