What gave me this idea was the new race specific buildings Dan added to the list on the artifact market.

like in example, If your a Zolazin, you get a chance at Zolazin Shroud Covers, Void Towers and stealth Optomizers in your artifact recoveries.

It gives the players of those races the ability to resupply on those limited artifacts which by definition would be supplied by their governments, Ergo Artifact Pulls.

But thats the general idea. 1 ship buff per race, 1 planet buff per race and one planetary artifact per race.

this is a great idea

Could be good.

I quite agree with this. A few race-specific artifacts and buildings get added to the player's artifact draws based on who they are. Then, some new missions can be added that give the other races a chance at those rewards. (at a cost of mission energy)

This should apply to all races. Three extra artifacts for every single race.

If we're going to have them, then we also need to discuss what those Artifacts will be. So we've got the Zolazin Artifact list, but what about the other races? Many of their Artifacts wouldn't be suitable or would unbalance the game if they became commonly available. We would likely need to invent new ones.

here's some of the Ideas i was kicking around.

Zolazin
Planet Buff: "Shroud Cover" Surrounds a planet in a powerful shroud, increasing its cloak by 600 for 1 week.

For the Genetarr maybe something like this:
