Hey,

I've been meaning to give the pirate arc a shot for a while now and finally decided it's about time I gave it a shot, so now I'm trying to decide on the ship. Given the ganky nature of the environment, I'd either need something that can avoid bubbles or can travel invisible. I narrowed my options to Astero, Crusader, Claw and Stilleto, as those are the ones I have decent skills to fly.

I wonder how any of these would perform? I don't mind a hundred million price tag on SoE frig, provided it performs much better. Im' just not sure if it were better than a Scorch Crusader in any relevant way?

The interceptors are the best choice simply because of the ease of traveling through nullsec with them, I've done the epic arcs with a Rail Ranis and Scorch Crusader and both worked fine, some of the missions were dicey and I had to warp in and out but they were all doable. No point using the Astero IMO, even with cloak, a good bubble camp can decloak and catch you but interceptors are nigh uncatchable in the right fight.

Sadly the character I want to use has almost no missile skills. I think I'll try it out with a Crusader for now and then go back to missile training if need be.

Thanks, guys. Beer's on me next time you're in Jita ;)

Did it in a Thrasher. Thought ceptors wouldn't have enough dps for the last mission in the arc... guess I was wrong.

I just ran it in an AC Claw with AB + medium shield extender, had no problems completing at all (speed tanking ftw). Take some phased plasma and some fusion or barrage ammo (3k of each will be more than enough).

I would advise to fit wcs for travelling and switch them for gyros for the mission. You should have enough cargo room for a mobile depot (also there is always a station not further than one jump away).

Occasionally you will run into a fast-lock gate camp, and the wcs actually saved my ass recenlty (inertia stabs alone won't guaratee beating a good fastlocker in a Claw).

I've done the arc in an Executioner but these days, any interceptor is much preferred.
