I can confirm a Blaster ferox is very good with null for PvP. Great tank and DPS and range.

Rail ferox is good for level 3 missions.

Honestly, now you can actually fit neutrons and a tank to the Ferox, it isn't that bad of a small gang DPS ship...if your gang includes a logi, and you include an ability to fly the thing properly.

I think that if it feels like a brick, you should fit a nano to it. I've heard people complain about the Cyclone being a slug compared to the nanocane...but then not fitting 2 nanos to the Cyclone. It can go like a scalded cat, and same for the Ferox.

Its the same thing as nanodrake vs brick drake - one can be annoying if you have tackle on the field able to hold down something long enough for the drake's long range to work; the other is a pathetic way to fly. With the Ferox, like all blaster boats, you basically need to do the opposite of a nanodrake and just run straight for the enemy and pew pew them...and overheat your MWD liberally, then OH your scram and web to grab them. Your optimal bonus will greatly help you deal some DPS in a stern chase.

I think the key with the Ferox may in fact be TE's. DPS isn't ZOMGWTFBBQ but with a TE or two people will find it hard to kite you. If they are, well, 5s later you've got Null or Lead in and you have rails-level range anyway.

In fact, I shall have to start rolling a Ferox around, see how I go.

Medium rails suck, and if you are going to run rails, you may as well get a Naga and put the big guns on.


I'm so flying a Ferox on our next roam to prove a point.

I flew in a Ferox fleet back in February and i had fun flying it. The ship did better than i though as well.

If you're using rails on a Ferox you're a lost cause to begin with.

This is the truth In PvP Rails on the Ferox are useless.

Blasters however with a TE has a 20km envelope around it using ions with null will do more damage then 425 ACs with barrage since patch. And you swap to void or anti if you are close to the target for Damage that ACs cannot match.

I usually use a NOS in the last high to counter being neuted.

Its a sluggish beast though.

Good tank, Good DPS, Close range, Slow.

PvE rails work well. If you dont want to train missiles its not much worse then a drake. But level 4s are not really doable in a ferox like you can in a drake. Thats when you move to the Rohk on the progression tree.
