You can skip some Storyline missions and replace them with Career agents, COSMOS or Datacenters - again, important thing is to achieve desired results. Assuming Connections V, for all starting factions it's 3.81 with two friendly factions and 2.3 and 3.0 with enemy factions. With initially high standings it's also possible to achieve 3.0 with both enemy factions, which skips one SoE Epic arc. If 3.0 and 3.2 is achieved with enemy factions, one faction Epic Arc can be changed to SoE Epic Arc, which is significantly easier, but offers less rewards. | You can skip some Storyline missions and replace them with Career agents, COSMOS or Datacenters - again, important thing is to achieve desired results.

==Proof of concept== | |||
In this section I will describe my run, together with skips I did, and time needed to finish complete Ploy. Keep in mind that my starting point might be higher than yours - this has the most impact on difficulty/time needed to complete it. | |||
===Starting situation=== | |||
My initial standings were: | |||
Gallente: 3.89<br> | |||
Caldari: 0.79<br> | |||
Minmatar: 4.10<br> | |||
Amarr: 0.69<br> | |||
These standings are a result of 2 SoE Epic Arcs and 175 Storyline missions of various levels - but when I started playing I also lost quite a lot of standings due to my lack of knowledge about missions against empires. | |||
Since Gallente and Minmatar are similar, as are Caldari and Amarr, I have a choice of path - both Gallente and Minmatar are equally feasible. Since from Amarr I had 3 Career agents, and from Caldari only 2, I decided to run Amarr Career agent to get to starting point in Gallente Path - I needed to push Caldari to 1.2. I could try pushing Amarr to 1.7 instead, but that's not possible with only one Career agent. Since I want to start as soon as I can - Gallente path it is. | |||
After 4.5h I've finished 3 agents (Military, Advanced Military and Exploration) in my new T3D, then for business agent I had to switch to Coercer for some missions. Finishing all Amarr agents took in total ''XX''h, which resulted in following standings (minimum required for Gallente path in brackets): | |||
Gallente: 3.65 [3.20]<br> | |||
Caldari: 1.36 [1.2]<br> | |||
Minmatar: 3.47 [3.2]<br> | |||
Amarr: 1.50 [0.5]<br> | |||
FIN? | |||
