I have discovered almost 100% of my home sector and see zero relics. There is no slider for them in the game setup either.
They're out there. Just not common at all anymore. Relics now do like 10X more bonus than they ddi before. They're back to how they were in GC2.
I think "not common" is a bit of an understatement if I don't find at least 1 in my home system. Doesn't matter how powerful they are if you never find one. Also tends to make some of the Precursor technologies not very helpful unless you find a relic.
I really didn't think they were that over abundant in the base game. Maybe dial down the bonus and make them a little more common would be a good compromise.
Man, I must be an idiot. I don't even know what they are, and I've been playing since GC 2. Granted, I don't think I've finished a full game in 3 or 4, so there's that lol.
If you are referring to "Artifacts", I can see one in your screen snapshot about a quarter of the way in from the right and a little above center vertically.

I believe he is referring to the Precursor objects that give control. manufacturing, research, ect.
Is the below screen snapshot the item you are referring to? If not, can someone provide a screen snapshot of what a "Relic" is?
Yes this is the "Relics" we're talking about. I'm in my 4th game and have never found one in my home system. Just seems a little too "Rare" for my taste. When things are rare and offer powerful buffs, the lucky Civ gets an advantage I can only overcome by conquest. However since that's my ultimate intention maybe it doesn't really matter in the end 
I hadn't noticed it before, but you are right: I did not have any relics in my home system either. The screen snapshot I provided was from a neighboring system.
So here there are 2. I'd probably expect there to be 3 to 4 so I'll bump that.
Thats as many as I used to see in the base game, before Supernova and that would be in the larger sectors.
Thought you were nerfing them.
Is that from a small universe setting? If I'm playing max size would that account for the odds going down for any one sector seeing a relic?

Yes, if that is the whole map. Then that might well be your problem and case my last post is invalid.

This was just a small map. Resources and such are based on the size of the map. bigger the map, the more stuff.
Yes, that's how it worked in the base game, but they changed the frequency of relics appearing so that doesn't happen in Supernova.
@scifi
Thank you for your post. Current game vision is to have relics extremely rare, but also extremely powerful, to make fights over them way more important. But we appreciate your feedback, and we welcome other users to share their thoughts in this thread, as we are in early access, and may adjust much more easily to player's requests
