Every where I see set ups for a rax that use blasters at close range with hugh amounts of armor and drones. what about rail guns and but a long distance gun boat. Is that just not a good idea with a rax. currently I will doing pve. I would like this ship to be my first ship to take into pvp but I do not want to go in with rail guns if they are a bad idea.
Let me know your thoughts.

rail guns do less damage but have far greater range then blasters. with the MWD bonus blasters are great for the MWD to your target, and wtfbbq them. larger sized rails (the 250mm) generally gimps fitting, so use of an AB would be need to keep an ok tank. if at first your doing PvE then rails are fine, as complexes/deadspace MWD use is a no-go. with pvp, unless your dealing with snipers (for the most part) you want to get in close, and give them a juicy love tap. i.e. popping their ships cherry before yours gets the popping. all in all, do what you feel comfy with. if you feel you can keep your distance from your targets, then rails FTW, but if they are setup for range like you. itll be the same if your both setup for close range, bigger damage/tank wins. if your target is setup for rails, and you can tank long enough to get under his range, then he (or she) is SOL.
Will some one please light a match? It stinks in here!! |

In my oppinion the Thorax with cruiser 5, 5x250mm railgun II's, sensor booster II's, 20km disruptor and lows with 2 Damage mod II's and 2 stabs or what ever you can fit in the last slots is much better & nicer to fly than a blaster rax. All you have to do it lock (upto near 80km with spike) 18+km with regular ammo, shoot at stuff and run away if your gang of similar fitted ships ruptures or maller type thingies. No I dont tank cos I prefer to do insta damage, and railgun II's realy arent liked buy the powergrid of my poor thorax. Sometimes I fit rep drones for other people, small armor repper etc, Eanm II's if I dont fit stabs (with is suicide when takeling a raven with no tank or ab). Stabs = I win 5 cruisers can kill 5 anyother ships unless they run off, engage at you own range and kill their takelers first :)
Although the rax blasters and tech II medium drones is superior for 1v1's
