Fendrick	Posted - 2006.04.30 22:11:00 - [1] Looked at a couple of posts here for a Ferox with missiles - anyone use a Ferox with rails?... what would be a good setup for such a config -0 say 5x200mm rails and 2 launchers in highslots - would would be good in med and low?
Ghoest	Posted - 2006.04.30 22:39:00 - [2] Here is a set up for running lvl 3s 5 250s 2 heavies 1 Medium T2 shield booster 1 Medium AB 2 Faction specific hardeners 1 Large shield extender(trust me the extender helps on missions even though you active tank.) 0-2 tracking enhancers 2-4 PDS 5 small drones Use as much T2 gear as you are able but the T2 shield booster is really important. This set up does all lvl 3s extremely fast with no warp outs. Wherever you went - here you are.
Kery Nysell	Posted - 2006.04.30 22:42:00 - [3] Edited by: Kery Nysell on 30/04/2006 22:43:12 I use a Rail-Ferox, and I'm not the only one ... A Missile-Ferox needs far less skills and can mount a tremendous passive shield tank, and that's why it's more popular, but anyway, here's my setup : HIGHs : 5x 250mm Railguns + 2x Arbalest Assault Launchers (no skills for T2 yet ...). MEDS : 10 MN AB 2, Medium Shield Booster 2, Shield Boost Amplifier, 2x Invulnerability Field 2. LOWs : 4x Power Diags 2. Dronebay : 5 Light Drones. With Battlecruisers 3 and the 2 Invulns running, I get between 60 and 80 in the shield's resistances, I use the Launchers and the Drones for anything that manage to get too close for the tracking of my 250's (not much ...), and I can do every lvl 3 mission while half-asleep ... But I have good tanking and fitting skills, those can make a huge difference. I've not done any PvP it, but I read somewhere in this board that a Rail-Ferox could take on some big 'rats in the lowsec/0.0 belts, and defend itself in PvP too ...
Marcus Alkhaar	Posted - 2006.05.01 10:00:00 - [4] Ferox Rail setup: 5x 250mm II 2x "Arbalest" Heavy Missile Launcher 1x 10mn AB (named, PG issues) 2x Invul Field II 1x Large Shield Extender II 1x Target Painter II 3x Power Diagnostic system II 1x Magnetic Field Stabilizer II it should give you about 37 hp/sec with max skills and implants - 1x medium shield booster II = 30hp/sec, which is enough to deal with lvl 3 missions. Railgun DPS: 164.5 Drone DPS: 84 Launcher DPS: 44 Total DPS: 292.5 it should rip any lvl 3 mission if you just know how to handle the spawn, though I havent tried it
Shi Mun	Posted - 2006.05.01 10:15:00 - [5] My railox set-up is similar to that one but with a few changes HIGH - 5x 250mm named railgun 2x Arbalest Assault launchers MED - Med Shield Booster t2 Shield Boost Amp Invulnerability Field 2 Large Regolith F-S9 SHield Induction Eutectic Cap Recharger LOW - 2x Power Diagnostic 2 2x Magnetic Field Stabilizer 2 Accompanied with vespas/hammerheads that set-up can deal with most if not all lvl3 missions. If you find that the cap drains too fast for your liking, u can swap out the mag stab 2s for more pdu's.
swoj	Posted - 2006.05.01 10:56:00 - [6] I find lvl3s fairly straight forward in my rail Ferox. similar set up to most of the above 5 x 250mm II 2 x Heavies 10mn AB II Large Shield booster II 2 (or 3 depending on mission) hardeners Webber/Painter/Cap recharger (mission dependant) can't remember lows, but think it mainly PDU and RCU 5 x drones This tanks NPCs well and still deals enough damage.
Don Carn'age	Posted - 2006.05.01 11:20:00 - [7] I use missiles on my ferox, I am not going to post my setup due to the fact i pirate in it and dont want everyone to know but my ferox can passive tank a raven firing em torps. Don Carn'age CEO Black Vice

Eros Warsteiner	Posted - 2006.05.04 15:25:00 - [9] It's good to see rail setups on Ferox's for a change.

Clit c0mmander	Posted - 2006.05.04 16:15:00 - [11] For pvp, 250's suck unless your sniping. I don't fly one but if i did i would fit the standard setup for sniping. That would take that range bonus and use it too. H: 5 250's M: 2/3 sensor boosters, 2/3 tracking comps L: 3 mag stabs, 1 pdu or a tracking enhancer (depending on if you need it for **** to fit) then fit the remaining to highs w/ whatever you want
Cruz	Posted - 2006.05.04 16:24:00 - [12] It's a nice ship imo, the optimal range of 250s with antimatter ammo is very good also. Be warned though, you need very good medium hybrid skills to take out the 600k+ BS's And you definetly want tech II rails. .................
GC13	Posted - 2006.05.04 17:07:00 - [13] What am I doing wrong with my railox setup? I can't seem to get a good DPS, period! 161 DPS with assumed darn near max rail skills, and antimatter. I don't know if it was counting the missiles, but meh. Oh well, at least it tanks like a SOB. 5x 200mm rail II 2x Assault launcher II 1x Med Shield Boost II 1x Shield Boost Amplifier 2x Invulnerability Field II 1x Stasis Webifier (maybe replace with Warp Disruptor) 3x Magnetic Field Stabilizer II 1x Damage Control II What am I doing wrong? --- New to Eve?

Try 250mmIIs and a tracking computer, however don't forget that the ferrox does not get a damage bonus, it gets a tanking and optimal range bonus. Also, the ferrox lends itself far better to passive tanking than active. sgb C6 is recruiting ... visit www.c6-eve.com or join channel c-6 for details.
GC13	Posted - 2006.05.04 17:39:00 - [15] Valid points. I did the math though, and found that the 250mms gave a +5% DPS bonus for +25% fitting. Going down to 200mms sacrificed a decent amount of range, but very little actual damage, and allowed me to fit either the Damage Control or another damage mod. The passive tank, I do think about. Heck, I could not change a thing, except swap out my shield booster and the boost amplifier for two large shield boosters. That's over 4k more shields (more than 100 seconds of boosting!) for no loss of anything, and a gain of capacitor. But I'm not doing anything wrong in the damage area? I think that's a relief. --- New to Eve? Interested in manufacturing stuff, or doing research on blueprints? Check out my fully-updated Science and Industry guide.
FireFoxx80	Posted - 2006.05.04 17:51:00 - [16] Ferox makes a superb long-range platform. 5x250mm's, some tracking enhancers, signal boosters, and magnetic stabilisers; can easily chuck hybrid ammo near 100km. Useful in fleet ops, sit up with the battleships, use the spare highs for remote armour reppers/gang mods.
Eros Warsteiner	Posted - 2006.05.09 13:55:00 - [17] I haven't tried mine yet, waiting for Drones 5 to get done. But here's what I plan to use for missions. 5 250mm II 2 Assault Limos 2 Large Shield Extenders II 2 Active Hardeners II 1 Med Shield Booster II 3 PDU II 1 Mag Stab II
