The Artifact Recombobulator™

[atomic1fire]

I dunno about just completely rerolling the artifact. I'd rather have some kind of thing where you break the artifact down into smaller components that can be used to either build a new one, or combine them with existing items for new tech

I agree.

I don't know how useful static forcefield generation would be, but being able to put the battery that powers a teleporter artifact into a taser might make for a really robust taser. Or you could just mass produce teleporter guns with enough resources. Overall I think the better the initial effect, the more stringent the requirements to reproduce it using the station's technology.
