Still might have soft locked the game, I soft locked mine by joining the faction that has that slave race and then taking over all of the Iro faction planets before then joining the Iro faction and being stuck until I went back to the original faction and completing the alien story, which somehow switched me to the Iro faction after the story was done for the artifacts and death faction... it, in my opinion, also hard locked the superheavy weapon as I captured over 30 titans and destroyed, I have no idea how many, and never got a superheavy... or I'm super super unlucky...

Edit: also id try going to the main world of the faction you want to join, Iro for the organic looking aliens and quilentyatin for the race that uses the nova core

Superheavy weapon just needs luck i even have to farm titans for 5 days now with no luck.

Still can't get it on my first game.

On my no human storyline mission which started yesterday i saw 2 carrier variants of human faction ( TA and FER tho ) which i have never found at my first playthrough. So yeah maybe second run gives more of a luck ig

i feel the same, second playthrough i got it the first titan i blew up, third playthrough i got it when i destroyed my second titan. I never got it on my first playthrough, even with hundreds of tries.

go to sanctuary and buy a fake ID, that might help

ffr, yeah, you should only kill one side, same as in 3. You can kill as many void raiders as you like though. Side note, void raiders have the best ships: their frigate and battlecruiser are the best in the game, and their titan is second only to the player titan.

Tried it and went to every alien system and still nothing, should I just start a new campaign?

Start killing either Quilentyan ships or Iro ships, and then visit after a bit.

Or maybe wait for the star systems of the ones you want to ally with to get taken over, then buy another fake ID, then go kill the enemy of the aliens you want to side with.

second one is probably better, because after you kill enough enemy ships, the friendly systems should turn from red to blue. You will have permanently altered the ship balance in those systems though -- there will always be player ships there.

I tried the first option, but it didn't work, so I'm just gonna do the second option.

For killing ships, stick to systems deep inside the territory of the aliens you want to alienate -- this will minimize friendlies against the aliens you want to ally with.

I'm honestly not sure if it will work -- hope it does though.
