The following section can be copied and added at the end of the file Randomized events.cfg in SH3C.

The values are intended to represent an LI of average competence at an early stage of the war, and are biased to include the NYGM negative bouyancy. The trim value will change at the start of each game session.

If anyone tries this, please let me know what you think of it.
