| If you're taking on a Vexor in a frigate or destroyer, you're probably going to have a bad time. Despite the fact that light drones mean lower maximum dps, they also happen to be very good at hitting those tight orbiting frigates that medium turrets can't. Thankfully even light drones have problems staying close to fast moving targets, so if you're able to orbit wide and quickly (think 4km/s or more) you should be able to reduce drone damage substantially. If you're flying a brawler, you're going to need to rely on tank - and luck - to stay alive until the drones have been cleared. Remember that the Vexor's drones are up to 50% tougher than normal, and that it will usually be carrying multiple flights of them. The standard choice is to carry one max-damage flight, and either two light or one light and one ECM. However some pilots will use a full flight of mediums as their main dps option, with both a second medium flight and one light, or multiple wings of light drones, in reserve. | If you're taking on a Vexor in a frigate or destroyer, you're probably going to have a bad time.

| - | It's important to keep in mind that drones only account for part of the Vexor's damage output, and killing them won't do you much good unless you can evade its turret damage too. Regardless of what you're flying, your first priority should be getting outside or under those blasters, then you can deal with the drones. The former is fairly easy, the latter is very hard - particularly if you're facing an armor Vexor which is almost guaranteed to have one web, and quite likely to have two. If you're flying a cruiser or larger, clearing drones is generally not a priority; if you can evade the Vexor's turrets, it's usually better to simply go for the ship and burn it down as quickly as possible. This is especially true if you're facing the shield variant - these are notoriously fragile, with some variants going as low as a single slot shield tank in order to mount a web. The armor version is tougher - similar to an armor Rupture or a Moa - but as long as you can keep outside web range it shouldn't be insurmountable.. | + | It's important to keep in mind that drones only account for part of the Vexor's damage output, and killing them won't do you much good unless you can evade its turret damage too.
