So, I'm flying a Caracal and will soon be certified to fly a Ferox. Should I get one or stick with the Caracal?
If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
Ferox is good.

Is it choice?
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 7:29 pm
I'll be shy of having the means, but I'll have the skills for a Ferox in about 2 hours or less as I'm finishing Starship Command 4 right now and only have Battleship 1 to go.
I figured that's the ship you guys use for PvP so I'd better get one. I just wasn't sure if I should get one to run missions or keep the caracal for that.
If the Ferox will be my ship of choice for a while, I'd like to get 2. One to keep where I run missions and one where you guys are located for PvP. That way I can just run back and forth via shuttle and not worry too much about dying.

You should be doing missions in your ferox where we are located. There are two level 2 agents and 1 level 3 agent. Right next door is a level 4. You are then a hop/skip/jump from the 0.0 space we play in. No reason for you to not be where we are.
Troy has been driving a Blackbird into combat last few runs. Blackbird is the Caracal's PvP sibling. So, ferox is not manditory for PvP. Ferox is perfect for level 3 missions as well. Caracal is possible for level 3's, but it's really much harder.
Keep in mind that insurance is a little over 7 million for the ferox. So, 32 million is actually the startup costs for the ferox. Lots of beginner equipment for it as well in the corp hangar where we are. Where are you, and why are you way over there?

Ferox does not require battleship 1.,...

Dude, if you are about to train Battleship, I'd say skip the Ferox and go with the really pimped ride of a BS.
'Course that takes a lot of squeeze.

Speaking of Battleships, didn't Catt just score one? Is it ever going to see any PvP action?

1) You just need BC. Although, get as many levels as you can (at least level 3) in order to make your Ferox better.
2) Let me/Troy know how much you need. Be sure to insure the thing for platinum (costs 7mil)
3) Move to Oipo. Everyone should be in Oipo
4) Yes, I trained my BS. It's only better than my BC in that is has more HP than the BC, and more slots. It will be in pvp.... a while from now. I can't drive it well enough.
I can, however, solo level 4s in a Ferox, so $ is quick. I scored 23k LP running just SIX missions. (about 15 hours of work). Bounties, minerals etc of $60mil, and I got a 30mil implant offer for 15k LP.

I misread. I'm training Battlecruiser 1, just about done too.
So with a Ferox, I can leave level 2 missions?My agent has been good to me, but I want some tougher fights.

Absolutely, just be careful. I do level 4 mission solo in my Ferox, so level 3 is not an issue.
Ferox mission config:
5xHeavy missiles (XR-3200s)
2x250mm Guns (compressed coil, whatever you can afford)
1xAfterburner (10mn)
2xShield Hardener (see below)
1xShield Booster
1xWhatever u want (webber, cap recharger, 3rd resist are what I use)
2xBCS
2xPDS
Drones - at least 3 scout drones.
Get Drones level 3 so you can carry drones for the little ships.
Shield hardeners to use:
Guristas - 2xKinetic (I may have said explosive accidentally in the other thread) (If you go 3, use 2xKinetic 1xThermal). Use Kinetic missiles (Scourge)
Angels - 1xMulti 1xExplosive; use Explosive missiles (Havoc)
Blood Raider - 1xEM 1xThermal; use EM missiles (Thunderbolts)
Minmatar - 2xmultil use Thermal missiles (Widowmaker(?))
Sansha's Nation - 1xEM 1xThermal; use EM missiles (Thunderbolts)
Drones - 2xmulti; use EM or Thermal missiles (Thunderbolts/Windomaker(?))
Always have a warp lined up

I sold the BS today. I lost about 2mil on the transaction, but it was worth it just to try the ship out.
I think I'm going to try a Scorpion BS (8 midslots) for some pvp.

You didn't like your Raven?
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 12:55 pm
I liked it, but I need a month or 3 to get enough skills to make it useful enough. And losing it would mean not being able to afford to replace it right now.You didn't like your Raven?
Whereas I can loses feroxes all day long
