I know this is a dumb question but

[Caye]

Can someone explain to me what exactly is a Q CORE and ULTIMA CORE.
Why are they cheaper?
Also why cant we just run Cores alone… considering they are cores… as per my understanding.

Where are you reading this from?

My guess is that you are looking at the Q Store (q dot subliminalclub dot com). That website is for making customs.

The main store (where you can purchase an audio and play it immediately) is at www dot subliminalclub dot com

Q and ultima are old technology, outdated with ZP. Q was the predecessor to ZP and Ultima was a booster. But ZP was a successor to both.

AFAIK the cores are updated whenever a major title is updated. So they should all be ZP format.

You mean why are the cores cheaper then major titles in SC store? Because they aren’t meant to be run alone.
For the price, they aren’t cheaper if you want to actually listen to them because the build alone is 99$, so you would need to pay 113,99$ for a single core custom.

@Lion Do you know, does a major like Emperor contain more then just the Emperor core? Is a major title like a core + modules? Or is everything that is contained in Major Title Emperor also contained in the core (-primer or you would have a tripple primer with a three core custom)?

Everything in the Emperor main store title is contained in Emperor Core. Saint or Fire had confirmed this on the forum.

Yes. Minus primer.

Just to make sure
If I want to build a custom, I pay 15$ for each core/module + 99$ for the build?
So let’s say, I wanna build a three core, 12 modules custom that would cost me 324$. Is that correct?
And if a core/module gets a upgrade like v2max or NRE I can rebuild the exact same custom with the updated core/module for 50$?
Also, where in the q store do I find QTKS (not that I’m planning to build a custom any time soon, not te mention a QTKS custom)?

That is correct for all the questions.

This is the link.

EDIT: there is no way to find the QTKS build option on the Q Store without having a direct link to it as of this writing. But it will be made so soon.
