I'm currently using my thorax for level one and two missions and the drones do their part well, my main problem however is my main guns can't hit the little frigates. I need suggestions on a new gun to solve my accuracy problems and a lesson in tracking speed.
My ship setup is:
High power:
4x Heavy Ion Blaster 1
1x Salvager 1
Med:
3x Large Shield Extender 1 (8.1k shield with them, and I rather keep them and get smaller guns rather than replace one with a webber)
Low:
2x Power Diagnostic System 1
2x Shield Power Relay 1
1x Tracking Enhancer 1

For starters, you should be armor tanked, so in your mids you can put an afterburner or a web or a tracking computer, or cap rechargers, etc.
Your lows should be a medium armor rep and hardeners/damage mods. If you're doing lvl 1's, just put smaller guns on it. If you're doing level 2's, why go back to level ones at all?

Ah, another shield thorax.
I personally, think the Vexor is better off as a mission ship.
You have 2 sets of drones, more now due to the bandwidth and bay changes.
No ammo consumption and you get up to 45 km range with just scout drone op 5. damge type selection and cap to a pure tank. Not to mention you have 5 highs to do what you want with.
However, if you're still set on using a thorax, I would fit rails to it, not blasters, with no web/ab(mwd is useless in deadspace)
If you fit rails, you will have some tracking issues, but you can fit mods to counterbalance that.
*goes to fiddle with eft to find a decent setup*

Reason for thorax is its powergrid supports the three shield extenders in addition to med. weapons if desired, to remedy my problem I fit:
4x 280mm howitzer artillery 1
This way the only cap usage is used by is the warp drive

Just as an update my setup seemed to work perfectly when I went ratting in .3 today, didn't get blow 75% shields in part to they had a regen rate of 16.5 per second, only problem encountered was when a pirate deimos warped on top of me and proceeded to scramble me to hell, resulting in my first view of the new Hi-res pod. had it fully insured and no tech 2 stuff on it, so I broke out about even with insurance.
