Up to now I have been mining Kernite & Omber in .5ish systems using the following:
Acct #1 Miner: Vexor (@500k SP) Acct #2 Hauler/Guard: Moa/Badger/Osprey (@800k SP)...will be in a Ferox by today.
I am looking at the cash to be made from Hedbergite etc in lower sec systems and am wondering:
1. Will a Vexor with Heavy Drones & a Ferox be able to handle the NPC's? 2. What are good modules/fitting for the Ferox to deal with both NPC & player pirates?

i've solo mined in a vexor down to 0.1 with medium drones and a light tank
you need cruiser 2 to use Vexor you need drone 5 to use heavys thats 7 drones, the vexor drone bay only has space for 6 heavys(150/25=6) so you limit yourself to 6, or you add drone interface to 3(only like a day more) cruiser 2 = +2 drones 5 = +5 drone interface 3 = +3 10 drones controled at once(or cruiser 3, drone interface 2 and get the same)
now I recomend you carry 10 medium drones and 10 mining drone 1s

Edited by: Godeep Nlong on 30/10/2005 14:39:27 So the NPC rats are doable with medium drones?
Also, what a good setup on a Ferox to fight off player pirates?
I have Dones V on my miner toon & am starting to train drone interfacing.

I've done .3 in in my Vexor solo with only minor difficulties. Make sure you take out the frigs first, they're more a problem for your drones. Drone control is the key to doing it. I actually LIKE to get the rats to shoot at my drones. They're a lot harder to hit than I am. As soon as the rat scores a single hit, pull the drone back into the bay and relaunch it. It comes out with full shields.
You can also do all the tanking yourself and let the drones deal the damage, but my secondary ship skills kinda suck and I can't hold a tank in less than 0.5.

yes, i've gone as low as 0.1 with as few as 8 medium drones it only gets scary on big spawns(named cruiser + 2 * 110k cruisers + frigs), but thats where a 2nd person comes in handy

Keep an eye on local chat for any negative security status players and jump to a safespot if you see em.
The rats in 0.4 will be handled eeeeasily by a vexor and a ferox, even in mining config. 0.2 or 0.1 might be iffier due to low skills. -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled! |

NPCs are nothing, unless you're massively AFK at the time.
As for pirates - even if you fitted entirely for PvP you'd almost certainly lose 99% of the time. So just run if you get the chance, WCS and a light tank being your friends. ___
