Summary
This Force Recon is the 'U-Boat' of EVE. Able to select, stalk, and engage its targets at will without them knowing until too late, it is the ultimate solo recon if you seek a slow and deliberate way of delivering death.
The Pilgrim and Curse share the neut amount bonus together with the TD and Drone bonus, but the neut range bonus is dropped in favour of the Force recon covert ops cloak bonus. This leaves the ship designed to get in close, demolish the cap of its opponent, and then go to work with its drones while the TD mitigates damage from turret ships. The short range of the Pilgrim's neuts means that once engaged the ship is usually committed.
There are variations of Pilgrim fits out there but much less variation than with the Sentinel or Curse. Generally the fitting will follow roles like the Covert Cyno / Scout role, Solo PvP, Probing Pilgrim etc. There is no point nano/shield fitting a Pilgrim as your cloak and target selection are the key to survivability rather than speed and ability to control range; in a solo or skirmish role you shouldn't decloak until you are in web and scram range of a ship you know you can defeat or disable. There is very little reason to use a Pilgrim over a Curse in normal gang support.

- A fit for solo hunting. Cloak up, approach your target, then uncloak, scram and web. You then use your drones for dps and rely on your cap warfare and tracking disruptor modules to stay alive.
- Can also be used at range as an (expansive) ewar boat, the tracking disruptor range being 72 + 36 km and the ship being able to target to 130 km.
- With all skills at V and before bonuses, this ship has 31 K EHP, flies at 452 m/s (580 m/s with overheat) and align in 12.7 s with afterburner on (9.4 s off).
- Damage caries between 219 dps with Hobgoblins and 350 with Hammerhead. Will drain 92 cap units per second.
- The second tracking disruptor could be switched to a cap booster, allowing to use a 3rd unstable power fluctuator instead of the energy vampire and increasing cap drain to 120 cap units per second

- This fit racked me a lot of kills. It is basically a heavy tackler, if you can get in range. One way to achieve that is to use the probe launcher. You won't catch non-static ships with this fit. Probing and warping just takes too long. This ship lets you hold pretty nearly every turret ship, if (big IF) you manage to get scram and web on it. The current kiting meta made this pretty hard but it can still in some situations. The neuts are nice to have but play a role only in prolonged fights against active local or remote reps. This fit has about 44k EHP.
Tactics
When you find an appropriate target, ram his ship with yours to decloak. The bump will prevent him from warping off in the time it takes to lock and point him.
