Hi all,

I'm looking for a good ship fit that will allow me to finish plowing through level 3 missions to get the standing requirements for pirate epic arcs in addition to using the basically the same ship for the epic arcs. I'm basically wanting the same ship with minor fitting tweaks to switch from hisec missions to lowsec ones.

Any advice would be welcome.

EDIT: I was thinking about using a Wolf, but I don't know if it would be able to take the damage from level 3s.

I used an Ishkur personally. I actually used my pirate arc fit to grind my standings to get used to it.

And remember, you don't actually have to run LVL 3 missions. You just have to get standings to be able to run LVL 3's and then you can do the pirate arcs.

True, but it's the fastest way to level standings solo, isn't it?

Just use a pvp fit disposable cane.

Lvl4s are actually faster for standing grind. Lvl3s are for those with low combat SP, or pvp fits.

Might help if you revealed your skills as a Minmatar trained pilot would not do well in an Ishtar.

Not sure if I understand. You need standings to do LVL 3 missions with the starting corp. If you already have that standing you don't have to grind up your standings. if you don't have the standings you are going to be using LVL 1 and LVL 2 missions to grind your standings up to LVL 3.

You can use the Sisters of Eve epic arc to grind your standings. The pirate arc requires a small ship to complete. I used a slicer myself. A combat intie or AF will do aswell and perhaps a T1 frig too. You'll want it as cheap as reasonably possible since you may loose your ship.

Pirate Arcs?
Frigate.
More than 150 dps.
Inty / AF, fit for pvp - with web/scram etc.
NPC's aren't too much of an issue, its your PVP environment you want to keep in mind.

For standings to access the level 3 Pirate Epic Arcs, you probably already have it or are very close to it.

There's 3 different starting agents for each of the Pirate Epic Arcs (Guristas and Angel). 2 Empire agents and 1 Pirate agent for each.

Basically all you need is +3.00 or higher Corporation standing and Faction above -2.00 standing with the starting agent. There's also some Pirate Epic Arc Support Packages available for a small ISK fee.


Good luck to you.

For minnie skilled pilot?

Wolf

or if you want something more disposable use a thrasher (maybe stash a few thrashers in curse or venal before you start in case of pvp losses).

While this is true, I can't do level 4s until I meet the standings requirement to do the pirate arch.

Standing needed:

  • Pirate - 4.35
  • Lvl 4s ~ 5


Anyway, thank you very much for the advice. I'll probably fit a wolf up and see how it goes.

That's not true, level 3 missions are generally considered to be the standings grind and level 4 missions is the money grind. You can usually cycle thru a few level 3 missions in the same amount of time it would take to complete a level 4 mission.

As I said earlier, you probably already have or are close to the required standing to access the Pirate Epic Arcs. You don't need standing with Pirate Factions to start the Pirate Epic Arcs. There's 2 Empire Agents available as well.

For access, can use either Faction or Corporation standing at +3.00 or higher. If using Corporation standing for access, the Faction standing needs to be above -2.00 standing.


These are the 2 Empire starting Agents for the Guristas epic arc, 'Smash and Grab' :

Agent = Arment Caute
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Federal Intelligence Office
Faction = Gallente Federation
Location = Orvolle system

Agent = Atma Aulato
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Ytiri
Faction = Caldari State
Location = Obe system



These are the 2 Empire starting Agents for the Angel epic arc, 'Angel Sound' :

Agent = Aton Hordner
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Republic Security Services
Faction = Minmatar Republic
Location = Egbinger system

Agent = Arajna Ashia
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Amarr Navy
Faction = Amarr Empire
Location = Sendaya system
