In my opinion Vexor navy is not very good at Solo PvP as it lacks the ability to be fast, project damage and prevent a target from fleeing all at the same time - the three keys to a good solo pvp ship.

But none the less I have given a try at making a decent solo PvP fit for you, as with all things in eve, pick your fights it cannot win everything.

Without writing you a huge wall o text of reasons and ways to fly I will be simple.

Targets of choice - Cap using weapon system brawling ships aka Blasters + Lasers. Avoid fast targets as your heated MWD speed is around 2kms. Avoid Missiles / projectiles / drone based ships as you cannot shut down their damage output.

Advice - Perhaps consider training for + paying the extra for an Ishtar if you want to stay within the drone cruiser lineup but be more effective. For true solo PvP big brawlers like this are not standard but will work if you pick targets properly.

A shield fit VNI with bouncers is insanely fast and has amazing projection.

if you wanted to do this why aren't you using an ishtar???

Navy vexor has no spare drones
no built in bonus drone control range
no built in bonuses to sentry drone range
can't carry a spare set of sentries
has one less mid slot
and has lower cpu (a primary limiting factor for sentry snipers)
has only 2/3s the targeting range of an ishtar
and has lower scan res
lower effective shield hp because of resistances
and warps slower

Decent points. But if you're getting navy vexors for 9m, they should all be do-or-die in your face brawlers with ogres.

Other times, cost is a factor. Ishtar was over 200M last I checked. VNI is about 90M on the market. VNI for a Gallente FW member (like me) is approximately 9M. ;)

This is something I have been tinkering around with.

Stats (with Level 5 skills):
- deals ~640 DPS
- moves ~2100 m/sec
- has ~23k EHP (~6k raw shield hp)
- Berserker IIs have ~3k EHP each (about the same as a hull-tanked Taranis)
- Berserker IIs move ~1900 m/sec (~420 m/sec when not MWDing)
- Berserker II tracking is ~0.7 (better than the base tracking of Small Electron Blasters)

Notes:
- lightly tanked, but FAST for a cruiser.
- stay out at range and use speed as much as possible.
- you can change the Heavy Drones to Sentries if you wish.
- use the Energy Neutralizers against anything that gets too close for comfort.
- the Navy Exequor is better in many respects (more range, speed and tank).
- keep spare Heavy/Sentry and Light Drones "just in case."

So how about it in a very small gang?(no more than 5 pilots)

- Berserker II tracking is ~0.7 (better than the base tracking of Small Electron Blasters)

Wait 9m without LP?? or is 9m the isk cost and you have to pay LP?

Even if you are not counting the LP cost you need a hard lesson in opportunity cost, exactly like the miner that builds ships "for free" because he mined the minerals himself.

Don't compare heavy drone tracking to small gun tracking like that, it's not right. The listed tracking value of guns and drones can only be compared within each size class. Heavy drones counts as large weapons (BS weapons) and small guns are of course small.

The listed tracking value for the Berserker doesn't take the size of the guns into account. The Turret Resolution for Heavies are 400m (same as large guns) and for small weapons 40m. So there is a ratio of x10 differance from the size here. This means that even with identical listed tracking values, the small weapons will still track 10 times better.

if without stasis, can heavy drones catch and hit high-speed precisely?

@ OP

In small gang VNI is a fantastic ship as it not longer has to interdict targets itself, I would advise a fit completely different to the Solo buffer tank neut I posted. the Vexor Navy Issues role becomes one of pure DPS

The above fit is solid for a small gang but must be flown carefully as it has only 20k EHP. It is quite fast and can use sentry drones out to 90km. Lock range of 80k - Assign drones to close range gang member if you end up further away.

I would advise carrying ec-600's and warrior IIs in the rest of the dronebay 5 of each. One of VNI major weakness is lack of spare sets of drones so be very careful with them, you CAN and SHOULD carry spares in your cargohold so you can dockup and refill dronebay, enough for 2 full spare sets of bouncers + mediums + lights of your choice in cargo.

Simple to fly, drop drones at desired location - for example on a stargate maybe 20-30km off the gate then burn away. Use MWD to achieve this, the x2 energy neuts are ONLY for defence against ships that get in close and hard tackle you, neut them out and warp away.

Once again this ship and every way to fit it is eclipsed by the Ishtar so I would advise you train towards that. But for small gang that fit should work well just be aware you are a long range ship who does not in any way want to brawl.

5 of these will be hard to break while still dealing high dps against anything that gets close. The AB allows you to sigtank any cruiser weapons or larger, making it even harder to kill your gang. But it does also mean that you lack a MWD which makes them suppar for nullsec pvp and you will have problems killing longrange ships.

If your teammates can't afford VNI, then the standard t1 vexor is fine aswell. You can also mix in a RR celestis to counter enemy ewar, logi and snipers, or an exequror to furthere increase your tank.

I have made a video where VoC ~15 man RR vexor gang is up against a 70man RvB gang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Czve4YwtYQ&feature=youtu.be

Dualrep allows you to keep fighting. All buffer fits will eventually reach 0, but if you use an active tank and can tank the incomming damage then you can go on as long as you got cap boosters for it. So in a solo situation you can manage to kill multiple ships.

I use EFT for that. Once you have made a fit in EFT you click the little triangle next to the "create new setup button" and chose "Copy to clipboard" then you just paste it whereever you want it. EFT can also import text based fits as well. Just select a fit that has been put out in the same format (like one of the ones I have posted) and then copy it. Then tab to EFT and it will come with a popup asking if you want to import that fit.

If so, it seems all buffer fits should not be a first chose in any situation when we solo except that your enemy tends to destroy your cap?

You seem to be rather new to solo pvp and I think it is awesome that you want to do it. Check out the link in my sig. You might get to win a few billions for doing some solo pvp :)
