I have to agree with everyone who has mentioned the blarpy so far, also I haven't had any experience with it myself but people seem to like the blokh (I'm sorry, I'll stop adding bl to the start of everything after a while).

Originally by: Cpt Branko although the Drake does both buffer and DPS better then the Ferox
Just having a poke on EFT, pure numbers wise the ferox is only behind by about 10k on effective HP but is ahead on dps and has room for a NOS.
I know drake will be able to lay it's damage out sooner so in game it will be better but I honeslty didn't expect the ferox to fair so well against it in the battle of numbers.
Also with your fit for ferox I'd consider using a T2 MWD, all ions and then a med NOS.

When I was looking at dps numbers I was comparing it to the HML drake, mainly because that's what I fly so it was already loaded into EFT.
I was just thinking the med NOS may be nice because your gona want to be able to run the MWD for a while to try and stay out of range of other people guns and the NOS means that as long as they can still MWD towards you, chances are you still have the cap to MWD away from them.
You still get 7+6.3 with ions which in all fairness isn't bad and enables you to take about 25% less damage from other blasters or projectiles whilst your still at full damage (always assuming you can keep the range around the 7km mark).

yes please do... then come to D5i where my main is, so i can sit at 15k from you in my pretty weak dps rapier set my warrior II's on you, have you scrammed and double webbed just off the gate you jumped through and wait over the next 30mins it takes for me to slow eat through your tank. Oh you will use your drones on me? its ok, i'll remove one web and use that to swat your drones one by one. then get back on to killing you slowly with my soft hands. Oh, you will log? not while your scrammed... but if you do, tis ok, i'll use my probe launcher to track you down
a blaster drake! please....
if your passive super tanked.. is ok.. i have my friendly blob to help me out. I got time, cause your not going to be hitting me.
note; this guy is new, got lots of training to do and pilot skills to learn. Suggest a plausable ship thats not going to get him owned all the time till his skills are up.
I never said a blaster drake, I said a HML drake and seriously, if you ever want to fight one of those in your rapier come and find me, because your either gona have to manage to speed tank my missiles (admitadly possible with good skills, if you try you'd never break my tank though) or run.
Also if you go with your idea about sitting at 15km from a blaster ferox then its guns alone will still do about 150dps to you, I know it's not huge but I bet he can tank you longer than you can tank him.
Yes yould could move out further but then again you could do that against any BC (apart from minny ones with ambit rigs or amarr ones with scorch and maybe an optimal rig) so how does that make the ferox any worse?

Originally by: Jallem Sims But for SOLO... NO to caldari!
You haven't written anything related to lowsec PvP at all.
Also if you honestly belive the sentence above I'll quite happily fight you (using a caldari ship of course) until that idea is beaten out of your head.
Infact yea, caldari ships absolutly suck solo, now would you hurry up and come and fight my crow, or maybe my drake, or even my harpy.

sorry i got confused... for some reason i thought you where talking about blasters on a drake?
No, I was comparing a blaster ferox to a HML drake (what most people consider to be the better caldari solo BC (well actually they consider the HAM drake to be better but I like HML's, purely personal preference)).

Originally by: Jallem Sims again... quoted myself to highlight if not having enough damage i'd call for Back up.
As long as you can tank them this would work against any ship though, and the gallente blaster boats would be much easier than the caldari ones so why do you mention this?
Anyways, I would consider starting off trying caldari blaster boats with the blarpy, that may just be because I like frigs but it's a pretty decent little ship. If you want something bigger than I'd skip the moa and go straight for the ferox tbh.

No-one ever suggested using blasters on a drake, I was comparing how a ferox fitted with blasters matches up to a drake fitted with HML's.
Also can you please point out why the ferox is so much worse than for instance the brutix that it isn't a viable option for lowsec PvP.
