The logical part of my brain tells me it doesn't, but the part that says "You sat in space slaughtering Tier 1s for nearly three hours in your Decemator, REing everything you got ahold of and got no disks, then landed and plucked three disks (all disk 7, naturally) out almost as soon as you returned to your loot storage house. That has to mean something" kind of has a convincing argument.
Ancient smuggler trick: take that second part of your brain, and drown it in beer.
KSE disks are admittedly especially bad for spotting patterns in, because you'd probably need like 20-100,000 REs to have a significant sample size. That could take a while. But I swear, it's all random.
Yup, I agree, there's no other way to explain the fact that I got the exact 4 disks I needed in one single 4hour stretch of REing. That sounds counterintuitive, but yes, im saying I believe its random. There's no logical explanation for me getting the ones I needed, I just did. All at once, a couple within 10 REs of each other, almost in numerical order too. If I don't think of it as random, then I have to talk to my doctor about serious levels of medications.

Do does that mean that REing while wearing only my underwear, with a rubber chicken for a hat, and mumbling incantations to Cth'ulhu while I push the buttons isn't helping my chances any?

Man this thread just turned very weird.
But thanks for answering my original question!

If I were to put a crafting station inside my yt1300. Would it be possible to craft items in it?

Main disadvantage of space is you can't be in a manufacturing / research city.
Hmm... maybe we could get this mod added to the Y-8? Sucker would work great as a floating SW space dock, add player docking to sell / upgrade components in space.

I have a crafting station in mine, the only reason I normally craft on the ground is for the benefit of a research center to experimentation. If I ever finish the xp grind for force sensitive crafting I'll spend a lot more time crafting in space. Just wish I could put a vendor on my ship to store stuff =p

And complicating matters is that not only do false short-term patterns appear from random systems all the time, but any piece of code can't be truly random in the first place.. I guess they're pretty sophisticated these days, but layering those two factors on top of each other without taking a very large sample into account is probably going to result in some pretty convincing--yet totally false--sets of evidence.
Without delving into the near metaphysical theories of how the universe works at the quantum level, suffice it to say that it is conceivable that nothing is truly random. But considering the timeframes and sample size it would take to detect a meaningfulpattern,a "random" system is truly random as far as we humans are concerned. So, I would craft whenever, whereever and not worry about it as far as getting a disk is concerned.
