Even if you are using an interceptor you should plan for how you will deal with losing your ship and pod, possibly multiple times. If you don't want to risk or can't fly T2 frigates the arc is easily completable in a cheaply fit destroyer with an empty clone.

== Mission Guide ==

Almost all missions in this arc can be accepted and completed remotely. Doing so can substantially reduce the amount of travel theat you have to complete, which is the riskiest part of the arc.
  
−
You begin this chain by visiting one of the below agents.  Pretty much everyone should have access to one of these agents, but you may have to grind a bit to be able to get the mission.  Some of the missions can be accepted and completed remotely.  Always check if you can request or complete the next mission remotely, it can save you much unnecessary travel through dangerous places. Some of the missions have choices, I have only outlined the chain I completed to receive my Cynabal blueprint copy.  
+
Unlike the non-pirate epic arcs you have a choice of three different agents to start out on the arc. The choice makes no difference in the progression of the arc, choose whichever one you have the appropriate standings with.

== Enjoying your rewards ==
  
−
The agent wants you to go check out a wormhole. Travel to the location. Check it out man... groovy. Return to the agent to receive your reward. Travelling is very different in null. Try to approach gates from odd angles. Warp to celestials near gates and d-scan them to check for camps. Always be aware of local and your grid. &nbsp;
+
Firstly if you want to sell the CONCORD emblem do it before you pack up and leave, you'll get 10 million ISK at any Angel or Serpentis station.
−
 
+
The final task of the epic arc is to safely transport your loot out of null security space to where you want it to either use or sell. If you don't feel sufficiently confident in your ability to evade gatecamps you can either try and find a suitable wormhole or setup a courier contract.

==== '''Mission 3: '''''Fight or Flight''&nbsp;-&gt;&nbsp;''Serpentis Fill-in''  ====
 
−
 
 
−
This mission presents you with a choice. &nbsp;I chose the less combat intensive mission to make it as quick as possible. &nbsp;This is a courier mission. &nbsp;You want to make sure that you do NOT get killed while transporting the cargo or you will not be able to complete the mission. &nbsp;I've heard the cool-down for this epic arc is 3 months but have not confirmed that. &nbsp;Regardless, you should transport this cloaked and take utmost care while travelling with it. &nbsp;It is small (2m3) so you can fit it in a cov-ops or cloaked frig. &nbsp;When you get to the drop off container you have to right click it and choose open cargo and put the delivery in. &nbsp;You can not hold the left mouse button to bring up the little "cargo" context dial for some reason. &nbsp;Right clicking the drop-off container and dragging the delivery into the building's cargo is confirmed to work. &nbsp;You can complete this mission remotely, just start a conversation with the agent from your mission journal. &nbsp;Always check if you can request or complete the next mission remotely, it can save you much unnecessary travel.

−
==== '''Mission 4: '''''Ride to the Rescue''&nbsp;  ====
 
−
 
 
−
You travel to a destination and warp in on a battle that is finishing up between the Angels and their enemies. &nbsp;There will be 4-5 ships leftover, most likely two frigates, a cruiser, a battlecruiser, and Yukiro Demense. &nbsp;Yukiro is the objective. &nbsp;Completion should be easily obtained in a long range destroyer. &nbsp;Be careful, Yukiro and the battlecruiser&nbsp;can tag team you pretty quick if you don't pay attention. &nbsp;You can bring a salvager to this mission and salvage all those wrecks but I didn't want to risk getting probed down or attacked. &nbsp;Are you checking if you can turn this in remotely?

−
==== '''Mission 5: '''''The Best Kind of Revenge&nbsp;''  ====
 
−
 
 
−
In case you weren't picking up what the good agent was laying down... the best kind of revenge is destruction. &nbsp;Bring a long range destroyer out to a location and kill two mercenary cruisers that can tear you up if you get close. &nbsp;I used the trash fit arty thrasher listed under general notes and set orbit to 40. &nbsp;You can probably safely ignore the missile batteries. &nbsp;When the mercenaries die you get a group of 5-6 frigates. &nbsp;When those die you also get a wave of "rookie" ships that are easy to kill. &nbsp;
 
−
 
 
−
==== '''Mission 6: '''''Wrath of Angels''&nbsp;  ====
 
−
 
 
−
Kill Yukiro again. He receives fairly strong reps from the nearby Remote-Repair facility; make sure you have Large Collidable Structures turned on in your overview settings, and destroy this first. This will also destroy the nearby Missile Batteries, making Yukiro fairly easy to kill. Check if you can turn this in and get next mission remotely.

Go talk to a Domination Agent. &nbsp;These guys are the shadowy overlords of the Angel organization. &nbsp;Sweet reward for travelling to him and chatting it up.&nbsp;

==== '''Mission 8: '''''The Lesser of Two ''(Kadeja Dulche in K-QWHE) -&gt; ''Situation Normal''  ====
 
−
 
 
−
Choose Situation Normal and rejoice in your easy mission. &nbsp;Long range destroyer owns this solo little cruiser's face. &nbsp;Don't get careless.. it could kill you if you give it the chance. &nbsp;You have to bring the code the engineers drop over to the communications array and drop it in the station cargo the same way as you did for Serpentis Fill-in. &nbsp;The context dial thing seems not to work.
 
−
 
 
−
==== '''Mission 9:''' ''Breaking the lock''  ====
 
−
 
 
−
Warp into three successive pockets. &nbsp;Each pocket has a building you have to destroy. &nbsp;The 1st pocket has 4 destroyers, the 2nd has 5, and the 3rd pocket has 6. &nbsp;I was very glad I was in a destroyer for this, the artillery killed them before they got close. &nbsp;If they get within 20km they can bring the pain. &nbsp;Keep your distance and they go down easily.
 
−
 
 
−
==== '''Mission 10:''' ''Fear of Angels&nbsp;''  ====
 
−
 
 
−
You've actually been such a raging pirate that you've attracted the attention of CONCORD special forces. &nbsp;Some agent is trying to gun you down. &nbsp;Strip the artilleries off your destroyer and load up auto-cannons or your short range equivalent. &nbsp;The agent will orbit you at 9km, neut you, and do pretty decent damage from her interceptor. &nbsp;Loot the tag she drops, it is worth 9-10m. &nbsp;Turn in mission.

If using the Maulus, orbit at drone maximum range with MWD enabled.<br>

== Victory is yours: Important Considerations<br> ==
 
−
 
 
−
Now that you have obtained your delicious rewards you probably want to get them to high-sec to sell. &nbsp;The target painter, blue-print, and tag from the concord agent take up about 6m3. &nbsp;You can fit that in a cov-ops ship if you can fly one and think you can make it without getting caught... there is quite a bit you stand to lose if you do get caught. &nbsp;You could also create a courier contract for the items. &nbsp;If you do that you probably want to move the target painter to the same station as the blueprint and CONCORD tag and set up a courier contract. &nbsp;Luckily both stations are in the same system so you don't' have to risk a gate jump. &nbsp;Remember to make the collateral worth MORE than the contents of the contract. &nbsp;I recommend a collateral of 500m as of September 21, 2010.  The Concord Tag's value is confirmed at 10 mil even.

Epic Arcs

General Notes

This Epic arc takes you into null security (0.0) space. This means that you will have to deal with bubbles and potentially bombs and should make sure you are familiar with how to avoid bubbles that are placed to trap people on gates. You will also need to be constantly spamming d-scan to check for people who are getting close to finding you so they can kill you.

Even if you are using an interceptor you should plan for how you will deal with losing your ship and pod, possibly multiple times. If you don't want to risk or can't fly T2 frigates the arc is easily completable in a cheaply fit destroyer with an empty clone.

Below are two fits that are known to work for completing the arc. The maulus fit will be very slow at completing certain missions, but is easier to avoid gatecamps in.

Completion rewards

Completing the arc will reward you with a Domination Target Painter, a 1-run Cynabal BPC (ME 15%, TE 6%), and a base (before social skills) 30% boost to your angel cartel faction standing. There is a minor (approx -2.5%) hit to your Minmatar republic faction standing as well.
