Seen a few threads saying there is not enough time for story line which is not correct however perhaps clarifying things a bit would help.
Yes it is quite feasible to do all the Faen story missions to the point where you have to choose one and complete that thread along with taking out time to make some money and build at least a couple of your contacts and perhaps do a bit of rep fixing.
Where I think it causes problems for new players is you start with this mission so people do it straight away, in fact what you should do is drop her off at Faens then go explore, do some missions for your contacts (while your passenger compartment is empty) and only then do the story missions. You want to do them reasonably early so you can buy some military rank for recruiting and perhaps a trade permit or 2.
After all you have now had a chance to learn a bit about your local quadrants so you are well set to take advantage of them. Perhaps start it 6 months in why the Prince rested his hopes on a Captain that has no knowledge of the universe is beyond me.
Of course you can save even more time by just following 1 or 2 of the Faen threads.
Arbiters Missions - Rallying support this needs some clarification I still do not really know how this works and asit ushers in the next era that's a problem.
To clarify is the timeframe I have for "Rallying Support" when the coalition forms and the Second Era should start if I do not complete it early. Should I therefore aim to complete the prince missions and get back to her in about 10-11 years not the 2 & a bit I originally did
First time I played finished all 3 Prince Missions there go my Faen missions as had only played for around 2 years and the Era changed, what the hell restart.
Next attempt I only get 2 Prince Missions go back for the third and its not offered, month or so later and its new era time again, luckily Faen thread done dual of assassins had literally just finished.
So the question is around when should I complete it I am assuming 7-11 years in as the second era will start with or without me around the end of the rallying support mission.
If I am to slow does she give the 3rd prince mission to someone else?
If so can we not get a warning 1-2 years before saying I have another mission if you want it call in.
