Way to know what kind of outcome I will get from a situation

ftl-faster-than-light

Say I decide to take a drone part, as an option in an event. The wiki tells me that there are 2 possible outcomes:

  • I will receive a drone part and scrap
  • I will lose a crew member but get some scrap

Is there any way to find out what outcome I will receive? If I, say, have upgraded engines, will one outcome be more common than the other?

Sadly, there's no in-game way of knowing what the odds of a particular outcome are.

Having particular ship parts can unlock additional choices in some events. (These choices are labeled in blue.) The chance of a regular (white text) choice having a positive outcome is always the same regardless of the circumstances.

For example, having upgraded engines can unlock a special (blue) choice in some events, but it will never affect the odds of the regular (white) choices.

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%; please correct me if I'm wrong in the comments) that the special choices will always have a positive result, so if they're available to you, be sure to select them.
