I love the ship and want to move up to level 4's with it.

(I know there are better ships to run 4's with,as I have a Rattler character already)

How would you fit it and which drones would you use.
I always dual box two characters.

Thanks

Was thinking Sniper with Warden II's.

If you want to be effective without moving up in ship size, this is fun to dual box. But you have to micromanage a lot.

That was a very funny loadout, but also had some good ideas.

A funny loadout indeed. While I wouldn't want to take the navy vexor into a L4, I primarily do them in an Ishtar, where the extra optimal and control range come in very handy. I run a cap stable loadout with 3 omnis, an afterburner and a cap recharger, a medium armor repper, about 2 eanms, and drone damage amps. No guns, but a single drone link thingy. When I get into the swing of things I sometimes switch out some armor resistance for more drone damage amps.

Edit: And my rigs are sentry damage rigs.

Additional edit: If you really want to stick to the Vexor Navy Issue, I suppose I'd stick to the fit I described for my Ishtar, but with one less drone damage amp, and one less omni, and perhaps swap one of the sentry damage rigs out for two other rigs, maybe armor repair amount or something.

It's not at all a good fit, it uses small reppers which is a bit silly with low overall repping, they also have low range. It also has terrible resists.

cruisers have very low sig too, so they can take a whole bunch of abuse before going under. ishtar is probably better due to the extra drone bay and resists, but with some remote rep, hardeners, and kick ass drones the navy vexor probably isn't all that bad.

and pairing them just seems to make it all the better.

Sentry rigs are pretty terrible due to sharing stacking penalties with Drone Damage Amplifiers.

If you have two DDAs the first sentry rig is OK (+5.7% damage).
But if you have three, the first sentry rig is only ~+2.7% damage and the second is only +~1%. Yet you still incur the full penalty for them - penalizing CPU on a CPU-limited ship.
