Retribution T1 Cruisers - Part 2 - The Vexor

Part 2 -
Vexor
Although less popular than the Rupture, the Vexor still did see some utilization pre Retribution. A combination of drones and blasters made this a versatile boat that could, in the right circumstances, deliver an awesome amount of damage.

Here is a Shield Vexor:
[Vexor, Shield Vexor]
Damage Control II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Beta Reactor Control: Reaction Control I
Overdrive Injector System II

Experimental 10MN MicroWarpdrive I
Large Shield Extender II

Warp Disruptor II

Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

Ogre II x2
Hammerhead II x2
Hobgoblin II x1
Warrior II x5
Hornet EC-300 x5





736 DPS! Almost 800 DPS overheated, this ship delivers a ton of hurt. It is fast too, Even without the overdrive it is faster than a Rupture and many attack cruisers. What is nice though is the ability to project damage. With bonused drones, even at range this ship can deliver a punch. And if the target gets close, BAMM, in come the neutron blasters. A strong tank completes this devastating picture. A shield Vexor is a deadly ship indeed.

Let us now look at Armour

Here is the Armour Vexor:
[Vexor, Armour Vexor]
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Damage Control II
1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II

Experimental 10MN MicroWarpdrive I
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I

Heavy Electron Blaster II, Void M

Medium Trimark Armor Pump I

Ogre II x2
Hammerhead II x2
Hobgoblin II x1
Hornet EC-300 x5
Warrior II x5


Even more so than the Rupture, the Armour Vexor is a tough nut. The extra EANM gives this ship battlecruiser class EHP and the blaster/drone combination gives it battlecruiser class DPS. With the two webs, anything caught withing 13 km (overheated range) is going to find itself in a fight for it's life. Not the fastest ship in the world, but much faster than pre-retribution.

tl;dr: The Vexor is probably now the king of the tech-1 cruisers. Devastating in almost any circumstance.

Check back tomorrow when we cover the Moa.
