In all the category descriptions all it says is that you have to beat certain missions and no use of admin mode during the run. Does this mean I am allowed to cheat in characters with the best gear in the game and just run the missions so long as the gear my characters have is obtainable without doing the missions first(this only really applies to the opening mission of the game). Also if I am allowed to spawn in with items I am not able to get until after the opening mission then cant I just spawn my character in with all the items I need to scan then place them down and scan them?
But what if, for example, I am only doing the avian mission. Then without cheating couldn't I just go out and get the best gear in the game legit and then come back and run the avian mission?
You are not allowed to cheat in any sort of way. If you do the mission in the order you get it, you should only have the proper tiered armor and weapons.
Well then there should maybe be looked into the runs, that we have right now, cuase it is not normal to have 500 Nanowrap Bandage at the Hylotl missions, and neither 2 legendary boomarangs ??? It should maybe be changed to a new game + run, because it is not what you normaly have at that point in the game.
I agree with Ziskal. I think if certain items are not allowed in certain runs then that needs to be specified in the rules. Also I think the universe in the game should have to be reset after each run since, as Johnboy989898 mentioned in the missions thread, all characters are in the same universe so you could just write down all the coordinates of any planets that have scannable items and just reuse those for every run. The rules are vary unclear about all of this.
And the same thing is with the Avian run, it also seems like it should be a new game + run, for same reson as b4.
Hey, Ziskal, I do apologize for contacting you here but when you get a chance, I need to talk to you about your run. I will be in the discord for the rest of the night for me. The link for Discord is in the Discord? thread. If you can not use it, please let me know. Thank you for your patience.
