Amarr epic arc

Recently purchased and fitted a Navy Armageddon.

My general fit is:
7 faction/T2 duel heavy pulses (tried mega in EFT but got nowhere)
2 for each main mission specific hardeners (so four in total)
a large faction armor rep
the other lows fit with sinks
an AB
cap booster
5 t1 light, medium
4 t1 heavy


My question is would I be able to (after some practice getting used to the not moving much part of flying a BS) handle the Amarr Epic Arc solo?

Also, should I really focus on getting T2 light and medium drones before I attempt such a thing?


Note: didn't post rigs because I am experimenting with different setups...

You really shouldn't be flying a BS with t1 drones in the first place. Generally you pick up medium t2's alongside BC's. This is especially true with the navy geddon since it is half drone boat. I suggest you take the 3-4d to train them immediately. They should be your highest priority at this point from the sounds of it.

With that in mind, I recommend picking up a set of imperial navy curators. T2 hammerheads maybe quick to train but t2 sentries take a month or more. As for the epic arc itself, I know nothing about it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I really never bothered with much drone training in the past because I've never been in a situation where my T1s didn't do the job. But I will get on that ASAP, as it is only a few days.

Re: Drones I agree with King Rothgar - get those T2 drones asap.

Re: The Amarr epic arc - I completed this recently and although I cannot comment on your fit specifically, I don't think you'd have much of a problem with it. It's not that hard imo.

I would suggest you try it and see how it goes. If you find you're still lacking in some area (gank/tank) you can simply pause and train the relevant skills before continuing, since epic arc missions have not expiry date.

I referenced Eve Survival Mission Reports while running the Arcs. The comments listed at the bottom of each chapter page provides some extra updated info for the missions.

the amarr epic arc is pretty nasty, you may want to run it with a drone boat, a missile boat, (rattlesnake maybe), or lots of friends

amarr epic arc does lots of tracking disruption. Going in with a low range BS is not a good idea IMO. As i did it (long time ago) i used a navy apoc, T1 tachyon + T2 drones. They can't kill your falloff at least, so you have a chance to kill the BCs if you align properly, however it wasn't fun also.

however the navy armageddon can hold T2 sentries. They should be able to deal with the BCs at least

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
