I completed Smash and Grab, the Guristas epic arch, and got around -3.0 points in Caldari faction standing! I started the arch from Arment Chaute, Federation Intelligence Office. Is there anyway to get away from losing so much Caldari faction standing? I want to do the arch again when the timer is up but the standing lose in Caldari is just too much!

Also what kind of standing and how much do I lose if I do Angel Sound, the Angel Cartel epic arch? I was thinking of starting it from Republic Security Services.

Please advise

Yes, you **can** avoid the significant losses against Caldari ... and by the sound of it you didn't do too badly. you can lose a lot more.

This, and lots lots more is covered in exquisite detail in the manuals that come with our epic arc survival packages. For details have a look in the selling trade forum below or follow the link in my .sig

... and you just earned enough isk to buy a dozen of our kits :-)

Good luck.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

I remember your advertisment cans at mission start location. But I was running a low budget noob operation in a Claw, I had to watch my expenses. With lots of planing and patience I got through without getting ganked. But Angel Sound seems like it will be harder to pull off without getting ganked and taking a significant lose in Guristas standing! I might have to consider using all intel sources avalible.

I hear there is 3 more pirate arcs coming up in Inferno. I think it's Sansha, Blood Raider and Serpentis. Will you expand your business?

Awww c'mon. Now that you're a piwate arc success you can well afford our superb products :-)

Angel Sound is a little tougher overall. The best-access route is easier but Curse is more active, almost continuously, and certainly more PvP-active than Venal. The missions themselves? Arguably a little tougher but much of a muchness.

If more pirate arcs get included then we will certainly build kits for them. The kits we have built have gone down very well, and it's a nice gentle passive income stream now.
There was mention of more when those two were installed. but I haven't read anything more solid than that since. i hope they do build more.

I can't find the source any more, but I'm 100% sure I saw it recently somewhere on EVE web sites. If I remember correctly it was linked from a EVE client banner. And it was one of those CCP messages that give breif info (about inferno in this case). Honestly I'm not making it up :)

You sure you weren't seeing them talking about adding in new Serp, Sansha, and Blood DED sites?

Yes it said "new pirate epic arcs for Sansha, Boold Raider and Serpentis". That's how I recall, and I read it more than once. However I agree it's rather odd that I can't find any reference now.

DEV's please help me out here!
