5x modal heavy neutron blasters 1x mwd 1x web 1x warp scrambler/other 4-5x damage mods if the CPU is enough Something like that?

Wow you clearly gave that a lot of thought. (not ment as a flame or anything, but 5 neutrons take 3 RCUs too fit so it's quite ovbiously not a good way to go about it )
start of with 1 damage mod, 1 mwd, 1 webber 1 scrambler. 1 armour repairer, then try working with the various blasters too fit as many of the heavy grid eaters as possible but without fitting any grid mods and while using all 5 turret slots, after that it all depends on how much cpu you got left, a relay would be nice, armour hardners as well, but since you're going for maximum damage another damage mod might be prefered. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Sheer damage output over survivability. I don't want to get a thorax or sit calculating for 15 minutes to find out how much it fits, but 5 blasters, MWD/web/warp disruptor, as many damage mods as possible rest cap relays... Doesn't get much easier and it works, what more should I say?

I really like the thorax. If I remember correctly, I was able to do this setup:
5x modal ion blasters 1 10mn MWD 1 webifier 1 warp scrambler
fill low slots with damage mods and/or co-processors / power diags / RCUs as needed.
That's for sheer destruction power but I would not recommend as NPC hunting setup or anything . . . I have a different setup for that:
2x 150mm rails OR heavy blasters 3x 250mm rails 1x medium shield booster 1x EM ward 1x thermal ward 5x power diags (or co-processors / RCUs / CPRs as needed or desired)

If u want a blaster thorax try this:
Hi: 5x heavy ion blaster (named if u can get them) [i allways use ion blaster cause they r easier to fit than neutrons]
Med: NPC-Hunting 1x med SB 2x Hardener or PvP 1x med SB 1x 10mn MWD 1x Hardener
Low: as many cpu/reactor control etc as u need the rest cap power realays
allways have 8x heavy drones with u it¦s the big strengh of the thorax
but u should try out:
Hi: 5x 250mm rail (named if u can get)
Med:
1x med SB 1x 10mn AB 1x Sensor Booster
Low: as many cpu/reactor control etc as u need the rest cap power realays
and dont forget the drones!
this setup ist good for PvP and NPC-hunting in 1v1 it rips most cruisers apart in a min or two
May you live in interresting times. |

3 Anode Nuetron Particle Cannon I's (6.49152x dmg mod + 3.97 sec ROF) + 2 Modal Ion Particle Accelerator I's (5.4432x dmg mod + 3.40 sec ROF).
1 warp-jammer, 1 mwd, 1 webbifier.
5 PDU's.
You can get 500+ wreckings with these easily and the guns fire really quick. Combine that with drones and you're set - I helped take down a Megathron with the above setup and I had half it's shields down before my mate in a BS locked it
Megathron died before it's drones could kill me.

4 anode neutron blasters, med beam laser small, anti matter ammo, scrambler, web, pator heavy drones, mwd (if you have the cpu) and as many dmg mods as you can fit.
Going with good named with everything lowers the cpu enough that it all can fit and lvl 5 elect and enginering.

you need cap relays or PDUs to make the blaster thorax work, or else you won't have enough cap to shoot the guns once you MWD to your target.
Use this: 2 anode nuetron, 3 anode ions medium cl5 SB, warp jammer, mwd 5 relays or 5 pdus.

Quote: get a battleship
Now there is an enlightend comment... Sorry dude but come on, I realize that everyone seems to be in battleships these days. However there are some of us who rather fly crusiers and have a great time in them, then sit in a battleship. Cruisers are WAY! cheaper to replace, faster, and honestly give a much better "edge of the chair" fighting experience (IMO). Personally I love the Thorax, great ship... with the right skills a real damage dealer, and an absloute blast to fly (no pun intended..)

Mine:
High: 2 Neutron Blasters, 3 Ion blasters (antimatter of course) Med: 1 Medium shield booster, 1 Warp jammer (or what ever else) and 1 MWD Low: 5 PDUs

I've done some more messing around with the different options and there are 2 setups that are particulairly interesting, 1 using shields as defense and 1 more concerned with armour:
Variant A; High: 1x Neutron 4x ION Med : 1x MWD 1x Med Shield booster 1x scrambler Low : 4x PDS 1x Magnetic Field The advantage of this setup is the slightly higher DOT ( almost irrelevant ) but mainly the increased cap/cap recharge for the mwd, disadvantage is that a shield booster takes more cap then a armour repairer and the lack of a webifier.
Variant B; High: 4x ION 1x Electron Med : 1x MWD 1x webifier 1x scrambler Low : 1x Med Armor repairer 2x PDS, 1x RCU 1x magnetic field Main advantage of this setup is the webifier and the reduced cap need for defense too balance out the removal of the 2 PDS but you will run into cap trouble faster then variant A if you need to travel a long way too your target.
Quick note: a blaster setup without a magnetic field ( loot tech2 whatever ) is not even worth the time reading. the difference in damage between neutrons and ions is extremely small and fitting a RCU instead of a magnetic field to cram a neutron in there is about the worst way too gimp a blaster boat there is.

High
3 * Neutron Blasters w/AM 2 * 150MM Rails w/ Thorium
Medium
Webifier MWD Med Shield Booster
Low
3-4 * Cap Relays 1-2 * Whatever you want, depends on the situation. I prefer a warp stabiliser, or maybe some ECCM. Maybe even some ODs to get to the target faster, although I have never tried this and it may not be the best idea in the world...
Drones
8 * Ogres
This set-up is designed with the idea that the 150MMs are a backup, whilst the high number of cap relays keep you going if you have to use a lot of MWD and/or shield boosters. I prefer Neutrons to Ions because to match 3*Neutrons in pure damage, you need around 5*Ions, and that leaves you with knifefights as the only option, and I never like being out of options.

Sometimes you wonder where people get their information from.
1) The damage mod/ROF for medium blasters before skills: Neutron 0.667 Ion 0.625 Electron 0.583
So NO it doesn't take 5 ions to do the damage of 3 Neutrons, and I really don't get where you get that idea from.
2) Fit a damage mod, fit a damage mod, fit a damage mod fit a damage mod, a blaster boat without a damage mod is useless. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Easy pet, just stating from my own personal experience. Sure the numbers don't add up, but numbers are numbers and with statistics you can prove anything. From my own (rather-long) Thorax-flying career, I find that using 3*Neutrons does much pretty much the same damage, but frees up your lows for things other than RCUs and PDUs.

Ions also fire faster than neutrons, I need to start checking out how my thoraxblaster will be..
