KoeK	Posted - 2005.01.19 13:43:00 - [1] Since there isn't a link to vexor setups in the Ship Setups topic, now is the time to make one. I currently use a blaster setup, mainly for missons, never got the chance to test it in Fleet/PVP. High: 4x Heavy Ion Blaster (AM / Thorium) and a Small Nosferatu (Named) Mid: MWD/AB (Deadspace or not), Webber, Cap recharger Low: t2 Med Repairer, 2x hardner, cap relay Drones: Take a mix of medium drones, I like the Valkyrie / Vespa combo. The skills are quite low (tanking/cap recharge skills to IV, weapon upgrades 3 mainly) I tried fitting this with dual 150's or 200's but I didn't get damage (even when fitting a lot of dmg/tracking mods) or tanking. I am, however, looking for a good rail setup.
Techyon	Posted - 2005.01.19 14:17:00 - [2] I use : High : 3x 150mm rails (Named), 2x Med nos (Named) Med : AB T2, Webber, Cap Recharger Low : Med rep (Named),2x hardener, cpr Drones : mix of Hammerhead/Valkyrie mainly intent as a support role to stop frig tacklers in fleet combat, it does what it's supposed to. Perhaps there is a better setup for this but I don't have a lot of skills yet so atm this works just fine for me. ------ ARIN Recruiter
wappy	Posted - 2005.01.19 15:14:00 - [3] for fleet battles get all nos on top and 13-15 drones out get 1med rep t2 and 3 hardners in med slots webber ab2 and cap battery you need to find something to nos to keep your tank going but your not going anywhere unless you got 3+ cruisers ganking you
Steven Dynahir	Posted - 2005.01.20 16:09:00 - [4] High: 4Medium Beam Lasers + smartbomb Med: 100MN AB, Med shield booster, Cap recharger I Low: Armour Repairer, 3Nanofiber I. Drones: 15 Med, or 30 Small. SigPl/HQ&Log Coy/MNB(C)/KFOR

Skelator	Posted - 2005.01.20 23:07:00 - [7] The Vexor was my first cruiser.. God how i loved that ship. I would go with either small guns(with good skills) or Named 250 rails such as Scouts etc etc. My old cruiser pounded hard with the 250's They have us Surrounded again.. the Poor Bastards
Demon Johnson	Posted - 2005.01.26 18:55:00 - [8] My setup for level 3 kill missions: 3* 200mm Rails (10km optimal with AM, 30km with iron) 1* small NOS 1* AB 10MN 2* Cap Recharger 2* Hardener (depending on NPC damagetype 1* medium armor repairer 1* capa power relay 12 medium drones 1 small drone 1 large drone Can do ALL level 3 kill missions with it. takes long to run out of cap. I could fly a BC...or BS....but the vexor still is fun Flying big ships is for the weak!
SGTalon	Posted - 2005.01.27 17:05:00 - [9] Define Small Guns Slothe. Are we talking 125mm Rails, Gatling Rails, Blasters???? I am about to get my first Vexor and would like to know the best setup. My Weapon skills are still pretty low. I am effective out to about 10 or 12km with my 150mm Rails now. And i think i need to keep up that distance to be balanced. But i am not sure. Any info you guys can give would be great.
Liam Fremen	Posted - 2005.01.27 17:18:00 - [10] I would say like others to use 150mm rails, good ROF, good range, nice falloff, u can actualy hit about 10km with Am without problem, 20km with tungsten and a bit more with iron! With low skill small guns are sure better, beacause for hit fast enemy with med guns u need nice skills, and with small u hit way often and u make good damage at same!

Stribog	Posted - 2005.02.17 08:54:00 - [11] Edited by: Stribog on 17/02/2005 09:07:56 NPC High: 4x Medium Beam Laser Med: Large Shield Booster II, Large Shield Extender II, AB Low: 4x PDU 15 med drone's.

Steven Dynahir	Posted - 2005.02.17 14:13:00 - [13] Hmm.. I switched my shield hardener to one large shield booster and got some interesting results. Currently 2100hp shield with 700sec recharge. This change seems to be more ideal setup for NPC fightings, since nowdays those deadspace entrances jump you to middle of the enemies. That litle extra time the booster gives, is just enought to get you away from the enemies (with 500m/s setup) for you to lay back and snipe the enemies while drones do the hard work.

High: Heavy Beam Laser, Medium Focused Beam, 2Medium beam, smartbomb Med: Medium Shield booster, 10MN AB, Large Shield Extender I Low: 2PDU, 2*Nanofiber Drones: Atleast 18, with varying mixes Speed: 500+m/s Basic tactic is to warp in, orbit at 40km and shoot shields down with long range beams and wait for drones to pop the can. If anything gets close, then the medium beams are for close defence. SigPl/HQ&Log Coy/MNB(C)/KFOR
Chenlab	Posted - 2005.02.27 10:57:00 - [17] My Vex is running 2X dual 150mm 2X250mm rail1s, these were given to me from a friend who salvedged them from a battle he had a few weeks back, they seem to have a slight range difference of 38km and im still pulling 20-30 damage at 42km, i will always try and keep the enemy at range with a 10mn AB along with 3 overdrive injectors, 100mm reiforced and, medium shield booster. if the enemy ship is closing in on me ill switch from 250's to 150 duals and release 5 hammer haead drones (learning heavys), if somehow they managed to catch me ill enjoy some smart bomb action before warping out;) Im still rather fresh faced in combat though as im quite new to Eve, .4 .3 belts dont seem to be a problem though, havent had the guts to go any further alone, Setup has out ran 4 tristans from 12km to 30km, taken out Exequror, Vexor and Thorax. Please note all enemys were nprats Chenlab
Hepatitis	Posted - 2005.02.28 22:27:00 - [18] also you could try for pvp: 5 nos web, scrambler, cap recharger just a nice armor tank(im not good with armor tanks so i wont give advice) the way you will be getting dmg is by your drones, so i recomend good drone skills if you are going to do this. ----------------------------------------- I am a forumaholic.
Atar	Posted - 2005.02.28 22:44:00 - [19] I think the Vexor is one of the best cruisers, I can easly take a 4 Cruiser spawn with 110k's and 90k's. Drones rule, I just fit small guns so I can tank better. I don't really fly it to much anymore but sometimes it's just fun with the drones.

Drones rule, I just fit small guns so I can tank better. I don't really fly it to much anymore but sometimes it's just fun with the drones. Yeah, against NPCs, especially Serps, it works wonders. Carry a webber though, and the Vexor's limited powergrid will give you a hard time fitting all the essential stuff. With good drone skills it's rather fun, and can do every lv III missions without warping out (except Silence the Informant stage 2 -Damn Merc commanders-)

R'adeh	Posted - 2005.03.05 17:31:00 - [21] Well, here's my solo-hunting setup...it's meant to be a frig killer: High: 3x 150mm I with antimatter, 2x Med Knave NOS Med: 10mn MWD, named webber, scrambler Low: Named med armor rep, 2x CPR, WCS AND: 4 ogres, 7 hammerheads This setup seems to perform quite nicely, but you have to pick your fights. Against cruisers I prefer my Rax. Rely on the drones to do most of the damage. Frigs are toast
Atar	Posted - 2005.03.05 18:32:00 - [22] Even light drones work well if you have good skills, plus then you have 2 full waves of drones, and becasue they move so fast they are hard to hit and can keep up with some intys. I've taken out tanked up mallers with lights
RollinDutchMasters	Posted - 2005.03.05 18:35:00 - [23] 4x Medium Pulse Laser 1x 10mn AB 1x Webber 1x Large Peroxide Battery 1x Medium Armor Rep II 2x Hardeners 1x CPR 13x Medium Drones That should all fit, although CPU may be tight. Should tank very nicely, and have plenty of firepower. Originally by: Sochin CCP has provided you with the tools you need to avoid crime. You're just too lazy/stupid to use them.
Chuffbiscuits	Posted - 2005.04.08 14:20:00 - [24] My setup is aimed towards lvl3 missions, and needs to inflict damage at ranges over 20km while being able to stop and drop tackling frigates and handle missile spammers, so... Highs: 2x 250mm named (AM or Uranium), 2x 125mm named (iron or iridium), SB for missile defence Mids: 10MN AB, CR, Web Lows: Med armour rep, 2x CPR, WCS Drones: 9x hammerheads (training more...) This is just about OK for surviving spawns with Mordus Bobcats, Cheetahs and Katanas... but only just and I'm still experimenting. I'm no egg-spurt, but as replacing a Vexor is a lot cheaper than replacing a Thorax, my ship choice is easy. This is also why I don't go mad for named or T2 stuff, as I can't afford to lose a few mill of stuff on top of the Vexor itself.

Styllzzzz	Posted - 2005.04.26 10:58:00 - [26] A Vexor fitting I have come up with: High: 4x dual 150mm with Plutonium (¦9.500m optimal (I hate to let bonusses go unused)) Med: 10mn ab, webber, cap recharger Low: med armor rep, 2x hardener, 800mm armor plate. + Set of assorted drones. For pvp I was thinking of replacing the med guns with 2/3 small ones, fit an MWD and a couple of med nosses. Not tested anything tho, so let me know what u think :)
jamesw	Posted - 2005.04.26 11:06:00 - [27] 3 nos, 2 x 150mm t2 MWD, Web, Scrambler 4 Nanofibers 14 drones. its a 2km/sec frig killer -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can
Valdruk	Posted - 2005.04.26 13:08:00 - [28] The thing I really like about the Vexor is its flexibility. I set it up to start running lvl 2 security missions. The corp I am in just got dec'd on so I was looking for some PvP set-ups. Come here and wow! When I moved up to the Vexor I am just wasn't getting the damage I needed. Last night we were doing some fun testing and I still don't hit for crap with my rails. So, I think I need to increase a few more combat skills but I have a long list of skills that I need to work on I like the: High: 3xHeavy Ion Blaster, 2xMedium (named) Nosferatu Mid: AB, Webber, 2xCap Recharger Low: 2xHardener,Cap Relay, Medium Repairer Decent Pvp? 7 Heavy Drones, just finished drone V and Heavy Drone :) ___________________________________________

Liquid dreams filled her mind as she found herself sinking into an eternal ocean of blood. An ocean she had created over the severed flesh of her assigned targets.
jamesw	Posted - 2005.04.26 13:43:00 - [30] use medium drones in the vexor - it goes nicely with the drone control bonus... -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can

Valdruk	Posted - 2005.05.05 18:39:00 - [31] Ok, Totally new approach here....wanted to get into blasters. SO, I bought 4 Modal Neutron Blasters. AS you can imagine I have having a tough time with engineering 4, I'll be upgrading that as soon as I finish Medium turret 4. So, here is what I have and I know it sucks, my corp has given me a ton of suggestions and I just want a few more. Hi Slots 4xModal Neutron 1 Vacant Mid Slots Barton Capacitor Recharger 2xVacant Low Slots 2xRCU1 1xEnergetic Adaptive Nano 1xSmall Repair I have .5 grid left :) Using 8 drones, 5xheavy, 2xmedium, 1xlight. Whatcha think? Should I drop down 1 Modal? Depending on Ammo, my optimal is 2k to 5km, 7km to 10km optimal + fall off. Thanks. ___________________________________________
Oberon Oblique	Posted - 2005.05.05 19:28:00 - [32] For NPC hunting i'd suggest: 4x dual 150's 1x 10ab 2x Cap rechargers (or drop the ab for another recharger) 1x med rep 2x hardeners 1x cap relay -The mind is strong and the flesh is weak, but oh the flesh...
R'adeh	Posted - 2005.05.29 23:51:00 - [33] Edited by: R''adeh on 29/05/2005 23:51:07 R'adeh reanimates thread... Well, I'm transporting a lot of highend minerals through 0.0. Luckily the Vexor has enough cargospace to fit ~40k of highends (~140-150mil) so I don't need a regular hauler. I've setup my ship as a blockade runner, and it works well 2x 150mm t2 rails with antimatter, 3x med knave NOS 10mn MWD, 2x Med Clarity Ward shield boosters 1x nanofibre, 3x wcs Drones: heavy/med (mostly to scare away scrambling ceptors) This setup should kill/scare away most frigs/ceptors which might scramble you and the wcs allow you to warp away unless you get blobbed. NOS ftw :)
DrunkenOne	Posted - 2005.05.30 00:39:00 - [34] 3 150 IIs, 2 med nos mwd, web, 20km. 1600 plate, small rep, 2 RCUs (I think... maybe 1 and 1 PDU). 15 med drones. Uber armor, lots of drones, a little damage, and some nossing.

High: 4x150mm T2 guns loaded with Iridumn, 1xMedium NOS Mid: Named Cap Recharger, T2 AB, can't remember the other mid slot. Low: 800mm plate, Nano Membrame, Cap Relay, Medium Rep ===================================================
Amrotis	Posted - 2005.06.11 22:37:00 - [36] I like something along the lines of: 3x 150mm IIs 2x Med nos 1x 10mn AB II 1x Web 1x 20k Scram 1x Med Rep II 3x Hardener Warriors. Great for solo killing overly*****y assault frigs or intys.
Ricky Baby	Posted - 2005.07.11 11:34:00 - [37] at the moment ive got (iv e just started into the gallente/armour tanking side of ships HI 4x 200mm scouts ( 14k with uranium ) 1x small remote armour repair ( keeps my drones happy ) MED 1x 10MN AB 1x Target painter I 1x webber LOW 1x small armour repair 1x RCU I 1x 200mm plate (going to 400 soon) 1x hardener (20% passive) i use it to take out the orbiting npc on deadspace mission that orbit my m8's in BC's
Fidelis Deus	Posted - 2005.08.29 03:27:00 - [38] Edited by: Fidelis Deus on 29/08/2005 03:27:15 This Thread Shall not die. Anyways, I was toying with the idea of a Vexor geared to kill frigates and elite frigs. I shall refrain from using expensive t2 or named gear as this vessel is meant to be disposable frigate killing machine. 3x Medium Nosferatu I 2x Small Nosferatu(Replace with named or t2 small rails perhaps?) OR 4x 150mm T2 or named small rails 1x Medium Nosferatu 10mn MWD, 20km disruptor, scrambler 2x T2 Small armor repairer, 2x Energized Adaptive Membrane 2(If using first highslot loadout) If using second highslot layout 1x medium t2 armor repairer, 3x active hardeners It's a 4 million isk ship with 2 million isk worth of gear, I'm cheap.
Voltron	Posted - 2005.08.29 05:58:00 - [39] K, this is my gank fleet support vexor.......it is in no way a solo setup, though with a wee bit of tinkering it can be turned into an acceptable solo ship. drooooooones, 15 medium ones Hi 1 x small nos 4 x med T1electron blaster (havent checked to see if T2 fit) med 1 x 10mn mwd 1 x tracking disruptor 1 x sensor dampener low 1 x t2 small rep 1 x 800mm plate 1 x 400mm nano plate 1 x nanofiber ya ya i know, 2 plates and a nanofiber are stupid, but the powergrid reqs with this plate setup arent as intensive as a 1600, and I prefer fitting cruiser sized weapons to cruisers rather than frig guns and playing the 1600mm I win game. For solo you can take off the 400mm and the nanofiber and fit a t2 dmg mod and a hardener/cap relay/2nd t2 dmg mod. Volt

Fidelis Deus	Posted - 2005.09.11 06:20:00 - [44] Because the thorax does it better?
Razner Cerizo	Posted - 2005.09.11 06:42:00 - [45] Originally by: Fidelis Deus Because the thorax does it better? sadly this is the truth. the thorax will outdps a vexor, can tank better due to fittings, etc. I love my vexor, its a beautiful ship - but I cannot for the life of me fit it. My odd setup involed a few med nosferatus and packed vexor with med drones... like a really weak vamp-dominix. I got eaten by a cruiser :( /me wishes vexor had a bit more PG so could fit the 800mm plating comfortably

Agana	Posted - 2005.10.08 15:19:00 - [57] Here's my "I'm poor" setup with low skills - rat hunting HI 4x 150 rails with anti-matter, 1 small NOS (this is absolutely useless and will soon be replaced) MED 10MN AB, Small SB, Web LOW Med Armor Rep, WCS, Mag Stab, (and something else I can't remember plating probably) Dones: Hammerheads and as many as I have skills for. I use the small shield booster after the fight is over for the most part. Since I'm rat hunting the quicker things get back to normal the faster I can warp to the next asteroid field.
Justice Bringer	Posted - 2005.10.08 17:30:00 - [58] Even though I have an Ishtar now, I still like my Vexor.

Now if you really want to go for damage this setup should be good ... i have only tried this on a thorax that is. High 4x Neutron Blasters ( if they fit ) 1x small nos Med 1x 10 mwd , 1x warp disruptor, 1x statis weber Low: 1x or 2x small T2 Repairers ... And the rest damage mods or possibly even a T2 med repairer. Oh yes and your drones, Rather put medium drones but 6 orges an't that bad
Theodox Gotan	Posted - 2005.10.23 00:13:00 - [62] So many good setups. I am curious though, which is the better route to take as far as shield or armor tanking goes? I could either put a large booster or repairer on it. Thanks.
Kirtan Loor	Posted - 2005.10.28 11:21:00 - [63] I cannot decide on a nice vexor setup...I would like to get some advice for pvp setups.

If things close in just run away, i only do L2 mission atm but this easily handles em all without having to refit at all. Dirty little webbers can be a mild hassle, if youre cap is low and you cant shield tank it long enough for the drones to kill it, go back and grab blasters + webber and take it out that way.

It can also carry a maximum of 6 heavy drones, not 7. It looks like that guy just made that setup in his imagination, because there is no way it would work. The Vexor is a wonderful ship for solo 0.1-0.4 NPCing. The 15 medium drones tear through frigates in seconds, whilst you can concentrate 4 200mm railguns on the cruisers. For the 5th highslot, a small remote armour repair keeps the drones happy. A Nos is pointless, because you're basically in a drone boat, and don't want to get that close to the NPC's anyway. You can generally wipe out multiple cruiser/frigate spawns before they fire a shot at you, with this setup. You can fit an armour tank if you want to be cautious, though you are unlikely to need it - let the drones take the hits for you, and just repair them when everything else is dead. Obviously, good drones skills are essential to any Vexor setup. Either way, its a fantastic ship for solo killing a mixture of cruisers and frigates.

Drones do nice dmg. with the ship bonuses and the Ions do some decent damage as well. You COULD switch out to small neutrons and go with a 1600mm tungsten plate for an even better tank. Either way works just the one above takes full advantage of the ship bonuses.
Theodox Gotan	Posted - 2005.12.29 15:38:00 - [80] Any updates on this? I want to run missions in it and I want it to be airtight, should I go for armor or shield tanking? I am leaning more towards armor right now. Thanks.

No seriously, with the new changes to missions, a level 3 mission will be very hard to tank in a cruiser like the Vexor. With the Vex you do need to take advantage of the ship bonus and drone skills. I have Drones at 5, Gallente Cruiser at 5 (10% drone damage & hitpoints per level) and Drone Interfacing at 4. I just solo'd Angels Extravaganza in a Vexor with a 1600 plate/150mm rails/target painters/hardeners and a mix of medium drones with those skills. Whilst it wasn't easy it wasn't that hard either.
Ashwa	Posted - 2005.12.30 23:01:00 - [85] Hmm, why doesnt anybody use dual rails? ive checked most of the setups, and none can surpass the dual rail setup in dps, the 4x neutron cannons can but they ahve such a sucky range i cannot see why one would use it. i have 4x named 150dual rails 1x medium named nos 1xwebifier 1x ab 1x cpr 2 hardeners 1x400 plate and 1 medium repair. this is rmr setup bytheway.

Ashwa	Posted - 2006.01.03 20:20:00 - [87] well with that setup arnold, i get 25 dps less, so i fail to see the efficiency here, this is even when i only have gall. frig. 2 and low medium gunneryskills. what ammo do you use?
ookke	Posted - 2006.01.12 00:28:00 - [88] Arnolds setup is all about getting inside nos range(without ab?) and killing the opponens tank while the DPS comes from the t2 mediums drones. Trust me, t2 medium drones are nasty when doing the right dmg type :)
Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:17:00 - [89] I'm a little confused about these Vexor setups, I see multiple drones in the fittings...4-8, sometimes more. But when I check a Vexor only has 25m3 of drone bay space. How are you using more? Is there some way to move them from cargo bay to drone bay while in fight? Or what? I'm eager to hear the explanation..also even with Drones lvl 5 you can only control 5 at a time.....right? I'm a drone noob, so educate me please.
Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:20:00 - [90] The Vexor carries 75m3 of drones, not 25m3 - Ship Gallery - Helpdesk from Hell

Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:24:00 - [91] OK, but I've heard the Praetor mentioned several times as a good drone, as well as the Ogre. But each are 25m3, so the Vexor could only carry 3? Right? Same goes for Thorax setups I see...far more Drones being mentioned then th 50m3 dronebay can hold. What's the deal?
Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:30:00 - [92] Maybe the posts you're looking at were posted before the drone changes, and therefore use different stats. Not so long ago, a heavy drone was 250m3 and a Thorax had a 2000m3 drone bay, while the Vexor has 1500m3. Therefore you could easily fit a bunch of heavy drones in these ships and be extremely dangerous. Thankfully, this was finally fixed, as the Thorax was hugely unbalanced. Anyway, your best bet today with a Vexor is to carry a full squad of medium drones (50m3) + a full squad of light drones (25m3) and use one squad or the other depending on circumstances. Light drones are great to take care of pesky fast frigates when your medium drones don't suffice. - Ship Gallery - Helpdesk from Hell
Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:33:00 - [93] Perhaps, when were those drone changes rolled into the game?
Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2006.01.15 23:49:00 - [94] Well, firstly, drone sizes and drone bay sizes were all divided by 10 several months ago to make carrying drones in your cargohold easier. But that's not really relevant. Then they brought the Thorax's drone bay size from 200 to 100m3. That was some months ago, too. Then finally, with the advent of RMR last month (between Dec 10 and 20, I think?), they halved the drone bays of every ship and changed a lot of stuff about drones (in particular, now you can only have 5 drones in space in most cases -- you could have as many as 15 before RMR). - Ship Gallery - Helpdesk from Hell
Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.16 00:04:00 - [95] OK thanks. So does this make drone usage in ships like the Vexor and Thorax less then efficient or useful? I was thinking of Drones for defense as I outfitted the Vexor for mining with minimal guns. Thoughts? Doable?
Kraik Graeme	Posted - 2006.01.16 07:38:00 - [96] Using your Vexor as a mining boat is very doable, just slap on 4*minerII's and use medium drones for npc defense. You would probably still have to leave belt if comes looking by.
Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2006.01.16 09:23:00 - [97] Originally by: Brazz SilverPocket So does this make drone usage in ships like the Vexor and Thorax less then efficient or useful? Yes, however it was in the name of balance and, while you can now no longer have as many drones in space or even carry as many, CCP has boosted drones individually in a very sensible way that essentially makes them a lot better. 5 medium drones today are significantly more dangerous than 5 medium drones before these changes. Quote: I was thinking of Drones for defense as I outfitted the Vexor for mining with minimal guns. That's fine. If you pack a decent tank, 5 mediums will make short work of any frigate-sized NPC, and probably cruisers too. - Ship Gallery - Helpdesk from Hell
Katrine Bei	Posted - 2006.01.16 09:43:00 - [98] Only played for 3 months or so, and have only pvpd for a week or so...mainly against other cruisers, frigats, interceptors and AF. This is more of a safe carebear setup were the only downside being the rather low resists high: 2 med nos 2 small neutrons 1 small ion(1pg short for another neutron ) med: 1 10NM AB 1 warp scrambler 1 web low: 1 med AR t2 1 800mm plate 1 energized reactive(not skill for active)(yet) 1 energized adaptive nano drones: 5 med hammerheads 5 small hobgoblins The downsides on this setup is the rather low resists(about 48% thermal/kinetic) and the speed(400m/s or so)... If for example a caracal came with a MWD and a warp distuptor i would probably pop since droneswoulden break the tank fast enough I could use small rails or med rails, but then the heavy tank would be gone...
Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.16 17:49:00 - [99] Thanks again everyone! I try to make my ships capable of defending themselves from the NPC Belt Rats while still being able to mine. So I can solo mine in 0.4 - 0.5 space for those times I simply want to be alone. The Vexor allows me to do this with the addition of the good dronebay. I'm workig Drones up now - Currently Lvl 2, but a short run left to Lvl 3 (After which it will take a bit longer.) Since I can't pack 5 Medium Drones yet I'll carry 2 Medium Drones and some guns on the Vexor for defense. A stripped down mining vessel with only Drones for defense (Medium until skills are better) would be: Hi: Miner II x 4 Mid: None Low: Basic Co-Processor x2, 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I For armor tanking just in case drones fail) Then drones for defense. As a mining ship without suitable drone defense I was thinking of this fitting (Keep in mind I'm targetting an 0.4 belt with not a ton of rats, but they come as large as 50-70k bounty a rat at time): Hi: Miner II x2, 250mm Rail Guns x2 Mid: 10mn Afterburner I, Stasis Webifier I, Cap Recharger I Low: Medium Armor Repairer I, Expanded Cargohold I x2, Basic Co-Processor If I go with only a single Miner II, I can then drop the Basic Co-Processor and 1 Expanded Cargohold and add 2x Warp Core Stabilizers. This way I have the Webifier to slow rats down, and the Stabs to save me should I get warp scrambled. Maybe? I like the double Miner II's though. Drones - Hammerhead I x3, Mining Drone I x3 I'm only carring 3 Drones each since my Drone Skill level is currently only lvl 2, but will hit lvl 3 tonight.* Do you think this setup would be decent enough for 0.4 average belts rats 9-15k bounty with the occasional 50-70k rat? Or is there a better setup you would recommend for the Vexor as a Solo-mining ship in 0.4 space? Your thoughts and comments are welcome. Thanks!
Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.17 14:38:00 - [100] Wow, all I can say is wow. I'm currently running the Mining/Defense setup I mentioned: Hi: Miner II x2, 150mm Rail Guns x2 (Until tonight when Gun Skills let me fit the 250mm Rail Guns) Mid: 10mn Afterburner I, Stasis Webifier I, Cap Recharger I Needed in case of prolonged battle Low: Medium Armor Repairer I, Expanded Cargohold I x2, Basic Co-Processor Along with 2 Hammerhead I drones (Until tonight when I'll get Drones to level 3) this setup is doing very well for me in 0.6 space (As a test so I don't lose the nearly 7mil I spent on the ship, fittings and insurance) - I've easily popped several squads of Serpentis Spies and Guards..and had one engagement where I took on two spies. They were closing fairly quickly with my Hammerheads moving in on them. I locked both and started firing my gun at 12km out while the drones started hitting the first spy. Our range closed to around 9500 meters on one, and 11km on other, so I webbed the closest (So I could start testing to see how to use it properly) spy and watched it's speed plummet..basically rendering it helpless as my drones ate away at it's armor and a perfectly placed shot from my 150mm railgun wrecked it for over 100dmg and I watched it explode. I was already switching my attention to the other spy as my drones closed on it when I saw something I've yet to see....cowardice from an NPC Rat. It was fleeing. Even though I had my 10mn AB switched on and was moving at near 280m/s the much faster frigate was getting away...then suddenly it warped off, right before my drones reached it. Too funny! I laughed myself silly for sure. I know it was outmatched, but it's the first time I've ever seen an NPC rat turn tail and run. It was closing on me, saw the rapid demise of it's cohort and ran away like a coward. Anyway, the Vexor is a NICE ship and I think my fitting will work for me..and can only get better as my skills increase. Unless of course someone can tell me of a better fitting? Thoughts? Take care!

Kitty O'Shay	Posted - 2006.01.17 19:27:00 - [101] Brazz, try the 250mm's for kicks, but don't post about not being able to hit anything! The 250mm's don't have the tracking to really hit frigs unless you can target paint them and get the transversal velocity down. Even Dual 150mm's can suck against belt frigs. Get some 150mm Scout/Compressed Coil guns and enjoy the boom! Oh, and if you need grid/cpu you can drop down to a Small Armor Repper II (only needs Repair Systems III) in place of the medium.

Brazz SilverPocket	Posted - 2006.01.17 20:08:00 - [102] Edited by: Brazz SilverPocket on 17/01/2006 20:11:15 Originally by: Kitty O'Shay Brazz, try the 250mm's for kicks, but don't post about not being able to hit anything! The 250mm's don't have the tracking to really hit frigs unless you can target paint them and get the transversal velocity down. Even Dual 150mm's can suck against belt frigs. Get some 150mm Scout/Compressed Coil guns and enjoy the boom! Oh, and if you need grid/cpu you can drop down to a Small Armor Repper II (only needs Repair Systems III) in place of the medium. It can out repair the damage from Lv 2 mission rats, so should be plenty in the belts. And one more think, if I may. Train up Controlled Bursts, it's a must on rail/blaster ships. Your cap will thank your for it. Thanks Kitty, I'll look into your suggestions - The only thing that concerns me is the 150mm Scout and Compressed Coils are NOT medium hybrid turret weapons..so I won't get the Vexor bonuses..is there a good Medium Hybrid Turret rail I can use? I haven't got the 250mm online yet - but will tonight, so I'll try it and see what I think. I planned on working the gunnery skills up a bit anyway..and CB was one of them high on the list. My thanks!
Sheerin	Posted - 2006.01.17 20:38:00 - [103] true, the vexor doesnt give a bonus for frigate sized guns, but if your planning on hitting frigates mostly fitting 150mm rails is a much better choice, since if you dont hit anything you dont do much damage either :) and about the drones, take a full compliment of mining drones and combat drones with you, as long as there are no rats, use the mining drones, and when rats spawn switch for combat drones quickly. That requires some paying attention though, because mining drones are quite vulnerable. as for a mining setup without knowing the vexors pg/cpu by heart i'd try to fill all slots: high: miner II med: cap rechargers/webber/ab low: medium armor repairer / hardeners / cap relay / cpu enhancers as needed 5 mining drones + rest of bay filled with combat drones thats all kinda depending on how good your fitting skills are, but something like that is the general idea.
Marq Leosi	Posted - 2006.01.20 09:26:00 - [104] Hi all, I lost my first Vexor to a lvl 2 mission yesterday 'cause I was unable warp out faster than they eat my armor. So the question is: could someone pls post a decent post RMR tank setup for a ~3M SP character in a Vexor. Just to mention it: most of the lvl 2 mission are no problem for me. What killed my Vexor was "human cattle 5/5" which I think is by far the hardest mission I got so far. Thanks in advance! Marq
banannagirl	Posted - 2006.01.20 11:46:00 - [105] I havent seena single set up here on vexors that i couldnt whoop easily ... ! there is only one really good set up for vexors ... vexors eat thoraxes or should be able to with two heavy drones and two meds and one light. You can switch the light to a combat auxillary drone ... ! but the best set up for this ship no argument is this four times small 150's named if poss one med nos med slots - one 10 ab - one webber or two and one scrambler. low slots ... one 1600 plate - two times reactor control - and one med armor repper. depending your skills to get a little extra cap through bonus ... but even without lose one small 150 and this ship is deadly ... ! i rat in 0.0 it quite easily .. for serps .. ! i also ate a brutix with this set up .. ! but was eaten by an amarrian bc .. ! regards http://www.artzgalaxies.com/

Tombert	Posted - 2006.01.23 01:22:00 - [107] Edited by: Tombert on 23/01/2006 01:23:04 Being a fairly new character, 4 mil sp, with only 400k in gunnery and cruiser at lvl 4, I recently moved to 0.0 and hunt solo there with no problems whatsoever. H: 4xT2 150mm/AM, 1 Med NOS M: T2AB10, 2x Caprechargers L: T2 Small Armor Rep, 2xRat specific avtive hardneres, 1600mm plate. 5xT2 Drones I have not had any issues with the lack of a Web/painter becuase the med drones/fast tracking guns can hit just abotu anything. I was worried when I went up agianst my first BS (900,000k isk bounty), but orbiting at 5km, NOS active, I didnt even get hit and broke its armor tank in less than 3-4 mins. So far (this is only my second day in 0.0) I have been able to take out a 3 cruiser/2 BS spawn with ease and realtivly fast. My Cap skills are still a little low so I use a Small Armor Rep 2 and just let it run, and the 5500 armor has never even been close to hull, worst damamge I took was about 75% armor. Add to that that the total cost of my ship is under 15 mil, with mods, isk with 4 mil back on insurance, this set up is great. I have never PVP'd, but I bet this is a decent, low cost, setup.
Remus Rend	Posted - 2006.01.25 07:06:00 - [108] Still pretty new, and wondering which of these setups woudl be more effective, and any improvements that coudl be made to either one of them. I'm debating between: Hi: 2x 250mm, 2x 150mm, Med. Nos Med: 10m hydrogen AB, Med Shield, Named Targeting inhibator Low: 3x nanos, interior forcefield array Or: Hi: 4x small blasters, med nos Med: cap recharger, AB(/MWD?), webber Low: as heavy of armor as i can handle, med. armor repair, 2x nanos Drones: mix of medium scouts (/armor repairers?) I'd be glad for any advice. Thanks.
Ackaroth	Posted - 2006.01.25 07:55:00 - [109] I would suggest armor tanking, but thats just because its always suggested to me. Armor tank and use armor repairer. Seems to work pretty well.

FreeHansje	Posted - 2006.01.29 17:58:00 - [111] How about no guns? Dunno what to put there, but I noticed I don't need guns in PvE. I would think in PvP you could use other stuff better, like nos and such. ----- FreeHansje Yes, I'm a Newby. So sue me!
Gardac	Posted - 2006.02.04 05:27:00 - [112] I basically used this setup as-is and found really nice. Blasted through all of Human Cattle and at no time did my Armor drop below 50% (Using the Armor rep. as I could of course). Didn't really even use the Nos or Webber most of the time so if you are short on cash you can wait on those. Also I did use two Reactor Control I's instead of the active harders. Only suggestion is that once you have the basic skills for this, focus on getting your Drone skills up (ie. 5 in Drone, 4 in Drone Interfacing, 4 in Heavy Drone operation, 4 in Combat Drone Opt.)

Heloise ChateauBriande	Posted - 2006.03.22 22:53:00 - [115] My corpmate has the best Vexor setup ever. His setup is simple: no guns (at all), drone mods, MWD, speed mods, cap mods, tech II hammerheads He zips around at unbelievable speeds and nothing can touch him. Somehow he's got his cap sustainable. While he flits about he let's the tech II hammerheads obliterate his foes. It is absolutely silly to see him at work. His DPS may not be the best ever but he is unstoppable. It's not really a PvP build but I wouldn't count it out of such a fight... doubt most tacklers could even approach him... not enough damage though. I recommend you try this for a lark and to make an old ship feel new again.

Livia Tarquina	Posted - 2006.03.23 09:00:00 - [117] I'm using this for PvE and it's pretty decent so far.

Overdrive? Im sry, but this setup sucks... Try tanking one thing at a time, and if you want to waste a lowslot (where you could put more tank in) for a speed mod, at least use a nanofiber internal structure (wich are only usefull on pvp frigs tbh), or dont use it at all. Overdrives are only usefull for setting speed records, thats all..
Warzer	Posted - 2006.03.27 06:46:00 - [120] curious what are the benifits (pve) and Negatives, of 1600mm instead of say 800 with harders or active resistance. Currently i am trying the 1600mm and a M armor rep and i must say i like it. I just want to know if it could be better. so far it saved me in an attempted attacked and gave me PLenty of armor to dock at the station.

Lief Siddhe Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2007.03.12 21:35:00 - [131] Well, i am a rookie pilot, but I use this for lvl 2 missions, and occasionally fly as wingman on lvl 3/4 missions.

And my skills are still rather low, still it does its job great. Power to the Vexor! --------------------------------------------- Hey monsieur, could I interest you in a Drop?

Lyn Bunnions	Posted - 2007.03.12 23:25:00 - [132] The setup I figured for BS ratting is Salvager I 4x150mm Prototype I Gauss Gun [40xLead Charge S] Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array Medium Armor Repairer II N-Type Kinetic Hardener I N-Type Thermic Hardener I 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I 3xOgre II Obviously the hardeners can be switched around. I chose a plate over a DC or an EANM because I don't intend on tanking much for the duration, it's just there as a buffer as I get outside of their 20ish km range(not very hard to do). Fairly cheap+doable with my skills. It can tank a 1.8 mill spawn forever and a triple 1.8 spawn for 2 minutes(plenty of time to get the f out of there if need be). It can also kill a 1.8 in around 2 minutes. Basic idea is stay at over 25 km where the average BS rats I'm looking for would be hitting me once in a blue moon, sick the drones on them and add some dps with the rails if it helps. I'm not going for 5 lights/5 heavys since a)3 Ogre IIs do 20% more damage than 5 Hammerhead IIs b) I KNOW what I'm going for and there's little need for adaptability and c) I have the rails for frigs and other crap. + having my main "weapon system" cost as much as the ship I'm flying amuses me :)

Thanks for a very interesting thread! Uhhh, are you an uber EFT-warrior or did you actually equip like 150mil worth of rigs to a t1 cruiser worth 4 mil? The vexor is easy to fit. Here is the mantra of the vexor: big plate, small guns, small rep. Say it again: big plate, small guns, small rep. Use small guns- rails are good for dealing with npc frigs, t2 light neutrons do good damage and are quite useful in actual combat. Most of your damage will always come from the drones. No rigs, no fitting modules FFS.

The vexor is easy to fit. Here is the mantra of the vexor: big plate, small guns, small rep. Say it again: big plate, small guns, small rep. Use small guns- rails are good for dealing with npc frigs, t2 light neutrons do good damage and are quite useful in actual combat. Most of your damage will always come from the drones. No rigs, no fitting modules FFS. For Solo PVP i'll always use the rax with ECM drones, its just that much better. A Vexor is fun to nano, it's not that fast. But it can easily go about 2.5km/s, which is enough to get away from any T1 cruiser but a stabber. Missiles/Drones are a problem tho. Heavy missiles wont do much damage at those speeds but its hard to keep drones and missiles from hitting you. Highslots: (can be changed) My personal preferance is 3x 150mm Railgun II's (Iridium S) 2x medium smartbombs, 1x EMP 1x EXPL(clears drones pretty fast) Medslots: 1x 24km Scrambler 1x Med Injector II with 400's, enough for 1 cycle of MWD and Smartbombs (no need for 800's)make sure to stay over 30% cap at all times when in combat. 1x 10mn MWD II Lowslots: 3x Overdrive II's 1x Nanofiber II Dronebay: 5x Medium II's and 5x Hobgoblin II's.(5x more mediums when trinity hits live) It is pretty fun to fly and not that expensive either. You should pick your fights carefully however. Make sure youre faster then them, stabbers can be dealt with if you do it right: Do your best to stay as close as possible to your drones and hope for the best, you could fit neuts aswell and nuke away his cap. *signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link) - Jacques([email protected]) EVE is like the "Fisherman's Friend" of MMOs. If it's too hard, you are too weak.

When you say 'small' guns - do you mean small hybrid turrets, or just smaller medium hybrid turrets than what I currently have? I want to make sure this Vexor can get me through level 2 missions (assuming that's reasonable), if I fly it correctly. Thanks again. Oh, and what's EFT?
Naviset	Posted - 2007.11.17 23:18:00 - [144] WOW necro. Please start a new thread for trinity.
VicturusTeSaluto	Posted - 2007.11.17 23:18:00 - [145] I'm sure that the nano setup can be fun, but you might as well fly a stabber- since the best thing about a nanoship is the ability to disengage you will not have to worry about leaving your drones behind in stabber. Furthermore, the nano setup is all that effective against properly fitted/piloted ships. You are going to lose your drones pretty easily while orbiting outside of web range, and you will lose your ship if you slow down to try and get your drones back in the bay. Might not be as bad if you want to use some warriors/valks, but it's still not worth it. Not to mention that the plated setup will easily 1v1 almost any other cruiser, and plenty of BC if you play your cards right. The plate setup is also great for quick ganks on a gate/outside a station.
Sonja Vladomirovic	Posted - 2007.11.19 15:31:00 - [146] LOW: I would armor tank it too, but with an 1600mm Plate (+MAR, EAN, DC, or 2 Warpstabs in danger). MED: MWD is a bit useless when fitting plates,so fit AB. Webber is useless (1/2 enemies are faster, they won't come in web range, 1/2 are slower, no need for webbing them), Warp Disruptor is essential. For the last spot: not much CPU left, choose so (cargo scanner, if hunting miners in low sec) HIGH: So U won't have much room for turrets, but I wouldn't fit them anyway: use med Neutralizer, with some small Nosferatus, maybe small turrets, or small remote repper to aid drones RIGS: nothing, except 3 drone mining augmentor
skeandu Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.12.22 16:59:00 - [147] question from a relative noob - how do you guys fly all these drones? my vex can carry a lot but will only let me launch 5 at a time (using hornets in npc level1 just fine, about to go to level2). my drone skills are as follows: combat drone ops 3 drone durability 3 drone interfacing 3 drone nav 5 drone sharpshooting 4 drones 5 scout drone ops 4 with all that, i can still only get 5 launched at one time must be a skill out there i'm missing or is the vex limited to 5 at a time?
nabort Immoral Tendancies	Posted - 2007.12.22 17:03:00 - [148] When they say (for example) 5x Hobgobs and 5x Hammerheads, they mean in the drone bay, not flying out in space Only carriers/motherships can have more than 5 drones out at any one time.
skeandu Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.12.22 23:35:00 - [149] Thanks nabort - that clears up the mystery..
Barbelo Valentinian Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.12.22 23:40:00 - [150] Edited by: Barbelo Valentinian on 22/12/2007 23:40:14 Glad to see Vexor setups still going :) As a 2.3 m sp newbie I've been experimenting with long-range drone control for L2 (+6) missions and it's so easy it's laughable, I don't even have to use my guns (thinking of getting another couple of salvagers on :) ). I just float around at about 30km distance or so, send in the clowns, erm drones, and even just 5 Hobgoblins chew everything up incredibly fast (I engage them target by target with focussed fire). I get shields chipped a bit, and maybe if it gets really hectic or there are lots of missiles flying about I get down to armour, but nothing an occasional rep can't cope with. (Mind you this is with good drone skills - Drones, Drone Nav, Drone Sharpshooting, Drone Scout Operation all to V, Combat Drone Operation to IV, Durability and Interfacing currently at II going to III.) FWIW my build is: 2 x 150mm Railgun Is with Iron (just to aggro and add a bit of extra DPS) 2 x Drone Link Augmentors 1 x named Salvager 1 x YS-thingy Afterburner 1 x Omnidirectional Tracking Link 1 x Drone Nav comp 1 x 1600mm Nanofibre 1 x MAR I 1 x DCU I 1 x ANM What I would like to know is, has anybody tried this sort of long-range drone setup in PvP? My PvP experience has been fun so far, but limited, and I'm curious about "alternative" possibilities PvP-wise. I tried the close-range, webbing + cannons thing, and didn't really like that playstyle very much. I'm kind of lazy and butterfingered, and would prefer to be long-range Drone Queen if possible, but if it's not feasible I'd like to know so I can either resign myself to the close range style or maybe try another race.
