Hey all, I'm a 4m SP Gallente semi-noob who's been playing on and off since early summer. I'd like to move up to something a little more powerful than a Vexor, and am considering the Brutix. When is a good time skill-wise/experience-wise to move up? I struggle taking on medium and [fail when I take on] large rats in null-sec with my 3x250mm Railgun Is, so I've been working on (and am almost ready to use) the Railgun IIs with T2 ammo, which should help. I figure that if I move up to a larger ship, I can fit way more T2 guns and end the conflicts earlier.
Also, I am basically worthless when it comes to defending my corp from can-flippers during mining ops.. I'd like some pew pew to use as a deterrent.
As for drones, I only really have experience with Hammerhead Is, and I really need to build SP in this area, so that's the plan after the T2 Railguns. I'm planning on Drone Interfacing to 5, but that's a month of time I could put towards gunnery skills.
Thoughts, suggestions? I really don't have very many iskies (<40mil), so I'm hoping an upgrade will help me rat better, leading to more income, etc, etc...
Don't bother with DI V yet, IV will do for now. The damage boost is significant, but at your stage in the game there are other things to be learnt i.e. T2 medium and light scout drones.
For ratting, get a Myrmidon with a fit like...
[Myrmidon, Mission]
Medium Armor Repairer II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor EM Hardener II
Armor EM Hardener II
10MN Afterburner II
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II
200mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
Drone Link Augmentor I

[empty rig slot]
[empty rig slot]
Hammerhead II x5
Hobgoblin II x5
Depending on the rats you're shooting, you may need less tank. The fit above is max tank, really for L3 missions...For 0.0, depending on your armour tanking skills, you'll probably need just one repper, two of the resist mods, a damage control or EANM and the rest of the lows can be magnetic field stabilizers.
For PvP there are many fits to choose from...As a starting point, you could go for something simple and not too hard to fit:
[Myrmidon, Ions/Electrons]
Medium Armor Repairer II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Damage Control II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
10MN MicroWarpdrive I
Warp Scrambler II
X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Cap Booster 800
Heavy Ion Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Ion Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Ion Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Electron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Electron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Electron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
[empty rig slot]
[empty rig slot]
[empty rig slot]
Ogre II x2
Hammerhead II x2
Hobgoblin II x1
If you don't have any of the T2 mods, use best named till you get the skills for T2. Change the ratio of Electrons:Ions depending on your fitting skills. If you want to rig, use 2x auxiliary nano pumps and 1x nanobot accelerator.
Good luck!
Edit: As for when to upgrade, I'd say whenever you want. I first got into a Myrmidon with less SP than you and I don't regret doing so...Go for it whenever you feel ready.
