What's the difference between 2 name embedded titles vs 2 core custom of said titles?

[ryder004]

Let’s say you’re running a 2 title stack. You want to go name embedded, what is better, 2 separate NE titles, OR 1 custom with 2 cores of said titles??

Main Disc. Thread - Name Embedded Major Titles (Testing Period)

As @RagnarLothbrok pointed out, it’s less dense, more focused and is best used for those who want to commit to a tighter stack (or single title). Except instead of a CORE (which has some of the support scripting removed in order to make it fit the custom process), this is the full sub, exactly as it would be as if you were just running the major title, except customized. Even though the UI may say “Core” (since it’s just pulling from the product database), Q-Engineer will know to use the “Maj…

I guess it depends on your need and your vision.

Name embedded titles have longer scripts (exactly the same as standard store titles), cores only have core scripts without supporting scripts. One can choose add one module in name embedded titles or as it is, for customs one has to fill minimum five slots, e.g. three modules in this case. Name embedded titles are more focused, customs are more mix and match. Name embedded titles are more time consuming (in this case since one listens to two subs) while customs in this case count as one sub.

I personally find name embedded titles more suitable and effective for me as I used to get tripped up by the modules picked in customs, e.g. if one or more modules no longer clicked with me, I no longer wanted to listen to that custom, or if one module caused recon, the whole custom caused recon. Of course it is a unique me issue, so take it with a grain of salt.

A custom has the advantage that the cores are merged and thus work better together and have better synergies.
Also you get support scripting only once.

The six modules you’d have more is another topic. Can be a argument for a custom or against (as in chases case).

@SaintSovereign is 5 modules the new minimum amount of modules for a custom ?
I was still under the impression it’s 10
But it’s been so long since I made a custom
5 modules would be amazing tbh

[Parsifal]

10 is still the official minimum.
But you can open a ticket and ask for @QEngineer s permission. He knows best if the build will work with only 5 modules.
There were cases when 5 modules had enough content to create a custom.

See below. It’s the reply of support.

@PizzaShaman

I am aware that there is a 10 module minimum for custom build, but does that apply when cores are added? Would I be fine to go with a 2 core only custom?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Please note, the minimum module requirement for a custom subliminal is 5 modules. This ensures that the custom has a sufficient level of complexity and variety to address different aspects of your goals effectively. Cores, while important, are part of the overall structure of the custom subliminal and contribute to its depth.

Lol, I’m 99% sure that Saint confirmed it in a thread early this year that the limit is as I stated above. But after a day of Sauna I’m to exhausted to look it up.

Not to contradict you, only to notice that support and founders sometimes differ in their communication.

[gdbdboy]

I have a Custom with 3 modules .

@Parsifal

Yes I noticed this also. I remember came across a few posts where the answers from support contradicted what the founders were advising (like you too tired for me to look them up now lol) In fact in one of them Saint pointed out directly support was wrong and he didn’t know why they answered that way.
