So, do any of us actually know what the good ending of Solarium is supposed to contain? Judging from the lore descriptions in this thread, I'd wager that the good ending is to achieve what the cultists failed: To ascend. To rise above mortals (Successfully achieve the ever present theme of finding immortality and escaping the overbearing presence of death.), and become a starchild. (Child of the Star, or sun. A child does not have to be young, if you think of its definition.) If you think about it, you wouldn't just ascend in-game, you'd ascend among that players. You would be the one(s) to complete solarium and would be held far above any other players and gain favor by the closest thing to gods that this game has: Admins.
Second off: Are the conditions to the good ending absolute, or are they always changing? Any modifications to the requirements for the good ending would happen in the shadows and could be happening at any moment. Any lead we could find to the good ending could be quickly damned and disconnected if it was realized that it was "too easy."
Side note: This Ascension thing reminds me of the Chozo in Metroid Prime.
