==Summary==

~~The~~ Vexor Navy Issue ~~is the best cruiser-size~~ drone ~~platform out there~~, ~~save perhaps for the [[Gila]]~~. ~~Compared to the [[Vexor]], the~~ bandwidth has been ~~increased from 75~~ to ~~125 Mbit~~/~~s and the drone bay from 125 to 200 m3 while the medium hybrid turret damage bonus has been replaced by a drone speed bonus. This allows the Vexor Navy Issue to carry and fly a full set of small~~, ~~medium and large drones. With good drone skills this ship can out damage many~~ of ~~its rivals, using large drones against large targets, and small drones against frigates.~~

In July 2019, the Vexor Navy Issue was changed from a glass cannon drone boat to a tanky, brawling focused fit. It's previous bandwidth that could control 5 heavy or sentry drones has been reduced down to 3 heavies/sentries, so capsuleers now must make use of the damage bonused turret slots alongside drones to get the strong DPS amount it could get before.

~~The main problem, especially against small ships, is~~ the ~~danger of getting your~~ drones ~~picked off one after the other. Consider using a tracking disruptor with a tracking speed script~~ to ~~minimize this risk. Also, if~~ the ~~targets are expected to be far, consider replacing the large drones by Sentry Drones~~.

'''June 2019 Release - 2019-07-25.1 - Released 2019-07-25'''

''This version of the ship has become extremely dominant in the specific niche of farming nullsec anomalies, making it one of the most commonly flown ships in the game. The VNI has an excellent combination of dps, mobility, ease of use, and price making it the obvious choice for anomaly running. For the same reasons, the VNI has also become one of the most commonly used ships among those who break the rules by engaging in botting.

''Whenever a ship becomes this dominant in a specific role, it has the unfortunate side effect of crowding out other options and making the choice of what ship to fly less interesting. We have made a series of small tweaks to the VNI over time in an attempt to gradually reduce its dominance, however we have now concluded that the best path forward is a larger revamp of the VNI’s design.''

''This revamp will carve out a new and different niche for the VNI, allowing it to remain an exciting and powerful ship without dominating the world of anomaly ratting.''

* New bonuses:

:*10% bonus to Drone hitpoints, damage, and tracking speed (was 10% HP/Damage/Mining and 5% tracking)

:*10% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage and tracking speed (new)

:*7.5% bonus to armor repair amount (new)

* CPU increased from 310 tf to 350 tf (+40 tf)

* Powergrid increased from 800 MW to 850 MW (+50 MW)

* Turret count increased from 2 to 3 (+1)

* Max velocity reduced from 220 m/s to 210 m/s (-10 m/s)

* Inertia modifier increased from 0.44 to 0.51 (+0.07)

* Mass reduced from 11,310,000 kg to 9,700,000 kg (-1,160,000 kg)

** Align time reduced from 6.9 s to 6.86 s (-0.04 s)

* Drone bandwidth reduced from 125 MBit/sec to 75 Mbit/sec (-50 Mbit/sec)

* Signature radius reduced from 145 m to 130 m (-15 m)

'''APRIL 2019 RELEASE APRIL 9TH 2019'''

*Bonus to Drone Maximum Velocity removed
