Hello i speedrun NG+ and i can tell u you can casually shave off 10mins off your run through warping faster. so most of the time u were warping places u just tab - hit r - then x. which opens the menu selects your quest objective automatically then X is to confirm warping to said place. like for example when i finish talking to sarah/victor u could just do that and make menuing way faster. instead of going back onto your ship. also when collecting the artifacts theres a faster way of getting to them which is the big time save. when you land warp again to the location your going to itll put you BASICALLY right outside the objective. (this will literally save u like 5mins of running around without even trying). also theres a landing skip animation u can perform if u want (when u warp to a planet. get out of your seat before landing, mid animation then warp down.) after that warp down again and ull be on the ground while your ship is still landing skipping the long animation. it bugs the ui out so u need to quicksave/quickload but saves like 10seconds. we actually have similar artifacts so u should be able to get like a 30-35min time with practice easily. i recommend using the Dash, solar flare, phase time as the main 3. invisibility one could be helpful depending on your artifacts (i think it could help with the robo factory one). i recently got a new pb 17:46 without loads (21:23 Real Time! ) of blasting through the unity, i have it uploaded on youtube you should check it out! . im still salty they techically buffed the starborn ship battle so that fight is like a minute slower now on latest patch but overall the run is the same. also if you wanna bring sarah along i suggest assigning her as a ship crew member that way she just stays onboard. so when u get to the last artifact done u can just warp to ship and talk to her then head to the starborn. personally i leave her at HQ because its faster without loads to just warp back to constallation and talk to her (then she appears in some random spot in constallation which is harlious). but if you got any questions let me know
Great ideas! I watched a couple speed runs (including yours) and seems there's a lot to learn. That ship landing fast travel seems pretty easy to pull off. Leaving Sarah on the ship makes way more sense as well. Will take a lot of practice but if I can shave it down to sub 30 I'd be real happy! Maybe would even warrant a speedrun.com submission at that point too. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
