Ferox is alot better for level 3 missions when you are new. You basicly hit out to 50 km with heavy missiles with very low skills and the ship can tank anything with a passive tank.
Of course people will say its a noob-ship (since it makes things easy), but if you dont care about that (and you shouldnt), its the best ship for level 3 missions ive ever flown.

how is the speed on the ferox? the main problem I've found when trying to do level 3's (easy compared to level 4's) is that it seems like I'm spending more time going and coming back than I am doing anything.
Its very slow. I think i go 165 m/s with navigation 4. Looting is better done with a fast ship after the mission. I usually dont loot since ive probably checked about 200 cans by now and havent ever got anything good for the effort. Maybe ill start looting again at level 4 missions.
If you can afford a battlecruiser, you are really going crazy to loot 100 missiles after approaching the can for 2 minutes.

and any 4-5 frigs will kill you ... :-) it is true that the ferox is maybe easier on skills, but you still need some minimum to make it work which is about reasonable brutix level.
Maybe you are joking, but i still want to make clear that no such thing will happen. Ive had 8 frigates orbiting and shooting me while i deal with the cruisers and its no problem for the ferox. Their damage is weak. I usually equip 2 small projectile guns as well to kill off those pesky frigates.

ofc, and what were your gunnery skills ? how long did it take ? you find 2-3 elite frigs in a l3 mission and you are screwed.
My gunnery skills are very bad. I think i have Gunnery 3 and Small Projectile 3 right now. Missiles are my primary weapon.
Actually i have found 2-3 elite frigates on a level 3 mission. Those were very annoying and i used to have to switch to assault launchers with light missiles to kill them, but with the help of the 2 guns, they go down alot quicker. I was talking about normal frigates above. The elite ones are difficult, but not impossible and i will never - ever - die to them since their damage still suck.
