I'm looking for some advice on ships that will mainly be used for missions(lvl2 currently and looking ahead to lvl3) and ratting while I build up a cash fund and skills. After trying out a few things I like fighting up close and fast with guns and drones. I would prefer my dmg to come from guns but I also like drones. My main boat is a Rupture right now but looking ahead it seems the Brutix would be more my style then the Cyclone(same with the respective BS). Is there any down side in switching to a Thorax as I try to save up enough for a BC? And is the Brutix better then the Cyclone for short range npc'ing? I also have Caladri cruiser 3 at the momment so not sure on the Ferox.
Any setups with actual cruiser size guns for the Gallente's would be great as most setups seem to use smaller guns and rely on drones for dmg. Thanks for any replies.

Thorax is defintly good switch over if you like guns+drones and up close. its exactly what you like.
Furthermore, your skills in minmatar cruiser wont be wasted, as once you have the cash, you could buy the Vigilant - faction thorax. it requires both gallente and minmatar cruiser skills to fly, gives fixed 25% bonus to dmg output, and have 4th slot which is very useful.
Vigilant with T1 dual 150mm rails can easily complete ANY lvl3 mission.
Lot of fun to fly, and pvp ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE

I would go for the rupture,to use a thorax with a close range setup you need a MWD,but in missions your gimped to not being able to use that and acs are alot like blaster in that their point blank weapons,and that rupture speed helps ALOT...But if you like drones more then relying on your guns go with the thorax.

Cyclone is good if you want to NPC against Angels, whereas getting the Brutix to tank all those incoming explosive torps is hard. And only the Cyclone can do explosive damage with its highslots. Neither of the BCs can really be described as "fast"
