==Summary==
== 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.

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.

* [[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.

* [[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.
