I'm thinking of a category that involves getting all (or most) datacrons either on a certain world (as an IL sort of) or on a certain side. Of course, some of them require outside help so there could maybe be a solo category for the solo only ones and a cat for all of them, but its just a thought anyway.

datacrons unlock server-wide and there is no way to reset them which means you would only get 5 tries per account at doing a run like this, and thats assuming you dont already have any so this seems like it wouldn't work as a speedrun at all.

I dont think the cat has to require a new character or new account, more so just interacting with them.

good point, i didn't think of that.

we could add a category with 1 or 2 planets to start with and see if there is any interest in them. we would need to think some more about how the rules would look exactly like: -what would the starting point of the run be? -are there any mechanics that shouldn't be allowed? (quick travel, Razor's Kickstart tactical, etc)

if you want to try a run already as proof of concept that would also help a lot.
