Rykad Majoris (Spoilers)

[RasaNova]

Ok it seems like the order of chapter 1 events matters a lot, and once you visit a certain planet then no further exploration of the system is possible. So my question is, spoil me please, what did I miss by not being able to visit Rykad Majoris before the event takes place? Is it worth reloading a save from before triggering the event?

Assuming you're not talking about the prison colony, Majoris only had a crashed Dark Eldar space ship that you can investigate for some xeno artefacts. Nothing too major.

This. Some Dark Eldar space trophies for a little Navy rep, and a crummy weapon, I believe.

ok there is only 2 difference first or not first. and you have 3 to choose from

not choosing Rykad Majoris as a first lets you out of saving 2 person.
1 the private that come gets you to the governor is still alive, and is a good guy.
2. at the aa gun you can convince the rebels to quit being rebels, because at this point the rebellion just started, and skip the fight at the AA gun

there is a possible 3 third that is lens room, but since i wasn't reading i can't tell you.

That's Rykad Minoris - OP is asking about Majoris, the (only) optional planet in chapter 1, which has nothing but a "check it out from orbit, get some dialogue for possible loot" event.

Ok thanks folks I can ease back on that fear of missing out. I'll hit Majoris on a future playthrough.

So I'm guessing the order of planets in order to see everything would be something like:
1. Get the Navigator
2. visit Rykad Majoris
3. Clear the prison
4. Meet the trader on the unknown voidship
5 The main course at Rykad Minoris

But then I'm guessing that by doing everything it changes the outcome of some events due to taking too long... Or maybe do Minoris first. but just don't finish it and come back later?

LOL this game wreaks havoc on people suffering from FOMO.... (really enjoying it though)

I hear that.

Anyway, if you go to Eurac V first to get the navigator, you can get Cassia and her servants alive, and have the choice of whether to take parts (scrap, I presume?) or valuables (profit factor) from the station. If you go there second, the servants are dead I believe, and your only option is to grab whatever scrap you can. If you go third, it's just Cassia.

With Rykadi Philia, the prison, if you go first, you'll arrive in time to catch Evayne before he falls into a trap and is tortured, and his squad can join you for the battle against the warden (as long as you try to be diplomatic, because Evayne won't back you up if you just go killmaimburn right away). If you go there second, you'll find him alive but tortured, and if you save it for last, he dead, I believe.

Rykad Minoris, if you go there first, then you can talk down the AA gun crew into quitting the rebellion (and I believe one or two will appear to back you up in the ambush at the parade), as well as save Private Camille who will be a loyalist (and also shows up at the parade), but if you leave it for later, the AA gun crew are too far gone into heresy and Camille's already been killed and replaced by a traitor stealing his identity.

Just don't do the parade, it's the point of no return.

Just to make it clear, it does say he is healed later in dialogue, so there are no negative consequences in game for doing this 2nd

I'd go to Eurac V first to save Cassia's servant
