Laees	Posted - 2010.09.06 05:13:00 - [1] I am about to start the Minmatar Epic Arc and was wondering which ship would be good to use. I can only fly up to BS T2 fitted and some T2 frigs. Also if you could post a good fit for the ship, it'll be appreciated. Thanks
DeBingJos Minmatar Mansion of maniacal experiments Outer Heaven	Posted - 2010.09.06 06:57:00 - [2] I did it in my Loki without much problems. However I think your tank is a bit light with the huge sig a maelstrom has. (It is a mael right?) If you can fly a Strategic cruiser I definitely recommend it. Otherwise try to fit some complex tank modules, they are well worth their price.
Laees	Posted - 2010.09.06 07:00:00 - [3] Sorry about that, yeah it is a Maelstrom. I can't fly a Strategic cruiser yet so I think my best bet would be to go for complex mods for the tank. Any other Minnie ship that wont have much problems?

Mael tanks well, but so does the typhoon or the fleet phoon. If you are not sure, bring some friends, maybe with RR. This will solve all your problems at once. I see you are in an NPC-corp............ Contact me if you need help in the arc. But really, find a good corp.

Light tank on a Mael? I don't think such a concept exists. How much would you need? Semi-planning on doing the Arc soon myself, do have access to a Loki though.

A small shield booster would be a light tank, therefore such a concept does exist.

The mael does not have a light tank for Lv4's however I found it very hard in the arc to agro only small groups at once. When I got agro it was usually the whole room. Combine this with quite a few scramblers/webbers and a LOT of incomming dps, I doubt the high burst tank of the mael can tank this without a lot of cap-boosters. Anyway, try it in the mael and keep us up to date on the results. Edit for spelling...
Asarus Atreyu The Kairos Syndicate Transmission Lost	Posted - 2010.09.06 14:44:00 - [8] I used a nightmare, and needed help despite the semi-faction fit. I have a fairly low number of sps though. With two battleships it's typically pretty easy, just make sure you kill scrambling frigates first. These guys orbit REALLY close too. ---------------------- Interested in a change?

Ak'hon	Posted - 2010.09.06 18:14:00 - [9] I did this in mael about 4 months ago so can't remember everything, not with shining fit (had about 7m sp back then) and I didn't have big problems with it. Did couple getaway jumps after succesfully pulling everything what moved in mission pocket. But if I remember correctly, everything hard hitting was close ranged so I would recommend using artys. My fit was something like this High 8x 1200mm 'scouts' Medium shieldboost amplifier 2x specific hardeners Large capacitor booster Large CS-L Emergency Shield Overload Low DCU tracking enhanter 3x gyro II Rigs 3x CCC

Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.09.07 07:31:00 - [11] The Minmatar epic arc is certainly not the most difficult of the lot. I think there is one "ambush mission" where mercenary commanders and wingmen get dropped on your head making things very hot very quickly. -- Mr. Science & Trade Institute - EVE Lorebook - Mysteries of W-space
Moonmonkey Amarr Orange Clover	Posted - 2010.09.13 22:01:00 - [12] Remember to use an EM hardener as the Angle BS rats (1m bounty+) in the epic arc tend to do a bit of EM damage. The Epic Arc tends to do more damage that your average level 4 mission, fatter rats. 8x800mm Heavy "Scout" Repeating Artillery I Large Shield Booster II Shield Boost Amplifier II EM hardener II Explosive hardener II Invulnerability Field II 100mn AB II or another invulnerability field Damage Control II Gyrostabilizer II x2 Tracking Enhancer II x2 Rigs Large Projectile Ambit Extension I ccc ccc
