Hello everyone, I have a Vexor Navy and I’m trying to do level 3 missions with it.
Can anyone recommend any ship fittings for doing the missions?
Sorry for my English, I’m using a translator.
Right now, this is my ship.
It’s been a while for me, but I remember using Battlecruiser.
It might work with VNI, but you don’t have Repair in your fitting. Is that intentional? Because I would guess that it won’t work without it.
Are you familiar with sites like EVE Workbench
In level 2 missions, I didn’t need to repair anything
That’s why I don’t have it equipped.
Now I’m going to check out EVE Workbench.
Passive shield tank and 50MN to stay away from enemies can work, but doesn’t use the strengths the Vexor Navy Issue has over the Vexor: armor repair bonuses and strong hybrid guns.
You may be able to deal more damage and clear the sites faster up close with 10MN afterburner, blasters and active armor tank in addition to your drones.
Maybe give that a try?

This seems like a usually recommended fit for Nullsec ratting, where it probably works pretty well. IMO for missions you might need a bit more tank, because you will recieve somewhat more damage due to mission-specific cicumstances and the rats will aggro your drones if you try to send them off too far while keeping distance.
Because of your drone choice I assume that you are using an alpha account and probably run missions versus either Sansha or Blood Raiders. Look at this fit:

At max alpha skills with this the ship can run all of its modules indefinetely, moving at 622 m/s speed, which should be enough to keep comfortable distance and move around. The guns don’t do a lot of damage, but its essentially free as it costs no ammo and projects to a bit more than 30 km with an instant ammo change for more damage at closer distances. Good enough to destroy some weak frigates that would otherwise distract your drones and add some dps vs cruisers.
Tank in general is 3 times better than with your fit and almost 5 times as good vs Blood Raiders and Sansha.
Drones track better and move faster to their target, so you should be able to use mediums vs frigs if you don’t want to pull them in for some reason and get less DPS downtime while they move around.
You could fit an MWD and a third CCC I to pulse the MWD to gain distance when needed, otherwise everything together would run for 3-4 minutes.
If you run missions vs other factions you could fit medium rails and shoot Iridium M for a bit higher damage at the same range(but the ammo adds some light costs).
p.s.: I intentionally left out small drones. In general, use whatever you feel you have the skills for and will do the most damage. Obviously, at the same skill level, different kinds of drones are better vs respective factions.
Do use small drones!
With 75 mbit/s you can use 3 heavy drones, but you get more damage and better application by using 2 heavies, 2 mediums and 1 light drone instead!
Also I think it’s a waste of very strong hybrid weapon bonuses to put lasers on a Vexor Navy Issue hull. T1 ammo isn’t expensive enough that you need to go cheap with lasers.
Maybe try something like this?
[Vexor Navy Issue, Hybrids and active armor]
Reactive Armor Hardener
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Multispectrum Energized Membrane II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Denny Enduring Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Tracking Speed Script
Drone Navigation Computer I
Large Compact Pb-Acid Cap Battery
10MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner
250mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M

Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I
Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Acolyte I x1
Acolyte I x2
Infiltrator I x2
Infiltrator I x2
Praetor I x2

Or if you notice you don’t need the Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I or Medium Ancillary Current Router I depending on skills, you can use more Nano Pump rigs. Or those Capacitor Control Circuits, those weren’t a bad idea either.

I’d settle for something much faster.
