Treasure Hunt Scenario

Hi, the Treasure Hunt scenario seems to only count unused artifacts, with your number found dropping as soon as they are emplaced on a ship or planet. This isn't the end of the world on ships, though it does feel wacky to scuttle your titan just to get them to count again, but on planets can (and I think has) make the game impossible to complete

 

Unrelated, but in the Defend the Homeworld scenario are the invaders supposed to ignore your frontlines and attack deeper planets almost immediately? I get that it's a smart move from the AI but in the context of the scenario it just feels annoying, at least to me.

Hello! After asking the team, it sounds like this may actually be working as designed for the scenario. Is there any way you think it could be improved? Always open to feedback

Hello Ramma,

Thanks for getting back to me!

On Treasure Hunt, it feels like it would make more sense if the artifact count was total owned, not total sitting in inventory.  In the game in question I've wiped out the Vasari and competing AI, but now need to run my titan (and other capital ships with artifacts on them) into the pirate base and hope they can kill it, as it turns out scuttled capital ships drop no wreckage and the artifacts are then lost forever.

Assuming the pirates manage to down the titan it should be possible to complete the scenario, but I can't imagine the devs intended the climax of the game to require suicide by pirate, then picking over the wreckage of your own fleet
