still over a year until i can access this, but looking forward to it.
that said, it basically replaces QSEs in the artifact market. so, other than compensating those who lose the troop carrier after rank 2200, it does nothing new.
what i would have liked to see (or see in some new arti that isn't restricted to 8.year players) would be something which varies the size boost based on the starting
planet size.
VT: +3 to small
T: +3 to average
VS: +3 to large
S: +2 to large
A: +2 to very large
L: +1 to very large
VL: +1 to massive
then stopping short there so that M planet needs a QSE (or lucky morph) to get to VM.
