How exactly does it work?

Do the new artifacts come in draws from the base artifact production? Or every legion members own planetary production?

Its a special area 'within' the base. Legion members can attempt (by spending research points) experiments. With luck, they will make a discovery, which unlocks it within in the CT-Lab.

A discovery allows certain artifacts to be converted into different artifacts. The conversion formula will be mentioned in the list.

1st Suggestion: Any artifact that takes mass storage pods and tesseract containers and makes them into more "space" on the legion base.

says the man with shiploads of spares lol
to be fair...good idea if it means they get put to a use instead of getting sold off

man imagine converting a sucky artifact into like a terraformer or quasi spacial expander
i would pay half a million rp for that

Since it's a recipe, and becomes perm. when you find it, I don't think either of those will be possible. However, my previous idea of a repeatable mission to combine cloaking items (void shell+dark pyramid = passive cloak item) now has an other possible outlet. Or grid console+somethings = passive def, I don't have access to the bosses for passive cloak anymore, and some other people are getting there. I see the CT-Lab revitalizing a lot of artifacts that are not often used.

i realize that never would either of those artifacts be up on the CT-Lab, it was just kind of a fantasy in my head that i typed.
