Hi all, anyone got a good pve fit for a vexor, I dont have it yet but I can fly it in a couple days so the question remains.......what. Skills do I need? Basically, I have 2 drones skills, scout drone operation 1 and drones 4.....I have almost no Combat skills at all, tho if u need help mining talk to me :) . I'd also like a good fit for it... To give u an idea why if like to do with it... I want to go for a domi, and I'm using this for level 2s and .5 ratting. This is basically a key stepping stone as on using this to get myrm and mrym to get domi. I'd like to get this asap as I'm slowly coming out of lvl 1s and my catylst is not cutting it anymore. I don't want any heavy drones. Thx for your help guys. Fly safe.

This is a decent fit. I use something very similar for clearing radar sites. I drop one cap recharger for a code breaker, and I replace the tractor beam with a cloak (I work in lowsec). Oh yeah, I also prefer to use rails and let my drones do the heavy lifting.
The Vexor is a great ship.

This is my standard intro fit for a Vexor. Go T2 wherever you can except the AB and the rigs:
[Vexor, missions easy on fitting]
Medium 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I
N-Type Thermic Hardener I
N-Type Kinetic Hardener I
Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners
Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array
Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array
Dual 150mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
[empty high slot]
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Hammerhead II x5
Warrior II x5
And make absolutely sure you can field the 5 drones; get T2 as soon as humanly possible along with DI to at least 3 and preferably 4. You'll probably want 5 by the time you hit a Dominix anyhow.
When you're not firing the guns you'll likely be cap stable. So use them sparingly and don't necessarily set them to auto-repeat; you might want to choose exactly when to take a shot.
Oh, and the tank. That tank is set up for Guristas and Serpentis missions. Always, always (until you've learned when to make an exception) swap out hardeners based on the faction you're facing. Search around for more information on that.
Once this is solid on L2s, try some L3s and move to a Dominix (not a Myrmidon; just don't bother unless you want to crosstrain or fly PvP). That should get you started.

OP:
Zhilia and I disagree on some things (e.g. getting a myrm). It turns out that we were both just part of another thread discussing this issue. Click on my icon and check my most recent posts; the one starting "There's a lot to discuss here" or something to that effect will take you to the appropriate thread and then you can make up your own mind since we both have reasonable arguments for our suggestions.

Fine, I'll do it  . Link is here.
I'll stand by the Domi as a better training/monetary investment to the end though. It can mount a better, more versatile tank (except, yes, you can passive shield tank a Myrm through the eyeballs), it can field quite a bit more damage even if restricted to the same turret setup a Myrm uses, and you're going to want to buy one for L4s anyway so why bother going with a lesser model for L3s if they perform equivalently? And frankly, why even buy/train the BC skill if you're sticking with L3/4 missions in Gallente ships?
Yes, the Myrm is marginally faster. Until you stick an AB on a Domi; a brick PST Myrm can't manage that little trick. (And if/when I field a Myrm, I still like the HPL active armor fit with an AB.)
Oh, and if you really, really want to shield tank a Vexor:
[Vexor, Shield Tank wut?]
Shield Power Relay II
Shield Power Relay II
Power Diagnostic System II
Power Diagnostic System II
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Dual 150mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
Dual 150mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge M
[empty high slot]
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Hobgoblin I x5
Hobgoblin I x3
Hammerhead I x5
Way overkill, but it will do L3s if need be. Cap stable for 44 minutes; should be good enough, no?

I am with Zilla... And at least I think one of the first people to start yelling that the Gall BC's are pretty worthless at first, esp in PvE there is nothing they really do better then a Domi which costs about the same. Esp in low skills situations. Now with high skills in PvP the gall BC's have some uses, but again they need pretty high skill levels, and your usally going to be better off in a cruiser hull esp when you are starting out.
For mission running.
Catalyst for level 1
Vexxor for level 2
Domi for 3-4 Although I would fit medium sized guns on the domi for level 3. Get your drone skills up, skip Heavies and go straight to Sentry II drones if you want to make money quickly in missions. A surprising number of Drone specialist do not have Heavy II's trained, Medium II are a must for everyone, and Gall drone pilots shine with sentry II's, esp in the Domi/Ishtar.

Can u guys give me the approxamite eta on your skillset? I need 4 days to get it ( gallente frig 4) so I'll tack that on and I would like it at about the time I get l2s I have a 3.8 standing with the agent I need 5 for lvl 2s. U guys are great thx for the help. I found awesome cap stable salvager fit for my catalyst so I've got a plan for my current ship :) . Also, are these fits cap stable?

The passive Vexor that I posted is cap stable.
You'll need the following:
Shield Upgrades at 4 (for LSE II)
Energy Grid Upgrades at 4 (for SPR II)
Shield Operation
Shield Management
Shield Rigging at 1 (for the rigs)
That's just for the tank since the other skills should be pretty much the same (i.e. Gallente Cruiser, etc.).
To see how long it will take you, download Evemon and set up a skill plan for your character:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1038916
To import your character into Evemon, you'll will need to generate a limited API key. Eve Insider -> My Character is what you need (IIRC).

my reccomendation,downgrade to t1 where needed switch hardeners for rats.you can switch the eanm for a 3rd hardener or dcu if needed also.it's very capstable with the ab and tractor beam not running.

1) Vespas probably aren't your best choice; Hammerheads tend to be better except against highly kin-vulnerable rats.
2) Get T2 drones as soon as you can.
3) Get your Drone Interfacing skill up to 4 even sooner.
4) Otherwise, that looks really good.

With the exception of the rigs I think this was my first vexor fit for lvl2's YEARS ago :) - nice to see it still holds up, T2 hammerheads are next step I'd say

This... confuses me. Why are you mixing groups that way? A full wave of Hammers and a full wave of Hobs would make more sense. At least they'd all arrive and start doing damage at the same time.
Oh, and for the record, I'm now of the opinion that the best L2 Vexor is... an Arbitrator. With a passive shield tank.

The only change I would do from your fit is to pull the 800mm plate off of it. I am surprised no one has said anything about that. When you tank actively ie your Medium ar repairer, you do not need plate. Plate is used for buffer tanking ie maxing your hp for PvP stuff, as in general repping time is too long ot make a difference in PvP. I would pul the plate, and fit a rat spec hardener, or a Damage control instead, perhaps an energized adaptive nano membrane aka eanm. This will make you faster so you can pull the nano off and put a damage control/eanm and rat spec hardener on it, or put in a cap power relay, to help cap stability. depends on skills

I just got a vexor and started here to figure out how to fit it. I'm definitely a beginner. I was just curious why you have so many drones in the bay? Can't you only control 5? And if that is the case which 5 do you control?

You can only control 5 but with the extras you have spares in case of them getting popped by the rats. You also have different sizes to handle different rats, for example light drones for frigs/destroyers, Mediums for Cruisers/BCs and generally sentries/heavies for Battleships.

Oh okay. How do I tell which enemies are small, medium, or large? Do I need to click get info every time or is there an icon in the overview that will tell me?

The smaller and thinner the red cross icon is on your overview, the smaller the actual ship. It's not terribly difficult to differentiate.

DonŠt mix drones. A full flight of LIGHT DRONES for Rat Frigs and Dessys. A full flight of MED DRONES for Rat Cruisers and Battlecruisers. A full flight of HEAVY/SENTRYS for Rat Battleships.
In L1 and L2 you are only fighting Frigs and Dessys (L2 can have an occasional cruiser if i remember right). When your drone bay is big enough (and the VexorŠs is), there is no use for mixing drones. Simply switch drones if needed.
DonŠt use armor plates in PVE. Like above poster said, they are ment for PVP. In PVE you usually use hardeners (most common) or energized plating. Hardeners bring your resists up. Damage done by rats is repped by armor repairer.
Have a look at eve-survival.com before accepting your mission to see what you are fighting. Than fit apropriate hardeners. Gallente drones are usually a good choise, as thermal is at least the *second* weakness of rats. Use Warriors against Angels.
Hope that helps.
