What "Artifacts" will be discoverable in this mod and what artifacts would people like to see?
Personally i would love to see something like "porthean Archives" or "prothean data disk" which could greatly reduce research cost/ increase research speed (or something like that).

Cassy Hudson could be a possibility, whoever discovers him will increase the chance of of a revolt taking place on the enemy's territory.

^lOl. I can think of a few artifacts: - Inusannon Mass Effect Drive : increased ship speeds
- Zha'til Supercomputer : increased resource income
- Reaper based AI (EDI) : Increases fire rate of all dreadnoughts (capital ships) and titans.
- Chascan Atmospheric Nanites : decreases damage received from planetary bombardment
- Ancient Gigula battleship : Increases the range of all dreadnoughts and titans.
- Virtual Alien Starship : Technology costs less to research
- Penumbra Apex Wreckage : Increases the damage of all dreadnoughts and titans.
- Dyson Sphere : Just joking
And maybe: - Rachni Allegiance.
- Yahg Covert Upliftment.
- Vorcha Conscription.
Should the Reapers be able to get Artifacts? It could make it quite unfair if they can.

There could be a prothean VI that decreases build time for ships and structures

[quote author=wolfrahm board=feedback thread=11 post=146 Should the Reapers be able to get Artifacts? It could make it quite unfair if they can.[/quote] Well, an artifact is an item used by an older civilization that is more advanced than the finder which results in a powerful bones. But the Reapers are over a billion years old and already wiped out and harvested the creators of said artifact. Perhaps artifacts should be treated as a tool to help even the odds against the reapers and lessen the technology gap between the two. But i'm not a modder, I have no idea if it would even be possible.

I was just suggesting that the Reapers shouldn't be able to use Artifacts, not because they're incapable, but rather because they already have those advancements.

The current ones (some of them are placeholders):
Leviathan of Dis - Research data on the Leviathan of Dis has revealed a variation in kinetic barrier design, providing greater barrier mitigation - Shield [Barrier] restore rate increase
Prothean Data Cache - A recovered Prothean data cache has revealed some advancements in FTL drive design, which have been adapted for use aboard your fleets - Inter-solar travel speed increase [Phase Accelerator]
Matriarch's Writings - The writings of an ancient asari Matriarch have been uncovered, creating much hype towards your government - Hostile culture resistance increase
League of One Medallion - The unearthing of an old League of One medallion brings about a new sense of pride in military service, seeing a surge in enlisted personnel - Increase in number of ship supply
Library of Asha - The recovery of ancient asari military texts helps to improve the training of combat forces - Damage increase (12%) [Kinetic Intensifier relic from base Sins)
Object Rho - A newly discovered Reaper artifact with an incredibly powerful biotic barrier allows for designs to be drawn up based upon it - Reduction of planetary bombardment [Ion Field Generator]
Arca Monolith - The Arca Monolith has been reverse engineered to help healing rates of friendly forces - Planetary population growth increase
Pillars of Strength - (unknown) - (unknown)
Thorian Creature - The discovery of a "Thorian Creature" on your world has increased tourism and trade on the planet.
Dark Switch Technology - Discovery of the "Dark Switches" on Mass Relays allow safer transit through these incredible super-structures - Allows mass relay travel (wormhole/star jump technology)
Code of the Ancients - [An old Virtual Intelligence system is uncovered, providing valuable information on technological differences.] (needs changing) - Research cost decrease/Research speed increase
Book of Plenix - An ancient volus text that encourages debts to be forgiven during times of great need, such as war. Heeding the call, people of all races have cancelled their debts, providing more credits for the war effort - Increased trade

What about Leviathan, a reaper that can side to who ever captures a planet. So what I mean is that the once a certian planet is captured Leviathan will spawn a be part of the fleet. Or it can be use as a artifact.

Or it can be use as a artifact. Sure that's been discussed before. I don't know what the outcome was. probably in the negative.

I find the Thorian artifact funny.

It's kinda ironic that the Thorian increased tourism and trade when it would just mind controll the crap out of them.

There are MANY things we can and will add in for Artifacts. If anything, I consider this too easy a task considering almost every planet in the ME universe has SOMETHING hidden on it. Since Reaper_Armada and I are working on the Research trees for the factions, we might as well think up some artifacts as well.

just use ME1 for reference. Things like the Leviathan of Dis or the Jupiter brain would be awesome not to mention the Prothean data discs and matriarch writings.
