I'm a bit off from the ship itself but I want to start getting a list together so I can start working on it for when I get there. Primarilly for PvE mission running but im open to PvP setups. Any ideas?

I put this together in about 25 Seconds at work, it's a very rough start, i encourage someone to make it better for alpha, i don't know if alphas can use other drones other than their own faction, if so movement can be made there esp for PVP as I would think EM or explosive drones based on what your fighting.

It assumes a nearly max skilled alpha, which is what you should be jumping into this thing.

Target Painters are for those small ships in PVE that T1 Hammers will struggle with, you could most likley toss a web on there as well maybe instead. You could also throw some light drones in there, and toss them out for smaller targets.

The idea is range and active armor tank.

I don't anything about PVP fits for this boat, that idea as an alpha would terrify me, as it's pretty expensive killmail for an alpha.


Best of luck, I have this feeling that VNI is one of the best alpha available ships out there.

I have a visual of 5 VNI's in a Worlds Colleide Level 4, all on Discord, drunk pilots having a great time.

This is where my mind went. Not completely sold on the rigs, but not really sure what else to put there. Could go with cap rigs and make it cap stable, polycarbons for extra speed/agility, or hyperspatials for extra warp speed. I don't really like the drone rigs avaialbe plus drone rigs hammer your CPU and being limited to training the rigging skill to 2 it seems like too much. Also being limited to medium drones is a real buzzkill on the navy vexor.

I'd use the cruiser speed and agility to try and avoid most incoming damage so the tank should be sufficient for level 3 missions, heck it should be sufficient to face tank most of them. Also your drones don't care about your speed/positioning to apply damage. The railguns are there mostly to get aggro, but can also be used to add damage to targets, or snipe off incoming ships.

I'd also be tempted to look at the vanilla t1 vexor, and fit with all damage mods in the lows (3 dda 2 magstabs) and 4 railguns in the highs for max damage, then go with a shield tank. This fitting style fits very well on the gnosis, looks like gal/amarr alpha characters have a very solid high dps alpha gnosis.

Same tank and DPS vs Kin/Therm as VNI above. Just set "keep at range" at 20 km and spam it at all the things.

I suggest also trying to see whether you'd like to fly it with 2 magnetic field stabilizers instead of DDAs or if you go mostly full drone damage with 2x drone navigation computers in the mids. I prefer mostly a gun focus and will change to 2 MFS, because drone aggro is really annoying sometimes. It's about the same DPS between gun-centric and drone-centric fits anyway, after you take in account drone travel times.
