Unsure about artifacts working

from GalCiv4 Forums

I used the artifact that adds survey ability to a ship, and it didn't seem to work.  Right after applying it, I was unable to survey.  BUT, I saved it (after I applied it) and reloaded, and then discovered it DID work after all and now I was able to survey.  The kinetic +2 one didn't work, even after a reload or waiting a turn.  Other artifacts seem to work great so far but those two seem weird.

I've seen that with the survey artifact, for me it's always started working after the next turn.

I remember that I used the kinetic one once on a ship that didn't already have a mass driver and it didn't give it a kinetic shot. I now always check that I'm giving weapon upgrades to appropriate ships.

Oh is that it?  Previously +2 would actually GIVE kinetic attack to a ship if it didn't have any.  I was even able to give it mass driver upgrades when I did that on a capital ship.  But ok, that's been changed, good to know.
