Ferox fitting...

Well, as Aciiid had some questions regarding fitting his Ferox and I am not exactly the best person to ask, I thought I would post the suggestion from scrapheap challenge here and give Req and the other specialists a chance to weigh in. :)

Shamelessly stolen from Scrapheap Challenge:

*********************************
Beta Reactor Control: Diagnostic System I

Hobgoblin II x5

Got a bit over 300 dps and a decent tank.

Let's see what other people make of this. :) And this is to give Aciiid some ideas, so he can do those level 3 missions easily from now on. :)

The Drake is a better BC than the Ferox in almost every way. If you want a BC that fits hybrids then fly a Brutix which has better bonuses for them.

If you really must have a Ferox then I'd go for one of these:


[Ferox, Blasterrox]
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Damage Control II
Shield Power Relay II

10MN Afterburner II
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Invulnerability Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Large Shield Extender II

Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
[empty high slot]

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Requires AWU V to fit. Swap the Neutrons for Ions/Electrons depending on what will fit. This is designed to get in the face of the enemy and unload as much damage as possible. Works at ranges up to 10km.

If you want a sniper Ferox then do something like this:

[Ferox, Sniperrox]
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Reactor Control Unit II

Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Sensor Booster II
Tracking Computer II
Tracking Computer II
10MN Afterburner II

250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
250mm Railgun II, Iridium Charge M
[empty high slot]

Medium Hybrid Locus Coordinator I
Medium Hybrid Locus Coordinator I
Medium Hybrid Collision Accelerator I

Locks to 97km with a 90km optimal. You don't need a tank because you'll kill things before they can even target you. You'll need to be mobile and use your AB to keep at range otherwise you will suffer if anything bigger than a cruiser gets under your guns.

DPS is about half of the blaster boat above but you are engaging almost 10 times further out.

However if you want hybrids on a BC then use this:

[Brutix, Blasterix]
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Damage Control II
Medium Armor Repairer II

Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution

Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M
Salvager I

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Hybrid Collision Accelerator I

Kicks out more DPS than both the Feroxes combined, is faster (marginally), has better specific resists than the Blasterrox and about twice the EHP of the Sniperrox.

I concur about the Drake like i mentioned in chat yesterday. It probably one of the best ships I have ever owned for lvl3 and some early lvl4 missions. a missile boat which I used as a passive tank. loved it.
this ship will last you a long time while you get your skills up.

Well, Aciiid already has the Xerox and not enough money to buy either a new ship or a lot of T2 stuff, yet. To get there, he needs to do lvl 3 missions for a good while and for that he needs a good effective fit. :)

yes, thanks. I could barely afford even that one which was why i got it, had I known i'd have gone for the other bc.

I'm working my way up the kit and skill training ladder slowly, but had no idea what I was really doing when i baught it.

I've spec'ed mostly missiles though, so i've put 5 heavy missile launchers on i and 2 dual 150mm guns on it as cpu is at 97% and i couln't fit bigger ones. Least they'll keep the frigs busy.....

Big Thanks to Dara for lending me the cash to actually buy some T2 items, I've gone for 2 t2 shield extenders and the AB and the Malketh (sp?) launchers for the mo and will get some t2 resist items later (11k shields should hold them off till i can get to t3 missions :p)

PS is there a way of listing your ship spec as I can't see a way of exporting it, evemon does a great skill line up but no ship stuff....

rofl on the 90k min range thingie... can you even see that far ?????

Ive said it before and ill say it again : those of you who can handle lvl 4 missions should run them for the gang and share bounties and rewards.... nuff said.

Hell if one of the lower levels camps out in a salvager and mops things up whilst were destroying everything we then share the loots aftwerwards as well.

Even if all you can fly are frigates, you can deal with those whilst i handle the BS, BC's etc. since i often have to switch drones about whilst i deal with pesky little mites nipping at my toes.

Then there wont be any of this "doesnt have enough cash lark" everyone gets the rep with the agent so they can be on level 4s probably in a couple of weeks of doing this.

i should be about tonight so if anyone wants to try it out come to Auvergne and join me. ive yet to find a lvl 4 i cannot solo tank with drones so there shouldnt be a threat if you let me get aggro first.

And then once there are 4 of us doing level 4s we just grab one each and go and hammer them one afte rthe other. 4 BS's in a decent gang for lvl 4s and we will rip through em.

I for one am not confident of being able to tank all level 4 missions. I am low on skills for lvl 4 missions and while I can solo about 90% of the missions I have seen so far, I had to decline a number of them and even abort some that I could not do. Those I do take about twice the time that Req and some others said they complete them in, because I have to be careful not to get overwhelmed.

That's why I did not take anybody along, because I cannot ensure their safety, as I can't even ensure my own atm. But let me know how the teaming thing works for you. Once I have enough skills to have a better survivability, I can tank lvl 4 missions for the team, too.

if thats cap stable with the extenders, missile launchers and repper running then nice :)

that said, bar that amarr mission ive yet to have an issue with not being able to handle the damage in a mission. But normally i dont do drone missions so that would be useful with those i think.

However we can definately give it ago :)
