I can use medium sized rails or medium sized blasters. Which rails or turrets should I get? I'm currently doing L2 agent missions.
I notice the blasters optimal range is quite poor, I would have to be close to the enemy. That's not easy in a Ferox, its slow.
I'm currently using 5 heavy missile launchers but I've encountered some enemies I don't hurt enough with heavy missiles. Its time to upgrade my guns, any suggestions?

it most cases you won't be going to them in a slow boat, you could use blasters and a web to take out craft that some in close while using heavy missles to strike out faraway.
However I personaly would go with railgun and just keep your distance, distance in PvE is key.
and having an effective counter to small ships.
but level 2 missions should be easy :)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah they are easy. I'm on this one that requires me to scout the area and not engage pirates. However....I wanted to engage hehe. They were strong ships that soacked up my heavy missile attack and my Ferox shields basically lasted about 35 seconds....

The mission name is recon i'm assuming? 1 of 3?
My suggestion... don't even try...
I'm currently sitting around 20mil sp, most in gallente/caldari. However, i took a harbinger into that mission to test it out (friend got the mission), and even that was unable to run it. The only things that i can think of short of a battleship that can do that mission via killing things is either a drake (full passive tank) or a HAC. Thankfully, the lvl 4 version is much easier to go the killing path (though... it did almost break the tank of a gank fit astarte... thats what only 1 MAR does for you :P)

I have done it in a Hurricane without breaking a sweat but I guess it depends on what you set your ship up for and how well you can fly it. Drake can also do it but it needs damage assistance to take things down.
As for the Op, Guns will not help you much. You would NEED blasters to make a big difference because the Ferox like so many of the Caldaris' worthless ships does not give a Damage Bonus. If you really want to plug those suckers get a Drake instead for one thing, and for two learn up your missile skills more and fit some Ballistic Controls to increase your DPS with them. Drones do not hurt either if you can fit a small swarm of Tech II's.
Those boats you are after are tough though so you may still find it hard to plug them without some assistance, I would suggest if you REALLY want to take them down then go with Gallente's Uber ships (like the Myrm for instance) or switch on over to Minmatar but if you do that be prepaired for a MUCH different style of combat.

ive had one lvl2 mission which requires you to investigate some disturbance, and when you approach the ruins, a ton of enemy faction cruisers/BCs/turrets all spawn and will pop your ship unless you warp out.
and unless you want to collect the bounties on the recon arc, all 3 can be done in a frig with an AB and a rep, and a couple of cap mods, giving you 500K+ with decent quality agent for 5 mins |

But the blaster optimal range is useless...it requires me to get close to the enemy which is hard in a ferox because the thing is like on old school bus...
What about heavy missiles turrets. my current ones have to be at about 35KM to hit. Yet I took 80-100 damage from a heavy missile today from a CPU player at 80KM. Any idea what turret they'd be using? I could just snipe them then...

it is a well known fact that NPCs cheat, and the ability to hit you from increadibly far out is one of these cheats
