Currently I fly a gank Thorax and am having a lot of success with it. I have a few Ferox kills, tons of cruisers, miners, haulers etc. So far so good. But I am hungry for a bit more power. I am thinking a Deimos would be ideal, but I don't feel like putting that kind of cash down. So I'm thinking a gank setup for a Brutix. My play style is to hit low sec systems fast, scan down people, kill and get out as fast as I can to find new targets.
After the patch, would a Brutix be good for this? Or are they still a bit too slow? I am concerned about getting caught at gate camps, my Rax can run them no problem. But I think a Brutix would be caught and limit me that way.

I would stick with your rax.
The Deimos is really a gang ship, and not something you solo in.
Brutix is a bit too slow for my liking, but that is just personal preference

I love the brutix, but it sounds like the rax is probably better for what you want to do. the brutix is a great ship, but I think a rax is a bit better if you're going solo.

Well due to the recent agility increase that bc's got and HP increase. I would say your safer in the brutix, you will definately hold gate guns a lot better. you can also fit a MWD with a Heavy Ion blaster II's setup, worrks really well.

Same as all the others have said: Brutix is sloooow. I go less than 1kms with an MWD on which depresses me, although the gank from 7x Heavy Ion IIs makes me weak at the knees.

looks like you love gank npcers in belts
while thorax still has a nice speed and agility bonus vs brutix , i think that the superior brutix firepower can give you the chance to pick bigger targets
imo use med ecm drones instead of combat one or a mix web and ecm drones they can boost your chance to win a fight or to avoid it if reinforcements arrives

Brutix all the way. The rax may be faster and so on, but the brutix can deal as much damage as a rax, while tanking like a BS ---

Can't agree with you more. If you're going to fly the Brutix and intend to engage larger targets then 5x med ecm drones are pretty much amazing. The med ecm drones also make cruisers and to a lesser extent BC a joke. 20 second window with Brutix firepower pretty much garantees a victory.
I personally am a fan of the single rep 4 slot tank setup with a ions and a couple electrons. If rigs ever come donw in price *crosses fingers* then I can see some excelent setups be available.

It may just be the Minmatar in me, but speed is so much more fun. Big slow ships make me sad. Stick with the Rax.
