The Vexor is a strong combat ship that is also geared to operate in a variety of other roles. The Vexor is especially useful for surveying in potentially hostile sectors as it can stay on duty for a very long time before having to return to base. Furthermore, it is well capable of defending itself against even concentrated attacks. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Vexor is a dedicated drone boat. It has 75mb of drone bandwidth, allowing it to field a mixed flight of medium and heavy drones at a time, and has the drone bay to carry a few replacements or an additional flight of light drones. This gives the Vexor great flexibility for long roams, where it can carry a full flight of medium and light damage drones, as well as a flight of light repair or EWAR drones to deploy as the situation dictates. While the Vexor has a bonus to hybrid guns, this can be ignored if desired due to a large amount of the Vexor's DPS coming from drones anyway, and Vexors with autocannons, nosferatu and/or neutralisers are common. With 4 mids and 5 lows Vexors are most often armor tanked.
The Vexor is also a great ship to use for salvaging missions as they are completed. By using 2 Salvagers, a Small Tractor Beam, a Drone Link Augmentor and a single Hybrid Turret (to draw aggro) in the high slots a moderately drone-skilled capsuleer can securely complete level 2 missions while salvaging. Salvaging level 2 missions is debatably profitable however the salvage/mission fit Vexor can complete level 2s in respectable time when compared to a straight mission fit Vexor.
Among t1 cruisers the Vexor is a little more skill demanding than the Thorax. In particular you should not get a Vexor unless you have at least Drones 4 and should make getting Drones 5 a high priority.

- With Electronics V, Weapon Upgrades V, and a Electronics EE-601 implant, you can trade the Electron blasters for Ion.
- If engaging smaller targets, or you can't used T2 heavies, swap mixed heavy/med/light drone flight for more med/light choices or Vespa EC-600s.
- The resist rigs were chosen instead of extenders because the EHP is nearly the same with them, but they are much cheaper than field extenders.

- Armor fit has more EHP than shield, but is slower and does less damage.

- Tag pirates with sensor dampener in order to keep attention away from drones. Then, launch the drones.
- Cheap, but able to handle most high and (quiet) low sec exploration, radar, and mag sites.
- Drones handle most pirates in even low sec radar and mag sites.
- 100% of damage is from drones, so reasonable drones skills are required.
- Adjust drone loadout for local pirate faction.
