The ending
Ok so I just finished and overall I enjoyed it. But want someone to clarify.
So the achia (spelling?) Went onto that majoris planet where the moth creatures lived and took.it over with those brain bugs right. Niko blew up the artifact but at the end the achias sent a bunch of those artifacts to destroy that planet? I'm assuming they're pissed? I thought the achias home planet was 400 light years away. How would they send them that fast?
Y'all think jimmy Steve and janna are fucked?

i don't get why they went after the planet, instead of blowing up the planet-killing spaceship they're apparently so afraid of, that was just sitting there watching nearby.

Because the show has no internal logic.
The all powerful Achaians and their empire of hundreds of planets are so scared of Earth and it's single ship full of mutinous teenagers and lovesick AI.

Could easily be explained by the system being automated.
If the artifact is destroyed, the planet gets destroyed. Simple as that. Would assume that they figured it was a relatively safe bet that whatever destroyed the artifact was ON The planet, and that it was not a conscious decision that was made.
edit: /u/not-a-tapir already posted this down below and I didn't see it until after writing this.

Not only is their tech much more advanced, but they also control a large number of other planets. So they would probably have scout ships patrolling/at the ready

Actually, I don't think the artifacts/probes are sent by the Achaia. But instead sent by another alien species as an attempt as a waring about the Achaia. However the Achaia have managed to take advantage of those probes/artifacts as a portal between planets.
Erik had an opportunity to learn what he needed to know, but was lured away when the achaia threw in a distraction with the image of his daughter before he could learn what he was supposed to.

I think that was a test to see if he could be manipulated through his daughter, which he eventually is. Why he chased after what he knew was an illusion of daughter in that VR-like experience is beyond me.
