Recently one of our runners & community members, Nighlin, created a Fast Dialogue Mod (FDM) for this game. Only usable on emulator, it speeds up dialogue prompts and message prompts in order to remove waiting from Official Mode categories. This removes multiple minutes from every Official Mode. Consequently, it will have its own subcategory variable. Suit viability varies somewhat between "standard" and "FDM" so it will also add to the available routing options.

Nighlin has also prepared an NG+ save file with maxed suits and pilots for Official Mode, which is also available for use on emulator.

Both Fast Dialogue Mod and the NG+ save can be obtained on the Resources page.

The leaderboard changes have been completed.

The changes are as follows:

• Timing method change to Sum Of IGT to establish parity between players on SSD and HDD and to allow greater routing depth (can swap skill loadouts/suits without losing time). Currently existing runs will be retimed accordingly. Retiming has be handled in a publicly visible spreadsheet in the Resources tab for the sake of transparency.

• Emulator added. Currently we are not aware of any gameplay differences (IGT is tied to framerate so less lag on emulator does not provide an advantage)

• Category split for DLC suits.

• Addition of Official Mode ILs as the game currently lacks an ILs leaderboard.

• Addition of 8-star hard subcategory for NG+.
