Lost my ferox last weekend in kidnappers (10-10), while trying to kite 4 battleships and 6 crusiers. Level 3 mission? really? Im looking at a vulture fit myself, those extra resists might help me live longer. I was trying to pick off the crusiers 1 by 1 and warp out/repair/warp back. my structure just evaporated though while the warp drive spun up. I have learned to fit a DC2 to my pve fits, cos once those shields go I just melt.
edit: Also considering training my large turret skills and just sitting in a naga until I can jump to a rokh.

Just been playing about with Eft and I cant make a vulture fit thats significantly better then my ferox to justify the extra costs.
Vulture
Damage control 2 beta reactor control shield power relay 1 beta reactor control shield power relay 1 F-aQ phase code tracking subroutine
experimental 10mn afterburner Large F-s9 shield induction Large F-s9 shield induction upgraded thermic dissipation amp upgraded kinetic dissipation amp empty mid slot (no idea what to put here)
5 250m prototype Gauss guns a tractor beam and an empty high slot.
2 meduim core defense field purgers.
So over my ferox, I lose 1 gun, 1 field purger and gain a midslot. I cant see how this would help as I died due to not being able to kill fast enough to get into warp. Maybe if I upskill a bit so I can fit another Large F-s9 shield induction?

no, no mag stabs. the one I lost had 3 power relys in the lows instead of the dc2, has 3 field purgers and uses 6 guns 1 tractor beam. (I cant fit the 7th gun into the turret yet).

Yeah makes sense.... Together with the resists I'm thinking a massive shield tank might be an option. not sure whether to go for active or passive though.
I liked the passive tank as it let me use my cap for my Aburner and guns. I had alot of fun in the lev 3 missions until I got squished. It felt like sometimes I could aggro a room and watch my tank slowly sink to 50%, then watch it slowly rise again to 90% as I killed off the npcs and they couldnt break my tank. the npc battleships though chewed through me so very terribly fast... I dont know if an active tank would have saved me tbh. Theres that much incoming damage in that mission.

Like is the character originally a pure off grid boosting alt for incursions or something? I mean it takes ages to train for command ships now, how do you not have T2 stuff?
I cant fly a vulture yet. I am training "stuff" (highly technical term) though and I've not been putting t2 as a prioty. Meta 4 does most of what I need to do with the advantage of dropping from rats.. I mean being cheap on the market.
Am I doing this wrong btw?

according to a goonwiki I found the vulture is a fleet command ship while the nighthawk is the field command ship.
You would use the vulture in a large fleet. For a small gang of you and a few mates you would use the a field command ship
http://crackerjax.org/gwiki/GoonWIki/wiki.goonfleet.com/Vulture.html
quote: "High 1x Siege Warfare Link - Shield Harmonizing 1x Siege Warfare Link - Shield Efficiency 1x Siege Warfare Link - Active Shielding 1x Improved Cloaking Device II 3x Wildcards - If you're trying to do DPS with this, get in a Field Command ship you idiot Mid 1x 10MN Microwarpdrive II 3x Large Shield Extender II 1x Invulnerability Field II 1x Photon Scattering Field II Low 1x Damage Control II 3x Power Diagnostic System II Rigs 2x Core Defence Field Extender I Implant Siege Warfare Mindlink All these other vulture fits are ******* terrible, a Vulture shouldn't be bothering with DPS or faction and deadspace mods or drone link augs. This one has 229k EHP, and the two important links for shield gangs. The mindlink is very important to your fleet, as it takes your bonuses for the shield links from 17.25% to 25.8%. This ship passive tanks 640 dps, which isn't all much but I guess its worth a couple fewer ships firing at you. Also, a KVA1000 implant only costs you 8m and it brings you another 6k EHP, if you want to pimp it out a bit."
I dont know how accurate this is as I have no idea when it was written.

Should be overkill for level 3's
Though really, the correct answer is to train a drake.....
Why are passive hardeners useless?
I hate missiles with a passion ever since I sat and watched a rat with 2% structure left chew at me for for 35 secs worth of reload time and recover half its shields. I kept thinking if this was pvp, I would be dead.

Ok so after more work and more google (thanks eve uni forums http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=75782&sid=5f9ddef189e2941c81b9a5080dddef31&start=15)
ferox :
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II power diagnostic system II Tracking Enhancer II
Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II Desert heat thermic dissipation field nugget kinetic field experimental 10mn afterburner
6 250mm prototype gauss guns with antimatter
3 medium core defense field purger I
Vulture:
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II
Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II nugget kinetic field nugget kinetic field experimental 10mn afterburner shield recharger II
2 meduim core defense field extenders.
Ferox has dps 259, ehp 37k 68 therm resist and 76% kinetic resist, tanks 124 dps and its cap lasts 6m 37 vulture has dps 243, ehp 56.3k 84% therm resist and 93.8% kinetic resist, tanks 113 dps and it cap lasts 10m 41 secs
If I fit the vulture with 2 kinetic deflection IIs I get cap stable at 46% with 91.5% kin resist. if I get my advanced weapons upgrade enough to fit the 7th gun on the ferox I get 303 dps.
So in conclusion, for a small loss in dps you increase your health pool by 50% and probably take a third of the damage from rats (if my understanding of how resistances work is correct) mobilty and warpout times are so close they aren't worth mentioning and ofc your cap stable with the vulture. Can a vulture do part ten of kidnappers? I have no idea.

I cant speak for the OP, but I've lost my ferox in level 3s. Was looking for better options. I found it by using a heron/tarya and spamming distribtion missions while declining all combat storylines. I've researched the Rokh for level 4s and theres a general agreement its a bad ship for them and I will probably lose that too. Combat missions will have to wait a year until I get round to missile skills.

thanks to the above posters. I appreciate yr words. I was having fun until I got squished and was looking for a solution. Apparantly the solution (according to E survival) was to bring a raven. (http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=KidnappersStrike3gu).
I'll have another go at the combat missions, see if I can make them work for me and my little ferox As far as I can tell though its missiles for pve and guns for pvp. Im balls deep in my gun skills, plus dieing in merlins is fun! espec when I can get a kill :) I cant afford to lose ferox's though..
