A few somewhat stupid questions

Okay, I've been playing the game for some time, but I can't find out a few details on how you go about doing certain things.  How do you train your capital ships?  I've read that you can do this, but can't figure out how.  Also, how do you research artifacts?  Is there something I'm missing?

In the ability selection menu, there's also a button to increase the capital ship's level at the cost of about 1500 credits (depending on what level it is, and discounted based on how much experience is required before it levels up).

 

To get artifacts, you click on the planet and select the planet upgrades menu.  One of the upgrades available is called "explore planet".  If the planet has an artifact on it, you'll find it by purchasing this upgrade.  This is a gamble, however, as not all planets have artifacts or other bonuses.

I have actually discovered artifacts, I just thought that when they mention "artifact research" that it meant you could improve them in some way.

The Advent can research an upgrade that makes searching for artifacts cheaper.   Combined with their mothership's colonize ability (which reduces all planet upgrades for a short period of time on the colonized planet) you can search a planet practically for free.
