One of the most maligned battlecruisers in existance, the Ferox is best described as a niche ship. It is, in essence, a better looking and beefed up Moa and it shows. Often times this ship is bought either as a stopgap replacement or as a component to build the Tech 2 Caldari command cruisers.

That stated, there are a few niches that the Ferox has been used as, and has proven to be suprisingly resillient in. The first is Gas Harvesting. With the proliferation of wormholes and the need to collect fullerides for production, the ability of the Ferox to tank as well as operate a full collection of harvesters made it a popular choice. Coupled with its low price tag it is often seen roaming gas clouds, sucking up everything in reach.

The second one, a far rarer fit is that of the mobile exploring cruiser. Fitted with hacking, salvaging and archeological modules as well as a probe it offers an interesting attempt to be able to run any high-security site with a single hull. While unable to access the smaller combat sites it can handle any other site in high security with ease, affording pilots the ability to run a site the moment they discover it.
