I usually used a triple WCS, tanked Epithal to collect a couple hundred million ISK worth of PI when I was in null. I allowed for the occasional loss in my plans (not that any loss happened).

3 warp core stabs against 1 point and 1 scram (so 3 pts) is what I usually fit. Learn the mwd cloak trick and avoid nullsec (bubbles). Also donât collect while known pirates are in system. Or do. Itâs up to you how much risk you want to take.

The biggest problem of Epithal is the name. Please change it, because if anyone see âEpithalâ on D-Scan, he camps the POCO and no MWD/Cloak trick will save you at the moment you lands at the POCOâŚ
I suggest CCP will make Epithal to be visible on D-Scan with some random name. That name will change itself every week. I think it can start with âZIRNITRAâ, for example. No one will be interested in tracking that ugly ship and get it on his killboard (0 ships killed atm).

That makes that ship a nice cheap bait⌠yumâŚ
When I say âsufficientâ I mean 3 or 4 stabs.*
As I said, I can fit 3 or 4 stabs, a cloak + MWD, hyperspatials and some shield tank on my Epithal.
3 stabs would allow me to get away from someone with point + scram fit. Double scram or point + faction scram would still get me, but youâre never completely safe.
You could fit a 4th warp core stab, but I feel like that addition will allow you to survive only some very specific situations, so I usually equip something there to make me align faster. Up to you really.
To come back to âsufficient safetyâ, youâre never 100% safe in EVE. Even with all 4 lows fit with warp stabs youâll get caught by infinipoint from a Hictors or bubbles from Dictors, multiple scrams from bombers and whatnot.
Its a perfectly adequate little ship for all it costs and what it does, it doesnât need buffs.
Add racial variants of the Gallente haulers to the other factions, and not just Minnies bloody ammo wagon!
Youâre not forced.
