Can't explore a planet with artifact?
I get a message that says "You already possess all the artifacts that this team could find", and it won't let me send a mission. Is this planet completely unexplorable now? It's blocked a huge chunk of the galaxy.

It is possible that certain artifacts can only be found by certain types of gaters. My artifact team was soldier medic scientist and those were all I found. I didn't even consider at the time that you need a specific gater to bring back a specific type but it makes sense now. So if you want a chance at a war type, you need a soldier on the team. Scientist for science. Medic for medical, and so on. So swap out a member of that team for a person of the missing types and it should let you send.

I guess this means you can target specific artifacts then. Want a war type to improve your soldiers risk reduction? Send all soldiers only. Want to complete the science bonus for better patents? Send all scientists to the artifact planet.

Looks like that was the answer, thanks. I was using a team of all scientists to explore; sending a mixed team to that planet worked.

Yeah, when sending a team to artifact planet, you get a chance to get an artifact corresponding with any of their classes.

Thanks for confirming that for me, I was wondering what would happen if I'd send a team for which I already completed collections.
