Now im thinking about trying highsec combat sites...Those should be easy right?

Or i dunno if thorax is better or maybe a navy comet i can do that one too its not so expensive... And also if u can share some fits for vexor or some other affordable ship to do this with. Thx
Solecist Project All Glory to the HypnoBoobs 14670	Posted - 2015.01.11 01:11:16 - [2] - Quote Another Crendraven. Yes, the vexor is a good ship for it, just like most others. That's assuming you know how not to lose* it. Good day.

Unsuccessful At Everything The Troll Bridge 19184	Posted - 2015.01.11 01:22:16 - [3] - Quote I would ask in Ships and Modules about fits for missioning in whatever ship you decide to use. As for which ship to use, it depends entirely on which direction you are going in weapons training. Thorax is a great gunboat, while the Vexor is a great droneboat. *Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?* Vote Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10!
Grauth Thorner Vicious Trading Company 382	Posted - 2015.01.11 12:43:40 - [4] - Quote It also depends on the particular combat site. When pointed one down, gather intel about the site. For some sites you might want/need a battlecruiser, for others a cruiser or even a frigate would be better/needed because it's faster or because you can't warp into the site in certain ships.

J'Poll Green Skull LLC 5396	Posted - 2015.01.11 13:28:36 - [5] - Quote It really depends (as usual when you ask: Is this ship is good). EVE is a situational answer rich enviroment. In some situations, a Vexor can be a great ship. In others, it's a flying coffin waiting to happen. It also heavily depends on your character skillpoints, how you fit the ship, your player skills and what combat site you are taking on.

I got my first Gila like, three months in the game. And the three months prior I got my feet wet flying a Gnosis. Nudging the OP into looking for a slightly expensive ship that preforms well with lower skills in Highsec sites is relevant!

What dont you follow about how 1 month olds shouldnt be buying and flying expensive pirate battlecruisers and cruisers? Maybe he should just buy some plex and fit a nightmare instead? Sounds legit

Working towards a Navy Vexor is even better. Here is a fit from Eve Uni Navy Vexor Site Runner. In the meantime, fit what you can on your Vexor.

That's not a stupid idea. I've run DED 3/10 and 4/10, and even some low sec unrated sites in a passive shield tanked vexor. It allows you to stash the lows with drone damage mods, and you don't have to worry about cap. I prefer a passive shield tanked rml caracal though, that thing is a beast vs frigates.
Theodoric Darkwind Enlightened Industries Goonswarm Federation 315	Posted - 2015.01.12 07:42:35 - [13] - Quote Vexor should be fine for highsec DED sites. Provided you can fit a T2 tank and use T2 light/med drones and have some idea of how to fit a Vexor it should work nicely.
Inxentas Ultramar Ultramar Independent Contracting 1675	Posted - 2015.01.12 08:47:06 - [14] - Quote What I like about the Vexor for PVE is that thanks to drones you are not stuck with a certain damage type. What I dislike about it is drone micromanagement. There is no "best" in Eve Online since everything is relative to something else. The Gila is a nice suggestion for later. Performance in any T2 is suboptimal with low skills. No matter how sensible that flat bonus looks, it's an expensive toy to lose running hisec content. You don't particularly need a Gila do do highsec DEDs. As far as I know highsec has DED's up to level 4.

Thx In hisec sites, you want to be fast. There is a lot of competition out there. You will be losing to Gilas, Cerbs, Navy Vexors... Flying a Vexor will not allow you into the smaller sites, so your available sites just got limited. I would suggest investing in a faction frigate and master your skills. You will be able to do all hisec data/relic/combat sites (with a few exceptions) and the experience will benefit you in your Eve experience. My preference is an Astero, but you could use a Worm, Garmur or whatever meets your taste and budget. If you are just after the loot pinata at the end of the site, there is nothing better than swooping into a DED4 with a frigate and stealing the prize from under an OP cruiser's nose Just my opinion...
Phaedron Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 52	Posted - 2015.01.12 12:49:07 - [16] - Quote a frigate will do in most circumstances, any T1 will do the job, the more difficult use destroyer and harder still cruiser. you'll rarely need a battlecruiser though for High Sec exploration. once you hit low sec you might want to use something more specialized to meet your needs.
Groover Crendraven HC - HugGiver 2	Posted - 2015.01.12 12:51:07 - [17] - Quote I guess i ll try with the vexor see what happens I cant fly anything much more expensive cause i have 0 experience with combat sites and if i dont loose a ship to rats i probably will to someone else,i have around 120 mil isk and i could maybe buy a navy vexor but if i loose that im pretty much fu**ed. I already lost around 20 ships so i know how easy u can loose it
Brutus Utama The European Project Guardians of Serenity 0	Posted - 2015.01.12 13:22:18 - [18] - Quote Vexor should be fine, will take a couple of sites to get used to it i would start with 3/10 sites..

Thx If you've invested in drone skills a VNI with Geckos, AB for speed tanking if vs missile rats and faction specific resists (stack resists vs the faction whose sites you are running) can run 4/10s without too much trouble. You need 5-600 dps to quickly kill the commander rat at the end of 4/10s; I did Phi Outposts (Serpentis 4/10) for a few months using VNI with 1 repper, thermic + kinetic hardener and 3 DDA's. 3/10s and below are stupid easy as long as you keep moving. Just be careful with your geckos it's quite deoressing to lose one to npc's

Don't forget to check for Escalations in your journal, too.
Shiloh Templeton Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 222	Posted - 2015.01.12 17:01:02 - [21] - Quote Groover Crendraven wrote: I cant fly anything much more expensive cause i have 0 experience with combat sites and if i dont loose a ship to rats i probably will to someone else,i have around 120 mil isk and i could maybe buy a navy vexor Wait on the navy vexor until you have more isk. Consider spending extra money for faction drones, especially sentries, until you can fit T2 versions. To avoid losing to rats, be ready to warp out when you get to half armor. Also, make sure you maintain range - don't let rats get close unless you know you can tank all their DPS. You probably won't lose ships to other players while doing PVE in a Vexor. But you will see more experienced players warp into your site and beat you to the faction loot at the end. Not worth getting mad at them at this stage -- try to learn how they blitz the final room instead.
Sabriz Adoudel Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 4358	Posted - 2015.01.13 05:04:59 - [22] - Quote A Vexor with a fit that's mostly well-chosen tech 2 modules is powerful enough to serve you well in PVE while being cheap enough that (quite soon) you won't care if you lose a few. The skills you train to fly the Vexor well will also serve you well in the future if you fly the Vexor Navy Issue, Ishtar, Gila or Dominix, all of which are powerful, versatile ships. Of course, if you can't afford to lose a Vexor, don't fly one. You will know your tolerance for loss - for me, I won't undock in a ship over 2 billion ISK and I exercise extreme care in any ship over 500 million. Depending upon your resources, you might do well to divide those numbers by 50 or 100. Chaos. Opportunity. Destruction. Excitement... Vote #1 Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10
