Eliminate VCs and Randomize Artifact list?

There has been a number of discussions regarding mixing up the
artifacts list (somehow randomize it) to help add more mystery to the
game. I like the idea, but recognize that nations with artifact
related VCs will have an advantage.

Trying to think out of the box for a moment...

Is it possible to somehow tweak the VCs by simply listing the
artifact by name and not include the artifact #? The other option -
is list the number of the artifact but not the name - a little twist
on strategy - do you expend orders to discover what the VC artifact
is or not?

The last item is whether you can simply eliminate the VCs from
printing in the turnsheet?!?

Not a programmer, but it might be worth looking into...
