| On paper, any of the following frigate-class or destroyer-class ships will meet the mission restrictions:
| |
| * [[Assault Frigate]]
| |
| * [[Command Destroyer]]
| |
| * [[Corvette]]
| |
| * [[Covert Ops]]
| |
| * [[Destroyer]]
| |
| * [[Electronic Attack Ship]]
| |
| * [[Expedition Frigate]]
| |
| * [[Frigate]]
| |
| * [[Interceptor]]
| |
| * [[Interdictor]]
| |
| * [[Logistics Frigate]]
| |
| * [[Shuttle]]
| |
| * [[Stealth Bomber]]
| |
| * [[Tactical Destroyer]]
| |
| | |
| An interceptor is the most popular choice due to its immunity to warp bubbles. Prior to the Rubicon expansion in 2014, many pilots preferred a cloak-fit destroyer, and ran this arc successfully with those fits. However, those setups placed a much greater demand on the pilot, and were inherently riskier to fly. It can still be done, but it is not recommended. With the right skills, the Interceptor below can be fit with Inertial Stabilizer II (x2) to reach a sub-2ms align time.

| | |
| Many of the NPCs hit hard and move fast, so ships will need a decent tank, good propulsion, and most likely a web -- the last item is especially important if you're flying a close-range setup such as hybrid blasters.

It also opens up enough CPU to fit either a T2 Gyrostabilizer or an Arbalest Compact Light Missile Launcher.</li><li>Swap the Damage Control II for a Power Diagnostic System II to get everything to fit.

| Regardless of the chosen ship and fitting, pilots should carry the following items in their cargo hold:
| |
| * Nanite Repair Paste or Cap Booster chargers (if the fit requires them)
| |
| * Nanofibers
| |
| * Warp Core Stabilizers
| |
| * Damage modifiers (Ballistic Controls, Magnetic Field Stabilizers, etc.)
| |
| * Warp Disruptor/Scrambler
| |
| | |
| For some missions pilots may feel the need to swap out agility for tank, or vice versa. While traveling home with loot, warp stabilizers may provide some peace of mind. For pilots who are supremely confident in their piloting skills and don't mind the risk, there are fights to be had in Curse, so those pilots may wish to bring a warp scrambler/disruptor. However, '''PVP is strongly discouraged during this arc. Losing a mission item will result in failure, and pilots must wait three months to start the arc over again.'''
