Is it fruitful to put rigors on a Drake and use furies against cruiser hulls?

Not in my experience.
Cruisers die to regular heavies easily enough. If you have T2 drones to handle the frigates, the only thing Drake is slow in killing is battleships.

Worked well on my nighthawk. it used to work well vs frigs too, till they nerfed the sig radius bonus to a useless velocity bonus. Oh no you don't! Incoming witty reply, ETA: 300 seconds! |

Feasible, but you'll need a minimum 3x T1 Rigors to make it worthwhile. You'll also need a faction fit to reduce CPU overhead.
Example (just a quick build from EFT, Guristas profile) :
[Drake, Active Rigor Fit] Damage Control II Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System
Pithi B-Type Small Shield Booster Domination Heat Dissipation Amplifier Domination Kinetic Deflection Amplifier Ballistic Deflection Field II Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Small Tractor Beam I

Not too bad really. |

Great idea to go active tank... my attempts to PST without shield rigs weren't looking so hot. How much are domination amplifiers and pithi b-type smalls? (I can look when I get home from work I guess.) I know CN BCU are pretty pricy, but domination stuff is cheap-ish right?
Here's what I'm looking at now:
[Drake, 00 pve rigor]
Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II
10MN Afterburner II Pithi B-Type Small Shield Booster Domination Heat Dissipation Amplifier Domination Kinetic Deflection Amplifier Domination Kinetic Deflection Amplifier Domination Kinetic Deflection Amplifier
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile
Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst I Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst I Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst I
DPS is about 400 with my skills, with an explosion radius of 124 m. That should hit cruisers for full damage. It'll tank 250 DPS vs. Guristas which is much less than a passive Drake with shield rigs, but given the increased damage is probably enough to do all anomalies.
Note: the AB *really* helps reduce incoming damage in anoms, for anyone who doesn't already know.

QFT.
Drakes chew through frigs and cruisers easily enough without rigors. (you have light drones available too)
If you're going to sacrifice your passive tank for better damage ... install missile damage rigs or bay accelerator rigs to improve damage against battleships.

Except that these are terribly penalized when stacked with BCU

Edited by: Sturmwolke on 02/03/2010 21:36:28 I doubt the AB will be of much help, if it does, the impact is probably minimal. You already have a BS sig radius when running Furies and you can't run the AB forever with an active tank. I'd fit the AB if the mobility is needed, else an extra tank slot is probably better.
The key part to the fit is really the shield booster. What works well here are Gistii-Bs, Pithi-Bs or Pithum-Cs. Once that has been decided, the rest is more or less juggling things round to get to where you want it in tank vs price vs dps.
Run the missile formula for damage estimation. I think you're a wee bit shy of full damage for cruiser orbits > 175 m/s or greater.

I am new to the game and so not certain of many things, but I promise you that AB is extremely valuable when using a Drake to run Haven and Sanctum anomalies.
The faction amplifiers are necessary for CPU purposes.
Explosion velocity (with my skills) is 136 m/s, so that's pretty reasonable for cruisers I think.
