Do this to keep both Caldari and Amarr Faction Standing high while at the same time reaching 5.0 Faction Standing with both Gallente and Minmatar so you can start their [[Epic arcs|Epic Arcs]].

===Step 4. Epic Arcs===
 
−
With 3.81 (Standings V) or 4.10 (Standings IV)  you have 2 Epic arcs unlocked - run them both, picking standings reward (Minmatar!) and avoiding standing losses (Minmatar Arc has unavoidable ASmarr loss of 0.004, and Caldari Arc has potential losses that can be avoided). This will push Gallente and Minmatar to 4.75 - which allows us to lower them in next step, while gaining standings for Caldari and Amarr.

−
===Step 5. Rebalancing===
 
−
This is the tedious step. Right now storyline missions give very small net standings gains, they only shift them around. What you need to achieve are (minimum) the following standings:<br><br>
 
−
 
−
Gallente - 3.81<br>
 
−
Minmatar - 3.81<br>
 
−
Caldari - 3.00<br>
 
−
Amarr - 2.30<br>
 
−
<br>
 
−
To get to that point, you need to run 7 Storyline missions with 1% reward - faster storylines to farm come from L2 Distro missions. Simply run L2 distro missions for Major and Minor enemy factions, either swapping them every couple of missions, or start with Major enemy and run it until Chosen faction drops to 3.96. If you choose corps required for Step 6 - it will shorten whole process<br>
 
−
Another option are L3 Security missions - there is one missions chain ([New Frontiers]) and one Storyline mission chain ([Kidnappers Strike]) with very good standings rewards.<br><br>
 
−
With this step Gallente and Minmatar are complete - you should have effective standings for both above 5.0.
 
−
 
−
===Step 6. Last two===
 
−
To Close the gap for two remaining factions, you need:<br>
 
−
* Caldari- run faction Epic Arc
 
−
* Amarr - run faction Epic Arc, then SoE Epic Arc - the order is important if you started with minimum standings!
 
−
 
−
===Step 7. Deviations from The Ploy===
 
−
If needed, whole plan can be adjusted to suit your needs. Two possible adjustments:
 
−
 
−
* Step 3 - If your initial standings are higher that minimum required
 
−
You can skip some Career agents (they are very useful for Step 5 if available) - but keep in mind that you still need to achieve desired results after Step 3, which are available in [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-H30NZjdxuHW8KXeIUiTF2DoQTziTsL346c7dPL7_cM/edit?usp=sharing| Google Spreadsheet] . Due to asymmetrical standings modifiers these requirements are different depending on path chosen. Having wrong requirements after Step 3 might delay whole process by 90-180 days, needed for next run of Epic Arcs.
 
−
 
−
* Step 5 - If your starting standings are higher, or other means of standings gain are available
 
−
You can skip some Storyline missions and replace them with Career agents, COSMOS or Datacenters - again, important thing is to achieve desired results. The best way is to check [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-H30NZjdxuHW8KXeIUiTF2DoQTziTsL346c7dPL7_cM/edit?usp=sharing| Google Spreadsheet], as it's required to simulate whole process.

The Ploy

The Ploy: Gallente Path is a guide to completing The Ploy for those who have high Gallente Faction Standing.

You can follow the Gallente Path only if you have the required Unmodified Standings:

Required
Standing
 Icon skillbook2.png Connections IV Icon skillbook2.png Connections V
Gallente 3.67 3.09
Caldari 1.60 0.97
Minmatar 3.67 3.10
Amarr 1.00 0.38

EVE Online displays only Effective Standings. Chris Halsky's Sheet will suggest which Path you should take based on your current Standings.

Step 1: Career Agents

You need to achieve at least the following Unmodified Standings:

Required
Standing 		Icon skillbook2.png Connections IV Icon skillbook2.png Connections V
Gallente 4.29 3.93
Caldari 2.19 1.79
Minmatar 4.29 3.93
Amarr 1.58 1.17

Complete any ten out of fifteen Career Agent Mission chains for each Empire in the following order:

  • 5 Caldari
  • 5 Amarr
  • 5 Caldari
  • 5 Amarr
  • 5 Gallente
  • 5 Minmatar
  • 5 Gallente
  • 5 Minmatar

Do this to keep both Caldari and Amarr Faction Standings high while also reaching 5.0 Faction Standing with both Gallente and Minmatar so you can start their Epic Arcs.

You can skip Step 1: Career Agents and proceed to Step 2: First and second Epic Arc if you have the required Unmodified Standings.

Step 2: First and second Epic Arc

Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:

  1. Syndication
  2. Wildfire

Avoid destroying Amarr ships during the Church Of The Obsidian Epic Arc Mission. The Ploy assumes you will lose no more than 0.004 Amarr Faction Standing during the whole Epic Arc.

Step 3: Re-balance Standings

You need to achieve at least the following Unmodified Standings:

Required
Standing 		Icon skillbook2.png Connections IV Icon skillbook2.png Connections V
Gallente 4.11 3.81
Caldari 3.27 2.93
Minmatar 4.11 3.82
Amarr 2.62 2.26

In addition, you will need 5.0 Effective Standing with:

  • Gallente
  • Minmatar
  • Caldari's Expert Distribution Corporation
  • Amarr's Ministry of Internal Order Corporation

To achieve the required Standings you need to complete seven Storyline Missions:

  • for Caldari Corporations for +1% Caldari Standing reward
  • for Amarr Corporations for +1% Amarr Standing reward

To generate the Storyline Missions you can run missions for Caldari's Expert Distribution and Amarr's Ministry of Internal Order Corporations. This will simultaneously increase your Corporation Standings and allow you to start the Caldari and Amarr Epic Arcs.

Instead of Storyline Missions you could do:

Step 4: Third, forth and fifth Epic Arc

Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:

  1. Penumbra
  2. Right to Rule
  3. The Blood-Stained Stars in which you will side with Amarr

Avoid destroying Gallente ships in Penumbra.
