Development
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.

Skills

Get a T2 tank! 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.

Drone Interfacing III: (IV ideally) 10% increase in drone damage per level? What are you waiting for? Get this yesterday.

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.

Drone Sharpshooting III: (get IV ASAP) Increases optimal range of drones, they start shooting at your target sooner.

Light Drone Operation V and 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.

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 Advanced Drone Avionics

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 Gunnery either. Combining both can make the Vexor have crazy amounts of dps for a ship its size.

  • As fitted, with all skills at V and before boosts, this Vexor has 14 K EHP, flies at 630 m/s (810 m/s overheated) and align in 8.1 s with AB on. The ship is cap stable.
  • Damage varies between 450 dps at 9 + 7.5 km with Caldari Navy Antimatter and 360 dps at 29 + 7.5 km with Caldari Navy Iron. Drones contribute about 70 - 80% of the overall damage, so good drone skills are a must.

  • If you can't use Ogre II's then just go with a full flight of Hammerhead II's and various flights of light drones like Warrior II's and Hobgoblin II's.
  • Burn onto the primary target, then turn off your MWD and orbit nice and close.
  • If you cannot fit this, drop a Trimark rig for a Medium Ancillary Current Router.
  • Tech 1 guns are fine (Limited Electron's are cheap), but don't skimp on the T2 tank!

  • The Hornet EC-300 can be handy to disengage from fights, but are completely optional. If you don't wish to train up Electronic Warfare and Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing to use them, you can replace them by hobgoblins instead to have some spare light drones.


Tactics

PVP --- If you're coming from the Algos (and conventional MMO master/minion tactical thinking), you think your drones must do the fighting for you, whilst you sit back and direct them like a conductor. To get the maximum potential out of the Vexor you need to do the exact opposite. Think of yourself as a sixth drone - that charges into the enemy alongside your five other drones and melts them with blasters. It takes a bit of time, due to the drone support skills and fitting skills that's required beforehand, but you could have a Vexor that will make its presence felt every time it steps onto the battlefield. Even with Meta 4 guns, pre-T2 gunnery, mid-range drone skills and T1 drones, you could be pumping out over 450dps in a Shield Vexor. Move into T2 drones and you start breaking 500+dps.

The shield Vexor is high on DPS, 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 Vexor is a mainstay of fleet PvP. With a tank second only to the Maller, but still capable of putting out over 500DPS with good skills, a Vexor is a welcome addition to any armor brawler fleet.

Notes

This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement, PYOS, BYOM, and Mining Loaner Fleet programs.
