Well I was thinking of doing this for the simple reason that I don't have Rail skills yet (this vexor i'm training up is on a Minmatar toon) and the thing I'm wondering is this:
Most of the time small rails get put on vexors for their tracking and so they have "some" damage of their own, regardless of drones.
Now Blasters for instance demand you be pretty up close to do their mojo, rails are okish when it comes to range but their tracking is so-so.
So i thought of putting small autocannons on my vexor because:
They don't use cap
They have better range then blasters
Track better then rails
Also I have small autocannon specc V so... that does help
So what are your thoughts/suggestions on this? Good idea / Bad idea? I'm just theorycrafting here so..

We don't know, because you never mentioned what you're going to use the ship for.

Forgot to mention an imporant factor... What are you going to do with it?
For PvE (level 2 missions) you can easily fit Medium Rails (which are Bonused) + a decent tank.
For PvP, best Vexor setups are plated ones anyway and your capacitor will be enough for using the small blasters that can fit with the remaining PG.
Generally I do not like the idea. However you should explain what you want to use it for. Perhaps then I will see your point :)

I use lasers, so I never need to bother for ammo, and drones is main weapon anyway :)

Don't listen to the people above, Azermy. Try it. You will win. Autocannons are much better for pvp in vexor/ishtar.

You're replacing one unbonused gun for another you have better skills for.
Sounds like an idea.

Again... PVE or PVP?
I've had good results putting a rack of T2 220s on a plated PVP Vexor setup to combat cap warfare (i.e. fighting a Curse/Pilgrim).
Otherwise, just use the bonused hybrids...

Sorry, I did mention to say, PVP
Setup i'm contemplating on using is mids:
1x 10 MN MWD
1x Warp Disruptor II (Might switch to a scram since I'll need to be fairly close to use the Web anyways)
1x Webifier II
Lows:
EANM II
1x 1600mm Tungsten plate
1x Small armor rep
1x Damage Control II
High's:
1x small NEUT
1x Drone link augmentor
3x Autocannon. I think I'm not going to have enough grid for 220mm Vulcan II's so I'll see what I put in there

it works well, also very nice on a myrmidon but it really works best with t2 guns and barrage.
i'd saty with 24km point, you need to be able to hold people, scrams need a much closer warp in
falloff rigs are cheap too and should be considered.

Skip that Drone Link augmentor.
Since you are going to use small guns (unbonused anyway), you can pick autocannons. However keep in mind that Light Neutrons II with Void do 147.6 DPS, while 200mm Autocannons II with Hail do 113.6 and the difference on how long you can run everything but the MWD is a few seconds.
Indeed, you can use Barrage to get a longer range and have your capacitor last for 1 more minute but the damage is really low (89.3) and at that point you could consider using small railguns as well (better damage under 10kms than ACs with barrage will get and can reach out to over 35kms).
Keep in mind that turret's tracking on a close range PvP Vexor is generally not an issue. I'd love to see any Assault Frigate/close range Intie into your web range and with 5 tech 2 light Drones on it.
Currently I am thinking about fitting my Vexor in a way similar to my Thorax. 1600mm Plate, Reactor Control, DCU, EANM, AB II, Web II, Disruptor II (Scrambler II if not soloing), 4 Medium Electrons II, small energy vampire or neut. The Damage will be extreme for a Cruiser, 527 DPS with maxxed skills and the tank is ok (23k EHP). The main disadvantage is the Afterburner but if I manage to get close, this thing will be able to take down some turret Battleships. :P
