One thing I come come to appreciate about your designs is how deceptively... material. It looks like something from an armored core game, that near-future or "20 minutes into the future" look, and yet it has all of these wonderful hyperdimensional and reality-flipping technologies in it, and it seems to me that the only way to counter Tsviet tech like this is to have a greater or more-powerful level of multiversal hax than they are allocating into the device.
Based on what you said about the Outer heaven ship, there is nearly no way to erase a Tsviet military presence unless the enemy in question has the ability to more "quickly" undo reality into their desired form to get rid of the Tsviet forces before their multiversal command has the ability to recorrect the mistake and undo the enemies' actions. The only way I know how to do that would be to create instantaneous untamperable fixed points of multiversal temporal reality, so omniversally locked that not even the powers of queen LOVE, EGO fields, and the other haxtech the Tsviets have can undo it.
While I have no doubt that something like that is possible, I am equally sure that a civilization like the Tsviets would factor in that as one of their first considerations.
Also, why do the Tsviets still use so much lower-tech material, baryonic technology that is in the realms of 21st century understanding? even if they absolutely have to invade that one dimension where mysterious forces make only tech to a certain extent work, can't they override those laws by linking and pooling the powers of enough alternate-reality queen LOVEs until they make that reality their bitch, essentially?

Like I said in the Authority Override post, there's a quality to quantity and the Tsvìets sometimes just make the weekly quota. Spending more energy and time creating a higher tier weapon platform rather than a thousand lower-tiered platforms could mean the loss of planets by the time the advanced weaponry arrives. 90% of the Tsvìet military forces are quite literally 'holding out'.
Plus, lower tiered tech is usually needed (and enough) to deal with non-Phantom enemies. There are plenty of species who worship the Phantoms, work for them, or are simply distrustful, foolish, etc. towards the Tsvìets.

They need to make more AOE tech, if they get the chance, stuff like wormhole missile launchers that can teleport barrages of whatever's appropriate and annihilate a million different enemy fleets in a million different locations.
Reading the second bit, I now see why they would want allies who can deal with the armies and hordes of mooks while they deal with the elder bosses, essentially.

While they do have many AoE weapons, they want to try to preserve as much of their universe as they can while they use them.
The Outer Heaven can do something similar. The most common mode of transit between one Tsvìet location to another is linking two ship-fired wormholes to create an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, making a corridor of instantaneous travel.
Larger ships can open portals big enough for a fleet to come through.
Now, imagine if they opened portals linking to in front of Outer Heaven. It's 4,700 miles long but 3,000 of that is a trio of massive Neo-Nethycite tendrils corded like rope. These leave a 200 mile wide corridor in between them, making a massive cannon. The Outer Heaven can fire country-sized shells at speeds that get faster the longer it travels and denser the more it travels until it reaches just under critical mass, equating to something with the density just shy of collapsing upon itself smashing into targets at speeds faster than light. Not only that but these shells can change form, as if the tendrils unravel, they can fire millions of smaller, 'smart torpedoes' of that energy, each enough to destroy an entire planet's ecosystem. Now, imagine all of those traveling through the portals in one galaxy and coming out at an enemy in another galaxy cluster? Essentially artillery with unlimited range. Whoever said 'Artillery is the God of the battlefield' was wise beyond his years.

There is only one Outer Heaven class in each universe/reality, corresponding to the Queen LOVE, right? If the Tsviets were a little less relatively-pressed on all sides, would they be able to eventually make more in the same universe, with the Queen cloning and replicating her essence eventually. Can she do that?

Yes, they would be able to make another Outer Heaven but the moment they made the first one was when they became an actual threat in that universe to the Phantoms' senses as it has no doubt been fighting an infinite number of them across the omniverse so for obvious and smart reasons, it doesn't want to deal with a second.
It's possibly, just probably not how you'd imagine it at first. Trans-humanism and transmigration concepts have big roles in this universe, such as the CIPs being data clones of Tsvìets and all. HUKE, the overmind of the AugInts and the sentience of Outer Heaven, is the data clone of LOVE. It'd be child's play to gather energy particles to build another LOVE piece by piece had they not been connected as they were. When LOVE made the first neural connection with Outer Heaven, they essentially became extensions/avatars of each other, since they were essentially of one being in the beginning before Outer Heaven was even conceptualized in that universe.
However, if somehow LOVE's body was destroyed, she would simply be recreated within Outer Heaven like a respawn. There are also numerous factors that make destroying her body extremely hard to do, mainly because of the complex nature of her existence and powers.
There's the risks of conflict in the chains-of-commands as well as the diversion of a great amount of energy in replicating herself unless, as you've said, they could afford to.
There is so much I've developed for her that I wouldn't like to spoil anything more in open comment sections but I can say without exaggeration that if it actually comes to it, she would be the last thing left standing should the whole universe become corrupted and the why/how would be stabbing/pushing/shoving/headshotting the limits of what I've revealed to you so far in regards to the scale of a single universe.

So the completion of the Outer Heaven essentially tingled the phantoms' Antispiral senses. That is quite the intriguing information, The Tsviets have every inkling of what they're doing and need to do but are butting heads with an enemy far larger and vaster, eldritch in scale across the omniverse. Their greatest weapon and hope is also what drew the attention of such enemies, only those outside the scope of the conflict can appreciate the irony of that.

Not a BOLO. Didn't even know what those were until a few months into this rendering by Avitus12. I looked it up and saw the average length of the newest model was about 100m, give or take, so I decided to make this something that can take on three Mk.27 Bolos and win. I appreciate the sentiment though.

Thanks. This is one of the three 'triumvirate' of the ultimate war machines of the Tsvìets. It's also the smallest, hence a 'light' class.
