I don't know, 'abundant anomalies' just sounded like an oxymoron to me.
I guess i never thought about that before but its so true. Quite funny.
I have always played with abundant anomlies, no matter what my other settings have been. Anomilies will give you race bonuses and possibly cash. Of couse the AI races also get these too, so its up to you if you want tio change this setting. In DA, with a patch / update, anomolies will randomly appear after the starting ones are all taken. I don't know if the setting will change their rate of appearance but it at least gives you an incentive to have multiple surveyors. IN DL there is little reason to have a second survey ship and no reason at all to get the Galactic Guide Book.
