So, I jsut went into map designer to change around my current universe, just pop out the pirate bases and replace em with wormholes for more "hey look, i'm now right over here" fun, but er, I can see where every artifact in the universe is already, and its not even been 5 minutes. Instead of planets having to discover them, they seem to have all discovered them from the moment I finished loading in.

I dont know if its a bug or glitch or what not, it just seems a lil...strange. Though I know exactly what planets to take now though, dont even have to explore the other planets now, yes I know I should to get all the non-artficat bonuses, but hopefully, you can see what I mean, oh denizens of the interwebz.

Edit: Adding pirate bases back in seemed to make everything go back to how it should be, with the "I can only see phase lane connected planets" and overall "just started" visibility...I'm a tad confused, though it could of just been a one-off.

Btw, didn't use preview btw, since I use it for 4 set players, not the random 10 players preview gives me.
