Why did Q's Planet get banned in OTF again? Is it because it's too easy of a planet mission to complete for the rule of 1 planet/1 space?
-Easy artifacts or other self-seeds. (You are right that this would be a way to make it easier to earn under-used artifacts... the problem is that it also makes it easier to earn the super-powerful ones, which doesn't help the weak ones see play.)
-Easy planet mission
-If it can't be stolen (OTF or Fair Play in Open) then one player unilaterally controls the winning score.
-Makes point loss decks that much more painful. I once played a Hero of the Empire/Destroy Radioactive Garbage Scow deck that seeded Edo Probes and The Higher... the Fewer everywhere; people would solve a mission and only net like 5-10 points. Q's Planet made it game over.
-Q-type Android was also a far stronger card than most gave it credit for.
