How easy is it to modify artifacts?

So, the title- my friends and I occasionally play and I'm rebalancing the game a bit for our tastes (I.e. Long Range Frigates actually being long range, for instance.) And the big one I"m running up against is one of the artifacts is pretty much considered a joke prize; the anti-bombardment one, as twenty percent MAY be a lot- but it just means the massive bombardment fleet just hovers over the planet a bit longer. 

How easy would it be to rearrange that to add, say, +10% or +15% shields to a player's ships?

Open up the ReasearchSubject_Artifact_planetBombingShield and change the research modifiers from bombing related to shield related (might want to look at one of the shield researches to know the format of what you need to input)

Thank you very much :) I've edited some other stuff before, but Artifacts are new to me.

Artifacts are purely research items in the artifact tree. Or in other words, they are fairly simple to modify, and once you can do one you can do them all.
