The arbitrator is pretty weak as far as defence goes, but I was wondering if it would be possible to 'speed tank' an Arbitrator, considering the bonus it gets to tracking disruption (With tracking scripts in a tech I unnamed and cruisers only to 3, it has a 40% tracking debuff).
Though this is probably an incredibly stupid idea, I'd like the input of more experienced pilots. If it can't be speed tanked, how should I fit it?

Anyway
I've been playing around with this maybe.

Gets at least 10 minutes of cap with the MWD off so you should be all right.
I wouldn't speed tank it; it's already fast enough as a cruiser to keep range on battlecruisers and the TDs will pretty much take care of whatever guns (range scripts are more effective imho). Arbitrators aren't exactly fast ships anyway.

Perhaps replace the missile launcher with a drone link aug: Just to ensure I have some damage beyond 45km.

Or you could train your drone skills higher, 60km control range with ewar drone op 5.

Worth pointing out that the heavy missiles will go out to 70km ish :P
I have it there because I like DPS and it leaves the least amount of CPU and grid free that I could find, and because HAMs dont have enough range. The high slots on an arbitrator are pretty flexible anyway, you could downgrade to small guns and upgrade the plate to 1600mm or something if you were so inclined.

I fit mine with nos/neuts in the highs, 1600mm plate and tank in lows, and standard issue mids.
