Oh dear, wonder what this is about.

The artifact classification system?

[Beirus]

Is it because somebody other than Pyro started to figure it out?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Probably just a warning that the UWM also has artifacts and what we have is the stuff they never figured out.

[syvarris]

I'm curious why it's called "Color Solid Dash" rather than something like "Color Shape Dash", which would be more descriptive under our current understanding.  Maybe the shapes were categorized by odd groups rather than just the number of sides?  Or maybe I'm thinking about it harder than PW?

It's also interesting to note that apparently the research crews actually are fairly hands-on with these artifacts- I had always thought they were absurdly careful with all of them.


@Beirus
Probably. I hope not though, as that implies that whenever we get close to figuring it out, it'll change.

[Beirus]

Probably thinking too much about it, but might be "Color Solid Dash" because the shapes are solid colors instead of just an outline that is the color and an empty black or white space inside the area. Also, PW would probably change it anyway when we get close to figuring it out so newbies aren't jumping in and abusing the system to get something that breaks the balance before the first mission. Because then all missions would be like M15 or M18

True, perhaps instead of better items for more tokens, it could be more tokens=Better idea of what it is, so 3 tokens mean you get a box with no identifiers, while 10 tokens gives you a basic idea of what kind of item it is (defensive, offensive) and a choice of the identifier marks on it.

Indeed. Also because I finally got the Artifact generator working and it produces more detail then the old system. You're gonna get some neat, very odd stuff in the future.

Also Fixed prices aren't gonna be a thing anymore. Or I should say Fixed to 3, 5 and 8 or whatever it was. It will vary depending on the stock anywhere from 1 to...well that depends on exactly what it is. When it generates a vehicle you're gonna have to mortgage your...suit. I dunno.

[Beirus]

Can we mortgage our old artifacts to afford a new artifact?

[Toaster]

What about limbs?

[Beirus]

What about limbs?

Oh, oh, can I sell Mesk's arm for an artifact?

[Xantalos]

Inb4 a certain someone gets infinite artifacts by selling a billion limbs to the people who sell them

[Wolfkit]

Why stop there? Harvest freshly defrosted inmates and sell them.

[NAV]

So, will our old artifacts remain unchanged?
Also, will it still be possible to get artifacts from old missions, like the HEP pyramid or the alien power source?

Yes

And yes.

[Beirus]

Wait, could the generator end up making something like an artifact synthflesh or robotic body?
