The problem was species like Ba'ku, or Son'a, or Talaxians, that have a mission or other card that gives them unrestricted free reports. We were afraid of a deck that turned all your people into Ba'ku, them vomited out personnel late in the game. Testers eventually confirmed that this was a problem, so we had to take away the species imitation.I feel like unlimited free reports is almost certainly the power level an artifact needs to have in order to be playable. That's not necessarily to say that I think that artifacts should be playable, but I think that's the kind of thing it would take. After all, the most recently playable artifacts have said "You get a two mission win," and "Your opponent loses their ship with the most personnel aboard, permanently. Like, they can't even Isomag them back." In comparison, "You can play a couple more people a turn even though you already have enough to solve a mission" seems quite reasonable.
