I prefer the arbi, it's a good boat that remains useful thanks to TD bonus even in decent sized gangs. ________

While the TD is useful, the raw damage of the Vexor is far more useful in a small gang. 400+dps with 38K+ buffer tank. Plus Vexor out-damages, out-tanks, is faster, more agile, locks farther & quicker, better sensor strength, and even has a larger cargohold. Arbi just can't compare.

Vex is the gank t1 drone boat and the arbi is the tding ew drone boat. Plus with lg slaves, hardwires and a good gang boost you can float both up to around 50k ehp.![Twisted Evil](/images/icon_twisted.gif)

Edited by: Veritaal on 29/04/2010 01:03:22 Vexor can fit a bigger tank (2 1600s is possible I think), plus it can fit guns.
Attaching turrets to an arbi is kinda LOL, but the tracking disruption is unbelievably awesome if used properly. I fit 2 TD's on just about all of my fits, maybe 3 if necessary. Scripted for optimal range disruption, a TD from an arbi is pretty crippling.
So, for straight up tank/spank, go Vexor. For support, fly an arbi.

I dont like Ships focused on drone damage. The vexor can do alot of turrent and drone damage! ****ing around with drones in a fight is boring as sh!t. kinda like the ishtar/Arbitrator/Gila that only realy excels in fleets imo or against ******s for the most part.
Not that you'll be engaging the best pvp'ers everyday (Cause you may engage a good pilot once out of 50 engagements).
The Curse, sentinel, and pilgrim have other things going for them. That compensates (For the lame, that is drone pvp).
Not saying the arbitrator is a bad ship though...

I'm discovering a similar thing about drone damage... its not as much fun. But at this point I have close to 4 mil sp in drones and i'd like to do some cruiser pvp with a friend. I know i'll die a lot, i just want to be in a ship that gives me the best shot of having fun anyway. Not sure if i'm looking for survivability or just something that takes people with me.

Edited by: Alsyth on 29/04/2010 01:32:35 Edited by: Alsyth on 29/04/2010 01:31:47 Drone damage doesn't appear chen you check your logs after a fight. That's sad.
For the OP : 1600mm small guns Vexor 1600mm small neuts Arbi are on par. Arbi have more dronebay, useful to carry 2 flights of lights (warrior/hob usually), 2 flights of med (Hammerheads/ECM, usually).
Other fits I don't really know. TD is cool. Vexor damage when gank fitted is cool.

Edited by: Darthewok on 29/04/2010 03:23:38 vexor (guns and tank fit) is useful no matter what sort of ships you meet arbi (TD fit) is very useful if you meet turret ships but not very useful if you meet missile/drone ships as the TDs are useless then
personally prefer vexor over the arbi if not sure what type of ships will be fighting as i know it will be useful regardless arbi only if i am sure i will be fighting a strong turret ship (eg. Geddon/Baddon) and want to TD its turret damage

i've been playing with fits for the vexor and looking around and it seems most of the pvp fits i've seen fit a 1600 mm plate and small blasters. I'm worried that even with an mwd i'll have trouble getting into effective range for the small blasters though.
why not 150 rails for solo pvp instead?

The small blasters are there in case some smartass frigate starts warp scrambling you. Most of the Vexor's REAL dps is dealt by drones (i.e. 3x Ogre II, 3x Garde IIs, or 5x Hammerhead IIs) _______________________

I'd advise fitting small ACs, or 2 small/2 med dual-ACs (will still fit with a 1600mm plate). Damage is similar but without the vulnerability to neuts.

Dunno, but you can take on quite a lot of stuff with a Vexor. ===

Thanks
The arbi is an e-war platform with decent dmg output - it's usually way better in gang situations, and for solo gives you means to out-last your opponent = range and ewar tank it along with decent EHP buffer and chew them slowly with your drones.
The Vexor is more aggressive, and it's approach is to out-gank the opponent with overwhelming for it's class DPS...just like the Thorax. The problem is that this requires both being in med blaster ranges = scram/web ranges. Gallente blaster boats commit to the fight more, and it's usually kill or be killed.
The Arbi is more flexible, and in scram/web situations even a single TD - though cannot guarantee win - can ruin another turret boat's dmg output if you range TD it and keep range at scam edge. Of course in gangs 2x TDs projecting out to lock-range - or even 3x if you have enough tacklers already - are way more powerful than the 200 dps advantage of the vexor at point blank...

Vexor is the better choice overall. Arbi gets honorable mention, but it's a slow killer and relies exclusively on drones for damage.
