xOm3gAx	Posted - 2004.12.15 08:38:00 - [31] Originally by: BigJim Beef Originally by: Aion Amarra Hm. Does a Ferox with 5 Launchers/2 Rails deal more damage than a Caracal? I've got mediocre skills in Lasers and Missiles and Im thinking about getting a Ferox, but on the other hand I don't like its bonuses... I'm thinking about skilling to medium Hybrids now, but is it worth it? Or should I stay with the caracal? Hmm, caracal probably does more damage, although you're limited to 1 missile type. Ferox just has like 3 times the shield and, with BC trained up and a few hardeners, almost assault-ship-like resists. Come on, what's not to like about 5% per lvl to all shield resist? the only caracal class ship that can touch the damage level is actually the Cerberus but a normal caracal doesnt come very close... depending on your actual skill levels anyway... for me a ferox does far more damage ;) ----------------- Decloaks and starts blasting your sig Applesauce Biotch ~~~My Banner got nerfed~~~ But I still love the mods anyway Succumb to your nightmares Darkness shall embrace you

Loka	Posted - 2004.12.15 08:55:00 - [33] The ferox with its shieldres bonis are more the tanker in a pvp group arent they? If you want to do EW go for BB. Thats my personal opinion. _____________________________________ Dead or Alive

ZelRox	Posted - 2004.12.15 09:30:00 - [37] 5 heavy launchers 2x lifs, 2x 20km , 1 web 4x pdu Ferox can be used as eather overgrown caracal, or overgrown bb. And it does both things quite well actually But soon teh nurf will be here, and the setup will have to adapt. ---------------------- I wanna tuc tuc ..

magickangaroo	Posted - 2004.12.29 07:40:00 - [41] i get why people use lauchers for pvp or inded for npc if u aitn got good skills in guns. but i hunt conquistators (1 mil) using 5 250's 5 of them rip thru alot faster than 5 heavy lauchers. so id use the rails give it a shot may suprise u... mgk

Lagar	Posted - 2004.12.29 10:10:00 - [45] ferox does alittle less damege with the missiles but it has twice shield, armor and structure as the caracal.

E'rdeh	Posted - 2004.12.29 13:04:00 - [47] first of all - imo its kinda pointless to ask for a "good pvp setup" . i bet there are something like 10 different setups for Ferox for 10 different situations. also, one thing that caught my eye was that ever1 is fitting heavy launchers. i belive this is not what this ship is ment for. sure, if youre all alone in the space and facing a slow BB, u scramble and missile him to death. but now, lets face some reality - pvp is usually about long-hours gatecamp OR fleetbattles. if youre looking for solo-fun, quit this thread and buy a ceptor. for gatecamp - 5 meds! 5! unlimited cpu! SENSOR BOOSTERS dudes! cmon, u have like 3/4 of a sec to shoot anyone, whats all this **** about missile launchers then, m8s? fleet setups - i'd prolly try something from teh EW section. ferox does not make any more damage than any other cruiser. do any of u fit a cruiser for dealing heavy solo damage? i guess not.. so make yourself useful, and make yourself EW-funky. recently, i have discovered a very special role for my feroxie - know all those ppl who check out gates with their lil' nasty eggs? well.. my Ferox kills any egg in about 0.8 sec from up to 80km :) now this is fun! works on smaller frigs and shuttles aswell.. --

Von Korona	Posted - 2005.01.02 22:49:00 - [49] I got a ferox becasue I thought it would make a nice cheap fleet ship, but atm I'm using it when I want to run a mission. BB is way more useful for a fleet in my opinion and they are nothing to replace. I have a cruise launcher though which makes it pretty hot against pretty much everyhting Then I use 2 heavy launchers 2 assault launchers 2 dual 150 railguns med slots I use a med CL5, heat and em deflector screens, a sheild boost amp, and a cap recharger low slots contain power diags and a reactor control Offensivly this deals a big load of damage, while defensivly I have no problem wading through l3 missions. In a fleet battle it's tank is worthless but can be run almost non stop and will protect you well from anything smaller than a BC. The mix of weaponry will work against most ships, the only non BS problem I can see are interceptors, but if you are worred about them swap the cap recharger for a webber and fit a med nos or something.
Merv DeGriff	Posted - 2005.01.03 09:58:00 - [50] Ferox is a rail gun platform and a shield tanker... simple as pie. I use a 4:3 ratio for the guns since when doing level 4's with my corp mates we sometimes get NPC's in close. Missles don't give a #@!% about tracking. But the rails just outdamage the missles on this ship. If you want a 5 launcher config, may as well use a caracal. It has the bonus's for missles. One thing people seem to forget is that a ship like this can toss urainium to 45k with good skills on tech1 guns. Tech 2's just make it reach out even farther with good damage ammo. The cap bonus on the stuff is just gravy on top of it all. On hybrids the +10% optimal range means more than just kiting things. --------------------- Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldy they rode and well, Into the jaws of death, Into the mouth of Hell.
Ponty	Posted - 2005.01.03 18:04:00 - [51] Edited by: Ponty on 03/01/2005 19:21:13 Think I can spam my setup here too then: 5x 'malkuth' heavy launchers 2x 250 mm rails 2x active hardeners -> depends on what faction you're fighting 1x large shield booster II 1x shield boost amplifier 1x medium cap booster -> I usually put some 400's in it, nice for cargo and reload 2x ballistics 1x gyrostabilizer i --> linear flux stabilizer, or something similar ofcourse (d0h!) 1x co-processor Orbiting the enemy at the optimal range for the railguns(mostly antimatter @ ~20km), and tank the hell out of 'm :) I like to make as much as damage as possible, so that's why there are 3 damage mods in the lows.

Karrde CZ	Posted - 2005.01.03 19:16:00 - [53] Edited by: Karrde CZ on 03/01/2005 19:17:04 my last ferox i had the something like high: 5x named 250s 2x malkuth hml med: sig booster, tracking comp, kn+em+th hards low: hmmm.... can't remember. possibly a hyb dmg mod, and a ball.ctrl. edit: or maybe RCUs anyways, when I tried the setup, i had optR of 25km! that was with anti-matter. I was kinda surprised... and consequently overconfident. I faced a 1x 110k + 5x 30k spawn from 30-ish km. Pwned the cruiser in seconds. Didn't kill a single of those 5 frigates and they closed in to 1-2k within seconds. Had 9 light drones out to fight them. Needless to say, got webbed, scrambled, pwdned. Lost all named sh1t. I dunno why those 9 light drones didn't kill a single frigate. On my view they were all over it. oh well... anyone notice the insurance on the Feroxes is bullshti? 24m for max insurance. CCP needs to fix that. .............................. 2005.03.23 05:41:55combatYour 720mm Howitzer Artillery II perfectly strikes Mercenary Fighter, wrecking for 879.0 damage.

Be Aware :p.
Femlin Tilith	Posted - 2005.01.05 02:54:00 - [56] Just picked up a Ferox in a trade. My gunnery skills are much higher than my missile skills so I think I'll go with 5 hybrids and 2 launchers. I'm just doing level 3 missions along with a friend in a Geddon. What can I do to really step it up with this thing and sort of future-proof it against level 4 missions? Here's my current setup, not complete which is why it looks kind of meager... HIGH- 3 anode heavy neutron (worst range ever!) loaded with plutonium charges 2 malkuth heavies with thunderbolts loaded MED- 2 braced multispectral shield hardeners, not sure which specific hardeners to use 1 large shield booster LOW- 1 Ballistic Control System 2 Magnetic Vortex Any suggestions for this thing? Should I be using blasters or rails for npc missions? Thanks for the input!
Femlin Tilith	Posted - 2005.01.05 19:51:00 - [57] Also, if I'm using 3 launchers and 4 rails, what kind of missiles should I put in the launchers? I'm doing amarr navy missions.
Eternal Light	Posted - 2005.01.06 02:19:00 - [58] i use 5 heavy launcher and 2 250mm proto : i use 1 em missile, 2 thermal and 2 kinetic. 250mm proto i use thorium (42km optimal range bc lvl4) 1 ab 10mn II, 2 hardener (em & thermal), 1 amplifier 32.5% kinetic (all shield resistance 66%), 1 med shield booster II 3 PDU, 1 balistic control easy to mission lvl3 to use this fit
