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 a dedicated drone boat.

The Vexor is also a great ship to use for salvaging missions as they are completed. By using | The Vexor is also a great ship to use for salvaging missions as they are completed. By using a Salvager, 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 | 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. | ||
==Skills== | == Skills == | ||
' | * {{sk|Drones| V}}: You shouldn't get into the Vexor until you have this. You'll be killing your DPS and it is a lossmail waiting to happen. | ||
* {{sk|Drone Interfacing| III}}: '''(IV ideally)''' 10% increase in drone damage per level? What are you waiting for? Get this yesterday. | |||
{{ | * {{sk|Drone Navigation | III}}: to fit the Drone Navigation Computer (+25% drone speed) and provide an increase of 5% per level. Reduce the travel time of drones to your target. | ||
{{ | * {{sk|Drone Sharpshooting | III}}: '''(get IV ASAP)''' Increases optimal range of drones, they start shooting at your target sooner. | ||
{{ | * {{sk|Light Drone Operation| V}} and {{sk|Medium Drone Operation| V}}: Both give 5% increase to their drone type. Get them ASAP; they give you access to T2 Light and Medium Drones, respectively. | ||
==Tactics== | * {{sk|Drone Avionics| III}}: Another very important skill. At V, your drones will have an engagement sphere of 45km. At III, you can fit the Drone Link Augmentor in a high slot, increasing drone control range +20km per module fit. This lets you engage kiters/snipers. Get it to V if you are a serious droneboater. For even more range (and access to E-War drones!), continue into {{sk|Advanced Drone Avionics}}. | ||
'' | |||
* {{sk|Heavy Drone Operation| V}}: 5% increase to damage of Heavy drones. Very important when fighting big ships with T2 Heavy drones at Level V. Note your bandwidth can't support a full flight of 5. | |||
You should not neglect your {{sk|Gunnery}} either. Combining both can make the Vexor have crazy amounts of dps for a ship its size. | |||
== Tactics == | |||
'''PvP''' | |||
If you're coming from the [[Algos]] (and conventional MMO master/minion tactical thinking), you might think your drones must do the fighting for you, while you sit back and direct them like a conductor. The Vexor can make a useful contribution doing this, and in a solo situation against a kiting target you may be forced to do this. | |||
That said, the Vexor has a remarkably high potential damage output for a T1 cruiser, and to get that potential out of the Vexor you need to do the exact opposite. Closing in on the enemy, a fit with bonused blasters backed by good [[Support skills|support]] and [[Fitting skills|fitting]] skills can act as a sixth drone, melting opponents. Even with Meta 4 guns, mid-range drone skills and T1 drones, you could be pumping out over 450DPS in a buffer shield-tanked Vexor. Move into T2 drones and you start breaking 500+DPS. | |||
A fit with projectile turrets and an energy neutralizer can add significant turret DPS by closing range, and, with few other demands on its capacitor, can [[Capacitor warfare|drain]] small- and medium-sized ships' energy. A single medium neut can cause serious problems to many frigates, potentially shutting down their tank and/or tackle and/or DPS. | |||
The PvP Vexor can mount a buffer shield tank, a buffer armor tank, or an active armor tank. The shield buffer Vexor is high on DPS, as damage-amplifying modules can be fitted in the abundant low slots, but light on EHP; expect to do a lot of damage, but not to stay on field very long once you are primaried. The armor buffer on a Vexor can achieve very impressive EHP for a T1 cruiser, second only to the Maller, and still deliver over 500DPS with good skills. An active armor tank with a cap booster and two armor repairers is possible, and can prove its worth in 1v1 or ''very''-small-gang situations, but requires more pilot management and will struggle with the incoming DPS from anything larger than a very limited group of small enemies. | |||
All-in-all the Vexor is a classic "droneboat", and has a droneboat's strengths and weaknesses: powerful capacitor-independent DPS, tactical flexibility from multiple drone flights, and a variety of viable fittings, balanced by drone travel time, drone vulnerability, and the problem of preserving drone connections in fights which involve long strung-out ranges or frequent tactical warps. | |||
'''PvE''' | |||
In PvE, fitting two-three blasters and a drone link augmentor would do the job. The selectable damage types of drones gives the Vexor great flexibility in PvE. | |||
