I have an idea for artifact production on planets. Instead of randomly getting them, why don't you buy them using the artifact points? I know everybody is going to say that then people would get all the good artifacts, but why not increase the number of points needed to buy them? There could also a receive a random artifact option. What do you guys think?

I think if this was implemented I would switch as much as possible to AP production get ridiculous amounts of Terraformers and whatnought and become more OP then chuck norris on a caffeine high.

Sorry but not.

The idea has merit, but just doesn't apply like Cothordin said, with terraformers and what not. IF it were restricted to being able to buy just combat related artifacts or maybe reeeally expensive chassis' but you would be creating a whole new dilemma of seperating what artifacts can be bought, which cannot, etc. I would support it because, the artifact list DOES in fact have groups where some can be shared, some cannot, some can be scrapped, some cannot, etc. So maybe tied into that? Add a 'BUY' button to any artifact that can be shared or sent?
