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.

* [[Skills:Drones#Drones|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|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.


* [[Skills:Drones#Drone Interfacing|Drone Interfacing III]]: '''(IV ideally)''' 10% increase in drone damage per level? What are you waiting for? Get this yesterday.
* {{sk|Drone Interfacing| III}}: '''(IV ideally)''' 10% increase in drone damage per level? What are you waiting for? Get this yesterday.


* [[Skills:Drones#Drone Navigation|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 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.


* [[Skills:Drones#Drone Sharpshooting|Drone Sharpshooting III]]: '''(get IV ASAP)''' Increases optimal range of drones, they start shooting at your target sooner.
* {{sk|Drone Sharpshooting | III}}: '''(get IV ASAP)''' Increases optimal range of drones, they start shooting at your target sooner.


* [[Skills:Drones#Light Drone Operation|Light Drone Operation V]] and [[Skills:Drones#Medium Drone Operation|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.
* {{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.


* [[Skills:Drones#Drone Avionics|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 [[Skills:Drones#Advanced Drone Interfacing|Advanced Drone Avionics]]

* [[Skills:Drones#Heavy Drone Operation|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 [[Skills:Gunnery|Gunnery]] either. Combining both can make the Vexor have crazy amounts of dps for a ship its size.
