Ships & Modules

The regular Brutix has an armor rep bonus, which makes it a pretty great, duel rep ship.
The Navy version does not have that bonus though.... Tbh, this is the first time I ever noticed that.

I think that slot layout still makes it an armor tank. 4 mids =
Prop mod
short point
web
cap booster

7 bottom slots gives you a lot of choices, depending on fleet composition.
I'd put
2 mag stabs minimum
DC II
Big gang I'd plateresist it
Small gang I'd still probly duel rep it with resists.

7 high slots =
6 Blasters and a
neut
or warfare link

I fly Brutix's as brawlers for gate camps and such. The T1 version can take gate guns and still be a top damage dealer.
As always...the key is getting in range.

I'd have to do the math on it, but I'm pretty sure any Gallente Navy/Pirate boat can get better EHP out of a hull-buffer fit than an armor fit due to the insane amount of hull they have.

Here's one that works well in small roaming groups where you are your own logi.

High
6x 200mm Railgun II, CN Antimatter
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator

Mids
Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Medium Cap Booster II, Navy Cap Booster 800

Low:
Medium Armor Repairer II
Medium Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste
2x Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Damage Control II

Rigs:
Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Medium Auxillary Nano Pump I
Medium Anti-Explosive Pump I

Does a fairly impressive 588 gun dps without the projection problems of needing to be point blank range like with blasters and tanks fairly well also (use exile booster). The fit has the CPU available to easily swap a mag stab for a second EANM, really depends on whether you want more tank or more dps. I prefer the dps myself. For drones I see two strong options, either put in medium damage drones for over 700 dps with the listed fit or take two waves of lights as even javelin can struggle if a frigate really tries to give you a big hug, although you can probably tank him easily.

For fights involving 3-5 people a side this gives a nice mix of damage, projection, utility and tank.

EDIT: Sorry this is a regular Brutix fit, missed the navy bit. It's certainly much more disposable than a navy Brutix. Either way I don't have the time to put together a navy fit atm. I've actually used the fit given here and it works. I find the navy version is very overpriced for not enough improvement to warrant the cost. I would suggest using rails on the navy Brutix as well. If you get held up by webs in a fight while having blasters fitted it gets very frustrating to not be able to apply your massive dps and with friends it's much easier to not have to worry about little stuff getting under your guns. Besides with webs / javelin / small neut / small drones, you have some pretty decent tools to deal with them anyway plus your tracking bonus will help you as well.

Thanks for the brilliant replies guys.
