The contents here are transcluded on Angel Sound and Smash and Grab

The gated pirate epic arc missions have special ship restrictions. On paper, any T1/T2 frigate or T1/T2/T3 destroyer will meet the mission restrictions.

An interceptor is a popular choice due to its immunity to warp bubbles. A destroyer has superior firepower and tank however, those setups placed a much greater demand on the pilot, and are inherently riskier to fly.

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

  • Use MWD to crash gate if you jump into a camp.
  • MWD will also help to burn long distances in missions.
  • Take advantage of your range if incoming DPS is too high.
  • When facing frigates you can split weapons to two groups to kill two frigates in single volley.
  • Downgrade gyrostabilizers to compact if CPU doesn't fit. Swap rigs for CPU rigs if it still won't fit.
  • Bring full set of different range ammo so you can kite in missions that have high dps.

  • Compared to an Ancillary Shield Booster/Tracking Computer fit, this fit exchanges DPS, range, signature radius, and burst healing for much more buffer and a longer lasting tank.
  • Use MWD to crash gate if you jump into a camp.
  • Take advantage of your range if incoming DPS is too high.
  • When facing frigates you can split weapons to two groups to kill two frigates in single volley.
  • Consider carrying a spare set of Autocannons for the final mission in Angel Cartel epic arc, as the frigate in that mission moves fast and occasionally carries a web that makes it hard for artillery to track well.
  • Swapping the Damage Control II for a Power Diagnostic System II offers marginally higher EHP/s at the expense of buffer. It also opens up enough CPU to fit either a T2 Gyrostabilizer or an Arbalest Compact Light Missile Launcher.
  • Swap the Damage Control II for a Power Diagnostic System II to get everything to fit. If there is still not enough CPU, then swap the Shield Extender to a Meta version.
  • Bring full set of different range ammo so you can kite in missions that have high dps.


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 Guristas arc a Mobile depot is required to refit due to low number of stations.

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.
