There are a number of suggestions already made about artifact storage, and also the ability to control the order that they are processed.

I suggest an option to upgrade research stations, with each new level allowing it to store additional artifacts. And also suggest a change so that we can control the order the arts are researched.

For the 1st: we could just hit upgrade when we get the credit cap and credits avaiable, similar to the way the planets and other stations operate.
For the 2nd: it could simply be that the arts are research from left to right, top to bottom and we can drag unresearched arts around in the same way we drag the modules around on our ships.

Upgradeable Research Stations for extra arts storage. Controllable arts research order. QOL

the 8 arts per research station is there for a reason. it's to enforce/accommodate a 24h cycle of minimal play, similar to harvester/genesis/shipments/croid/bls cycles.
that's why it's 8 and not 12 or 4.

Its easy to guess that its based on a 24hr cycle. But that's also why it often comes up short. Real life doesn't allow a person to play at exactly the same time every day. Sometimes we go away for weekends or even longer, and then the station productivity stops. Other times our game time comes sooner, or we bring in more than 8 arts and then we could end up with storage problems. Also don't forget that the lowest level arts are processed faster, yet even the new players also have their personal lives, and don't have a 24hr cycle until later.
