I have been racking my brain for a good use for my ARC, and I got it. Its going to be my gunboat killer. It's well known that a turreted ship makes pathed gunboats look stupid, but I realized that the ARC will be perfect for dealing with those nasty mission AI gunboats too. A good pilot can draw its aggro, zip ahead of it, match speed, then drop speed until he's around 550m in front and matched on the run. Then the gunners can have fun. I'll have to find someone to test this one out with me, but I look forward to at least having one application for this pretty little ship, even though im a big Ywing fan.

L10 with over 4k plus WO3 and effs in the high 7xx and 8xx, and Shield Adjust Rear-Extreme would help quite a bit. Slap a nice armor plate on the ass and let the good times roll.
If you equip a chaff launcher, chances are the damn thing would be near dead by the time the mag ran out.

Shield Adjust can be great on the front for Deep Space PvP, but in other situations it can be self destructive.
If even the SLIGHTEST amount of damage from something this Tier manages to hit the front of the ship if you have this running on the rear, you'll be gone in an instant.
