Or take the really challenging road and go pick up the Voinian string, but ignore it for a short while, then pick up Renegade strings but hold those for a short while too, then pick up the UE missions and juggle those with one mission of one side followed by another mission but on the other side then another mission of the third string. Stick to that order and you should be able to end up with a Voinian Cruiser outfitted with Bronev plating, mine layers, and a cloaking device. Then go to strand space and follow the same plan, giving you a Voinian Cruiser with the Exp. Shield generator, plasma siphon, phased beamer, Zidagar ECM, Bronev plating, mine layers, a cloaking device, and everybody liking you.
