How about:
External Rigging (or some cooler name) Gives you increased decks for a short time. There could be 3 different rarities - common for +10 decks for 30 minutes, uncommon +25 decks for 20 minutes, rare +50 decks for 10 minutes.

Sometimes you just need to strap a BFG on the hood of your ship.

something tells me this would only be used to store ships equipment so more scanners can be loaded during scan blitz. why else would you only need it for 10 min ;)

I doubt Dan will agree to that artifact. You could, add 50 decks, use it up and when the time's up, you don't need to remove the modules. It would give unfair advantage.

Dan did mention Sillixx -> other race. Ship get overencumbered and cannot install new modules. But if nothing is install/uninstalled, the ship can stay that way for a long time.

I mean decks, not cargo. (But extra temporary cargo might be interesting too.) You're right though, scan blitz certainly comes to mind. But maybe you want to show that more powerful ship that he just disabled the wrong target. Or maybe you need a defense boost for the sieged planet your ship is guarding. You could be about to level, and get an energy boost from that Graviton Core that just won't quite fit. Or maybe you just really, really like hull....

Barracuda - that's a good point, for this idea to work that would need to be addressed. But I bet we could come up with a solution.

How about instead of adding decks, it adds 1 module of the highest you can fit/research? For examples:

"Cannon Rigging"- installs temporary weapon on your ship up to 20 size.
"Jammer Rigging"- installs temporary jammer on your ship up to 20 size.
...and so on with other module types. It could also include rarer "large rigging" for increased size. As a limiter, only modules that can be reasonably 'attached' to a ship hull can be rig artifacts. Jammers, sensors, cannons, and shields would work, but not platings, cloakers, reactors, and dampeners.
