Just did it in a pulse fit succubus in 3h30 (from first payout time, not sure exactly when I picked up the mission)

AFs shouldn't have a problem at all, but if you're going with a frig then pack a cargo expander in the hold for the one larger courier mission.

but what would I know, I'm just a salvager

I generally run it in a passive shield Vexor because a passive Vexor can tank stupid DPS for a cheap ship.

You can however fly the arc in almost anything that can break 150 DPS as there are only three slightly challenging missions, one neuts you, one scrams you and the third is of course Dagan.

Doing it in a cynabal now with 3 tech2 warpspeed rigs. autocannons don't need cap, dps is well over 200 and its cargo bay has all the room needed for the transport missions while still packing all the ammo you need. It rattles around at 7au and its trivilised any challenge in the arc so far. did some lev 2 and 3 sites with it just to break things up and it monstered those too. nice little ship.

Will gank for food

You don't even need 150DPS. I ran the whole thing on a low-skilled alt in a mostly T1-fit rail Catalyst with about 120 DPS and a meager passive tank (ANP + DC II). It takes a while to chew through some of the big tanks, and that mission where you get scrammed can get a little tight, but it's workable.

Or you can use a MWD T1 Talwar and faceroll the whole thing.

Any T2 assault frigate is overkill. You might as well rig for warp speed, because everything else is easy. The only thing I wouldn't do is fit close-range weapons. Kill from 20km+ out and the whole thing is easy.

Did it repeatedly in a Wolf. I don´t think my shield went even once below 2/3 (on an armor tank).
If you have at least some skills the main problem is reduced to boring travel time, really. I might try an Interceptor next time to cut down on this as well.

Never tried it in a T2. Also never did it when I could fly T2s. Did all of it in a Merlin, switched to Caracal for Dagan. Was pretty cake.

I've done it with interceptor last time. SoE arc is more about warping a lot than anything else, so IMO it's the best ship for the task. Although you'll have to get some frig for Caldari part because you'll need to haul about 200-300 m3 of cargo on one mission.

To answer your question, yes, there's no problem with T2 frigs (did that too).

DPS should be around 300. More than enough for all missions.
