Gah, you made me fire up the ship fitting tool and try this out:
High:
1x Cruise Launcher
2x Heavy Launchers
2x Assault Launchers
2x Small Beam Laser
Medium:
10MN AB II
Shield Recharger II
3x Active Omni Hardener (anyone know if these stack?)
Low:
1x Reactor Control Unit
3x Ballistic Control Unit
ex P-TMC
If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.

Yes the omni's stack, but also get the penalty as ususal. I'd say you should replace them with 3 active hardners

those who uses 2 large shield exp t2 why dont u use 1 large shield t2 and a shield boost amplifier?
Takes alot less cpu and power..

My Set-up:
Hi Slots: 4x 250 Tech II Rails(AM & IRD), 3x XR-3200 Heavy Missile Launchers
Mid Slots: Large Tech II Shield booster, Shield Amp, 2x Tech II Cap Recharger, Large Peroxide Capacitor Power Cell
Low Slots: 3 Recator Control Units II, Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Never was a big fan of missile's, guns are more inline with my need of an instant gratification damage...

There's only one mission that I couldn't do in a battlecruiser. Infact I lost my Ferox yesterday to it. I can't remember off hand which one it was. Some merc mission. But normally I can run every mod forever while gunning down my enemies. But 99.9% of my skills maxed out.
I've found that the Caldari Navy has some decent level of difficulty in their agent missions.

I have figured out that most of the posted setups miss a good Cap recharge.
I have found a very good setup with low cap recharge.
I you use this setup plz post some feedback of how it works.
High:
5 Malkuth heavies
2 Medium Dimishing
Med:
1 Large Shield Booster t2
1 Shield boost Amplifier (which gives you a total of 320 boost from your shield booster)
3 Shield resistance (Em,thermal,kinetic, depends on what enemys
Low:
1 Capacitator Power Relay
1 Capacitator Flux Coil
2 PDU
Even if I only have 1.5 mils skill points I get a Cap Recharge of 172sec. This works exellent and with lvl 3 Extra Vargazza and Silence the Info = No Problemo!
Try it out and post how it works for you.

Your flux coil reduces your overall cap and the power relay decreases shield boosting (what your using your cap to do) dump those for PDUs and/or damage mods

If I do I ruin my whole cap, and the only cap relay and flux coil makes so much better cap recharge and the fewer total cap + like 20 less shield boosting doesn't matter.
With the shield boost amplifier I get a shield boost from my large shield booster |

Personally I've gone for the following:
High
5x'Arbalest' Heavy Launcher
2x250mm Prototype Rail
Mid
1xLarge C5-L Shield Booster
1xShield Boost AMP
1xAfterburner/Microwarpdrive
2xShield Hardeners
Low
4xPDU 2s

After scrolling through the rest of the setups I thought I'd post mine.
Hi:
4x 250 named rails (Proto if you can afford them)
2x Heavy named (XR3200 all I can afford atm)
1x Arbalest Assault launcher (defenders/light missiles)
Mid:
1x Afterburner II
1x Large Shield Booster II
1x Webber
1x Passive Hardener (rat specific)
1x Active Hardener (rat specific)
Low:
2x PDU II (not needed for grid, but the shield and recharge bonuses are very nice)
2x Magnetic Stabilizer II
This is designed to fix the one problem I had been having with the Railox - namely the problem of getting reamed by intercepters. For intercepters, swap defenders for light missiles and you have 3 missiles hitting the inties, no matter how fast so long as you have the webber running.
I consider a missile slot for the assault launcher GREAT defense with defenders- you never have to stop to reload like the rocket launchers and there are too many missions where you see waves of missiles hitting you to absorb them with shield boosting.
This setup can run forever firing all weapons and with its one active hardener running with occasional shield boosting.
I really can't ask for too much more from this ship aside from me finishing up my skills to get the top shield/resistance bonuses.

Great for some of the harder Deadspace L3 missions.
High's
2x 250mm Proto Gauss with either antimatter or iridium
5x Arbalist Heavy's with 2x EM, 1x Thermal, 2x Kinetic missiles.
Medium's
1x T2 Large Shield Booster
1x Shield Amp
1x Thermal Hardner
1x Kinetic Hardner
1x T2 10mn AB
Low's
3x T2 PDU's
1x BCS
Works very well for me, only trouble been its a bit slow.
My exact setup, jus i use 1 extra hardener as oppose to the boost amp :S, DG 40% passive ones 4tw

This works well for me
Hi:
5x 250mm Prototype Rail Guns, 2x SV-2000 Assault Launchers
Mid:
1x T2 Med Shield Booster, 1x T2 Cap recharger, 3x Hardeners(usually 1 EM, 1 Kinetic, and 1 Thermal but can swap out as I see fit)
Low:
3x Mag Field Stab II, 1x PDU
It can run 2 of the hardeners and guns forever, and boost shield whenever you need to.

Okay, here is my set-up that has worked wonders...I can easily shield tank every lvl3 mission out there. My record is 1 hour 20 minutes solo for Angel Extravaganza...
Highs:
5 x heavy missile launchers (using 1 arbalest and 4 xr-1000
2 x 200mm rails (1 scout and 1 proto)
Mids:
1 x large shield booster II
1 x large shield extender
2 x shield hardners (kinetic and thermal) * will add an EM for angel extravaganza missions
1 x 10mn ab (will take out for angel extravaganza missions)
Lows:
1 x co-processor II
2 x pdu II
1 x ballistic control
Drones:
4 medium and 2 light
As I have said, I have had absolutely no problems on lvl 3 missions using this set-up.
If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know :)

how would you set up a ferox post-cold war patch? missiles now suck and i can't see them improving much due to the skills being so incremental, and my railguns now seem to miss at their optimal range, but hit sometimes over their optimal range?!

Huh? I used to use railguns pre-patch but now I've switched back to missiles!
Once you have trained all the new skills your missiles should be a hell of a lot faster, able to hit at a much longer range, do more damage to above-frigate sized ships and you'll be able to get more into the air at any one time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, (I have only just got back to the game from a long break) but it seems to me that for a heavy missile user the new skills are fantastic.

Because the ferox is as fast as a dead mule.

Well I suppose since I can run extravaganza and silence in this setup I'll post it.
Hi Power
4x 'Malkuth' Heavy Launchers
1x 'Limos' Compact Assault Launcher (Flameburst)
2x Small 'Knave' Energy Drain
Mid Power
1x T2 Medium Shield Booster
1x Cap Recharger 1
1x Shield Boost Amplifier 1
2x T2 Large Shield Extenders
Low Power
4x Power Diagnostic System 1
Drones
1 Ogre
1 Wasp (Or Praetor depending on the rat)
This Gives me over 9000 shields with decent shield recharge. I get about the same amount as a Large shield booster with the natural recharge and the booster combined and never run out of cap. The energy drain works well on close flying frigates. The drones are important with the new missile changes and you need a launcher capable of launching light missiles or you will end up getting hit hard by the fast moving small ships. I haven't even had my armor scratched with this setup yet. This is with 6 mil skill points so some of you could probably squeeze Med Energy vamps with a Large shield booster. I haven't tried that yet but I want to.

5 x heavy ML
2 x Dual 150mm Rails
2 x Large Shield Extender II's
1 x Named Thermal Passive Hardener
1 x Named rat specific active Hardener (EM or Kin typically for me)
1 x Med C5-L Shield Overload (rarely, if ever, used)
4 x Shield Power Relays
This results in a shield hp of around 6400 with a recharge rate of 370 secs (skills dependent)
Warp in at 15km and have a bloody good laugh while the rats try and get your shields down (including deadspace missions), while giving them a good slap. You might lose the first quarter of your shield quickly but that's about as far as it gets. Never struggled once with this set up on any level 3 mission at all.
How did you manage to fit everything?
After fitting the tank in, i can only fit 3 heavies and 1 dual 150, i have engineering rank 4 and shield upgrades at rank 4, are there any other skills that free up a lot of grid?

I can fit the above configuration but I also have Engineering 5 and Electronics 5. The extra 25% you your CPU and Powergrid are probably the key. try using Malkuth heavy Launchers as they use less CPU than the standards. Also, if you don't have it get weapon upgrades up to 4 as well. Also Energy grid upgrades to 4 wouldn't hurt either.
