	First hint: Don't buy it.  Too late for that one, though.

	Next:  SOME of the artifacts will do things, but they'll do it 
automatically.  There's a Cloaking Device that will activate whenever you're
in
an encounter with weapons armed; a Ring Device that automatically locates all
fluxes (useless, a fully trained navigator does that too); a Crystal Pearl
that
warps a badly damaged ship to the nearest safe point.  There's also the three
items you need to win the game, but I'll let you figure out what they are and
such.

	Most of the other artifacts are indeed useless; just sell them.

	The ships with the plasma weapons are *probably* Uhleks.  I say
probablybecause they're the only ones I never got to talk to.  And, I never saw them
again after destroying the Uhlek Brain Planet.  (Which was a joke in itself;
the "Uhlek Brain Planet" had NO guards of any kind.  I just flew in and blew
it
up.)  The Garzutoids were suposed to be mean, but the only time I fought one
I blew the snot out of it.  Then there's the guys in the huge spherical ships
that scan as all rodnium, but shooting at them didn't do anything and talking
to them, when they would talk, got me a string of binary numbers.  Never did 
figure out what to do with that.
