Sure. Rail fits seem to be the most common for L4s.
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Rails are a waste of a Vindicator, other weapon systems are better for sniping.
Highs: 8x. neutron Blaster II
Mids: 4x Cap Recharger II 500mn MWD II
Lows 2x Faction Large Armor Repair 2x Energized hardeners 3x Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizers
Rigs Capacitor Control II Capacitor Control I Capacitor Control I
Charges: 25x Hobgoblin II 12,000x Null L 12,000x Void L
Good DPS, can run any two of the active modules indefinitely and it's a cakewalk on L4's |

For L4 missions, blasters are a complete waste of time on the Vindicator. Rails have even proven to be superior on the Kronos, so take it for what it's worth from those of us who have run both in hundreds and hundreds of missions...

I'd agree if you said beams, in a straight times race doing the same mission I'll bet I'd clear it quicker than a rail fit would, Post your fit, I'm open to the idea that they could work, I've just never seen happy numbers from rail gums compared to what I can manage with beams on a nightmare or howitzers on a Maelstrom. |

OP if you are running mission to max ISK / LP then you might want to consider the Machariel instead of the Vindicator. If you are running missions simply because you want to then the Vindicator like every other BS In the game will do just fine.

I have flown Vindicators and Kronos in both rail and blaster fits and in god only knows how many missions, in fact a blaster fit Kronos is one of my favored ships because up close and in your face. However, due to range and slightly better damage selection the rails would be the superior choice for most mission runners interested in either of these hulls.
If you like blasters then by all means fly them and have fun. |

For L4 clearing missions long-range weapons will always outperform short-range versions, with the exception of 800mm autocannons. It doesn't matter if it's a Marauder, Faction, T1 or T2 battleship. I've run everything on L4s - including every possible combination of short and long-range weapons - and by and large long-range weapons simply outperform their short-range counterparts.

I'm certain it's definitely a safer way to fly. Do you have a Vindy rail fit that you use? |

I haven't flown a Vindicator since I trained into a Kronos - mainly because the operating costs in terms of ammunition and capacitor use are drastically less with the Kronos, and you can run a very decent tank with 2-3 modules. I had been running blaster fits but switched over to rails after reading some feedback from others which convinced me that rails were the way to go.

If you want to use rails for Level 4 missions (let's say because you trained large hybrids and rail spec. to 5) what was the best battleship to use apart from a Kronos? A micro jumping Rokh? Dominix (Navy Issue) with Sentries? Or the Vindicater that might or might not be better with blasters but is still the best ship to use with rails too? |

Definately not a Rokh. Probably a Vindicator or a Megathron (although Vindicators are fairly reasonable in price). I have mixed feelings on dual-weapon setups (Rattlesnake, Navy Dominix, Nestor) because you have to allocate most or all of the lows to damage modules.

If you have balls and isk, give this a try :), if you have maxed out skills, this thing with proper implants can push 2000+ DPS. If you have even bigger balls, then remove stasis web or invul, fit cap booster, and change rigs to extra range / damage. |

What exactly do you plan on hitting at a maximum range of 20-25km with Void? Yes, the DPS is impressive on paper. But that's maybe to a range of 10km - if you're lucky. The Kronos fares the best with blasters, but even still there are exremely few scenarios where you can effectively utilize them.

M8, it's not a very useful ship, but you can have fun with it. Start with Null, take out small stuff , change to void, blap BS. But tbh to run Lvl4 you dont need Vindicator. You need Tengu for blitzing and other ships to run burners. |
