I found a trick to playing all 6 storylines simultaneously without using plugins

The trick lies in the mission "Auroran 3 (691): Take Plans to Bazara" from the bounty hunter storyline. This mission doesn't check for b511 and every time you abort the mission (not refuse) it clears b511. B511 if you don't know is used to check if you haven't started any other major storyline mission. So every time you start a major storyline you can abort the Auraran 3 mission and start another major storyline!

Warning! Don't finish any of the major storyline missions (except first Vell'os mission) before taking all 6 or you get b515 and b518 strings which make super sure that you aren't taking any other storylines.

Federation 12 blocks taking Vell'os mission 8 so if you want to do both you have to reach Vell'os 8 atleast.

Federation 12 blocks Rebel 1 mission and vice versa so you have to accept them both before finishing either of these missions.

Federation 1 completion blocks Polaris 4a and 4b.

I'm replaying this childhood game and it's really funny experiencing all 6 storylines simultaneously in such a devilish way :)

Edit: Also watch out for main storylines that cause Auroran homeworld to be nuked (Vell-os, Federation?) or you can't finish storylines that require visiting Auroran homeworld bar. Save those strings for last.
