Is The Plan mission the last?

[Muton]

I'm not sure I want to finish up yet, is the tactical strike on the clone yuggothian the end?

[kiloromeo]

Pretty sure it is it.
Haven't played for some time though.

[Muton]

are there other endings? I thought each faction had their own optiional ending.

[kiloromeo]

The faction (perhaps only one you are aligned with) that are first to complete their last big research locks the final mission as far as I know.
You can help the faction of your choise along on own research-tab or try to beat them all to it with Pheonix-projects own solution.
The final mission will be much the same game-wise with different endings.

Synedrion should have 2 endings depending on support of intern sub-factions (terraformers and ??) and Anu should give you special extra person on last mission.

It looks like I have a mission, The plan, where I kill the clone yuggothian with viriphage, I think that is Jerichos ending, also theres a research for phoenix project where I bomb the world with virophage, I think thats Phoenixes ending, then theres a Schism mission, I think thats Disciples of Anu. Nothing yet on the last one

[kiloromeo]

While I recall that you can research them all, again I think you can only play the first one to be completed.

So "The Plan", tactical strike against Pandoran Palace is the Phoenix Point ending? On a side note, there is a research project available "Virophage Injector". Maybe these two are related

I think The Plan is NJ ending and you can only finish the game now with this ending if you can see the Pandoran site Palace is ready for assault.
To get Phoenix Project ending, you needed to complete Virophage Injector research before any factions had completed their final research...

It seems from tech tree that all of the final projects either have mission as prerequisite or have tech requiring mission as prerequisite. Can you stall them indefinitely by not doing that mission?

I'd like to be able to set up my campaign in such a way that I could branch off 4 endings out of it (if I understand correctly, Synedrion's ending depends on whether you supported Terraformers or Polyphonics during course of the game, so you unfortunately can't branch it off at the very last moment).

The Virophage project is the Phoenix ending which is perhaps the worst one. If you don't have max allegiance with a faction you can research the virophage project but it forces you to take that ending. I was planning to do Synedrians ending but I wanted to finish all my research first. I unlocked virophage and all the factions declared war on me. The game made me take the bad ending because I didn't have a previous save.
