The "Spawn an Overlord ship" artifact does not in fact spawn an "Overlord ship" anymore. This ship type was probably replaced in one of the major changes to Supernova. What you get is a pretty crappy generic Gunboat. Either change the wording or bring back (preferred outcome) a special "Overlord" class ship with at least Cruiser stats .
Similar to the Artifact issue above is the "Robotic Star Drone", which also gives a generic Gunboat (Frigate). It would be much more immersive to have the result be a ship called "Star Drone" and it should probably be below Frigate class, maybe something like a Star Eagle fighter class - a beam attack seems more appropriate for a drone.
Hey Scifi!
Thank you for all the footwork! It's really great to have you with us 
on a side note does anyone else find after 3 or 4 of these the ship will no longer spawn?
(or did I break my game)
I'm sure I spawned at least 4 of each, don't remember if I did more, as I said above you can't tell because ships not labeled.
If you can post a save before the "non-spawning" happened, I'm sure they'd take a look at it.
