They would be lengthy, but I have noticed one of our runners doing Conquest speedruns. They're doing them on Easy which seems fine by me, way too easy to lose a run to crashing into an airship or just being overwhelmed by missiles. Not sure about what to do for the Alert level rate. I don't think a good run would reach Red Alert (30+) at 0.5 rate.

Why not create a separate category for it? Question is, should there be an any% category that is Easy difficulty and uses PW, and a "new game" category that starts with reset progress.
