I guess you can do it any way you like, but why are you guys with small guns fitting webs for missions? Can't be needed, can it?
Here's my Vexor setup for lvl 1 and 2 missions, which is sure to seem strange to people. Mind you, I switched to Gallente lvl 1/2 missions in a Vexor from Caldari lvl 3/4 missions with a drake, so my SP's are in all the wrong places, like shields & electronics. Anyway, this works for all the lvl 2's I've done so far. I aggro the whole room with the railgun and launch drones. Then just tractor and salvage until the mission is over. Or go get me a cup of tea. Only small enemies in lvl 1/2 missions, so Hobgoblins for enemy vessels and Hammerheads for structures.
Highs:
2x Tractor
2x Salvager
1x 150mm rail
Meds:
1x Large Extender II (If you don't have ShieldUpgr 4 use an Azeotropic Extender instead, the Regolith is too expensive)
1x Invul field
1x YS-8 Afterburner
Lows.
1600mm Rolled Tungsten
Small repper
Energized Thermic plate
Energized Magnetic plate
The idea is not to sustain a tank, i.e. recharge shields or repair armor as fast as they are dishing out damage. It's to have a large enough buffer to endure the whole mission and repair damage while travelling between missions. If the NPC's are shooting EXP or KIN, the shield holds just fine. If it's EM and THE instead, the shield won't last but the armor will. Angels....Well, haven't come across a tougher angel mission in my Vexor yet. Just Amarr Navy, which hasn't posed a problem.
I thought I'd try loosing the shield mods and one tractor to fit a Sensor Booster (longer targetting range), Omnidirectional tracking link (longer drone range&tracking) as well as a Drone control augmentor (longer drone range). I'm betting that won't work without a med repper, which means I need NOS, which means I'm now limited to one tractor and one salvager. As well as being screwed for NPC's shooting Explosive. Which means I might just get the Myrmidon instead, even if it feels silly for lvl 2 missions. Standings go up soooo slowly, even with Social 4, Connections 3.
If I was rich I'd like to try lvl 3's with a Navy Vexor. That could be fun. I don't think you can make a normal Vexor last long enough for those though :-/
