Apparently You can do Epic Arcs over again..
I have a few questions.
If I restart an epic arc do I lose any of the standings or rewards gained the previous time I did it? or can I just farm the arc every 3 months and get loads of standings and isku. |

Hi,
I'll take your questions in sequence:
"If I restart an epic arc do I lose any of the standings or rewards gained the previous time I did it?"
I assume by restart you mean you have previously completed the epic arc. in which case, the rewards for the arc remain the same. You do not loose any standings or rewards previously earnt. Standings increase works on a % and the effective gain is less the better the standings you have, working towards 10.
"or can I just farm the arc every 3 months and get loads of standings and isku. "
Simply, yes you can, within any limitations the acceleration gates may impose on ship types. So even though your character will have better skills and may be able to fly a better ship, you may find the ship type restricted in certain epic arc missions due to gate restrictions.

Ok that sounds awsome.. I think I will do the gallente epic arc again so I can get more standings and isku.

I've done the Caldari epic arc Penumbra several times; I have at least 6 Hyasyoda labs from it. There is some loss to Gallente, but nothing that some Sisters of EVE storylines can't fix. Takes me about a day to complete in a Tengu (I do a subsystem swap for the lowsec and nulsec parts). I do it every time the 3 months is up.
Other than the lab, it is worth about 180m I think (Two Steps Into Hell = 40m) |

Interesting fact: Sisters epic arc allows you to bump your chosen faction standing without the corresponding loss to the opposing faction. |

Doing an Arc every 3 months is hardly farming, though...... Unbanned since 2011.10.20. |

It can be a nice boost. The Angel arc is about 400 mil for 3 hours worth of running around in an interceptor. |
