It is actually similar to what @mecharc seems to be doing with the regular subs. He switches his stack daily according to his needs.
I think customized ultima subs would be more focused and convenient though for his strategy.

Hey Saint! I know custom Ultimas were your main focus for the past couple of weeks.
With their launch, I wonder what are launch priorities next.
I know the two main things in the air are name-embedded majors and multiple masks for customs.
Any note on which of the two are currently the primary focus?
I would love if the majors with name-embedding comes out next --> something for the more lower-budget crowd
Nah, he’s gonna finish those stacking instructions.
YAAAYYYY!!!
Any plans for Primarch or an iteration of it for public use any time soon?
As for Ultima power, kindly, take a look at my journal on the Commander:
Commander Stark Aura
I tried LibertineU too but only for one day and only one loop. The results were pretty interesting.
Personally, I would be glad if the more experienced users could share their knowledge on stacking on here. Maybe even one well-written post could serve as a solid base for those instructions. Please.
Have you read this post? Anything else you learn is basically going to be derived from the points made here.
Yes, it’s like a general guideline which could be a great context or baseline to some more detailed instructions. I think what almost everybody is looking for are numbers.
I’ll finish that one when I have time, I had started it at some point before but didn’t finish it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Are the multiple masks coming soon?
I don’t know how about stacking Ultimas (two or more Ulimas) but stacking one with a major program gives great results as you can read in my journal and I bet in the journals of many other users who decided to do the same. Actually, I stacked StarkT with two Ultimas once. With the Commander and Executive but I started stonewalling and it felt weird in general so I gave up on listening to the Executive.
I don’t know if I’d say I’m a ‘more experienced user’ but I’ve run some experiments in my 8 months here
Here’s what I’ve discovered
Thanks Azriel! Great guidelines. Saved this post to personal notes for future reference
For sure! Hope those help a bit in the navigation until official recommendations.
While we all respond differently, I would bet my experience with those would or will reflect others when running similar protocols.
When Saint told me I asked pretty much the same things. Here’s how I got it after about two days of asking questions.
- You can pick any 3-6 modules in the Q store and then build them as an Ultima. So not as Q, Terminus or T², but as Ultima. Any module that’s currently in the store (note to SaintSovereign: does that include the “regular” cores?).
- The Ultima Cores (so the things that are Ultima now, like Libertine, Elixir, Commander and so on) will not have corresponding modules in the Q store. This is done for two reasons.
First, because Ultima is tricky to code and therefor there’s no guarantee if it would work if you take for example Libertine Core and you add a few seduction modules on top. The technology is not yet smart enough to figure out if the combination you pick will actually work well together in a single Ultima.
Second, because as Saint stated above, people will inevitably build a non-Ultima in the store that contains an Ultima Core. Which won’t work because of how Ultima Cores are scripted.- To answer @Floridianninja’s question, the store backend/software doesn’t support the complexity necessary to lock certain modules to an Ultima build and certain modules to a non-Ultima build. So a choice had to be made, and given that a custom sub takes time, resources and money, SubClub chose that for the time being, we’ll protect people from themselves and not add Ultima Core modules to the store. This will likely change in the future if the store software changes/evolves.
So there’s the confusion that we all share(d). You can build regular modules in a smaller, targeted Ultima format (which many people have asked for), but you don’t get Ultima-only modules.
I expect we’ll be seeing custom Blue Skies Ultimas and named Stark Ultimas and Physical Shifting Ultimas (second note to Saint: will physical shifting work faster in an Ultima?).
Hopefully all with new masks.
Can this get pinned somewhere, or added to the FAQ? It took me a while to find this specific info, and I was even part of this thread… lol.
Pretty crazy to think about when this announcement post was made versus where we are now. SC went in quite a different direction and most of the stuff in the first post of this thread hasn’t happened yet.
Lol especially when it came to people adding ultima sub cores to regular Q subs lol.
