It works ok. I'd still use a Drake, but if you've gone down the gunnery path...

Get some t2 hams, fit them on your drake, pew pew. It makes a very nice pvp ship.

Missiles will work great in any situation that blasters are fine. Better, maybe, because of tracking and cap.

Ed: Which is to say that missiles sucking at PVP is (and has been for almost 2 years) a lie. Conventional wisdom says: "The Phoon is a great PVP ship!" Know why?

Well, tbh we'll have to see what CCP manages to cook up for missiles, since they're apparently changing them around some since their nano changes are so broad that they've impacted not only BB's but missiles too. But at least ATM, it's not that missiles aren't good for PVP, that's not really it at all. It just all depends. One problem missiles have atm is that against nano fits, often missiles will hit for close to 0 damage, if they hit at all, because the target either can outrun the missile or because the explosion velocity is too low (and heavy precisions blow). Assault launchers with precision lights can do quite well against nanos though.
However, for what you're concerned with (gang dps support), missiles will do fine, and a HAM drake can dish out the hurt quite nicely. If you want an anti-nano ship (a bit late for this, since nanos are getting nerfed to hell), but if you do, look into a cerberus and some assault launchers and perhaps explosion velocity rigs.
In short, HAM drake will do fine.

Blaster-ferox is okay but, really, a HAMDrake is better in every way
So is a Brutix.

I agree with you about Drake, but I think that blaster Ferox is at least on par with Brutix maybe even better that it.

Well I would think; Blasters - Brutix > Ferox Railguns - Ferox > Brutix
That being said though, I know quite a few that use blaster ferox and are quite happy with them. One of the awesome aspects of Eve is after all that you get to play around with modules and fittings. I must confess I even have a Hyperion in my hangar that I never use, but I have it cause I like the way it looks (spinning ships in hangar ftw).
If you want to blaster fit a Ferox, go for it. Sure other stuff can do better, but what does that matter if you want a Ferox.

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 25/08/2008 13:38:56 Blaster Ferox is a quite decent ship, with OK DPS and everything. Much like the Drake, it's not a newbie ship (needs T2 weapon systems even more then the Drake, and both are equally hard to fit).
It loses out on buffer because of one midslot less - it's the curse of all Tier 1 BCs.
Overall, if you're more skilled into gunnery, it's good - but the Drake does objectively outdo it. It is, however, one of the better Tier 1 BCs (yeah, Brutix can do significantly more DPS in a paper-thing configuration, while the Ferox has decent DPS with preety solid buffer, particularly for a Tier 1 BC).

Target radius, and speed affect missiles - less so for blasters.
Null lets you hit someone zipping outside of web range - missiles wont do much.
Drake is still better - not for the sake of weapons, but for the simple fact is has an extra mid slot - so you can tank better.
I still fly a blaster Ferox on occasion though - you tend to avoid being called primary ;) __________________________________________________ Sup brosef! Destry's Lounge is looking for a few good drunks - contact me in game.
