Why would it be?
It's slow as hell and has low dps compared to the other BCs, this is balance.
For PvP the extra tank is useless anyway cos no-one hits em first so almost all drake pilots with a brain fit EW in 2-3 mids reducing it's tank to not much more than that of a 'cane with a lot lower DPS. -The sword is only as sharp as the one who wields it. Drenzul (My normal internet tag) |

if they nerf the tank of the drake, internal systems fail, and the eve cluster will cause a nuclear reaction which will result in all the citizens of iceland becoming horribly disfigured and mutated, right before their whole country sinks into the ocean which they then pollute with nuclear substances, concurrently destroying both eve online and the world as we know it.
eco systems will collapse worldwide, dinosaurs will come out of hiding, and meteors will rain death upon us for ten thousand years.
so no.

Considering it can't do much else besides either
A) Tank the snot out of anything that moves but have marshmallow missiles in return.
OR
B) Run a very limited list of PvP builds that have no room for deviation and are all too entirely predictable.
I fail to see how the Drake really has any balance issues at all. It would be different if you saw 2-3 Fal...*clears throat* I mean Drakes in every gang and every small to medium sized engagement depended on which gang had more or better Falc...*cough* excuse me!, Drake pilots than the other.

Is the Drake "balanced" in terms of more tank = less DPS? Yes.
Is it also boring as hell to shoot and even more boring to fly because of how much of a useless tank it is? Yes.
IMO the Drake isn't "game-breaking", but it would benefit from a rebalancing.

Confirming, your gang will always be **** at pvp, if you continue to run lazymode gangs.
Now that might seem like a troll but it's not.
Nobody can deny that the Drake is awesome for what is is, and it should never be nerfed because it's so good, that's obsurd. Basicly Drakes have huge tanks, shoot missiles have a cookie cutter fit, and actually require no skill to fly. There simple for what they are, but then there aimed for simple minds hehe :P

The Drake's tank is fkn overrated. Yeah my Drake has a pretty wicked buffer tank, but any decent BC fit does. You can tank just as well with a Myrm, almost as well with a Harby but with more DPS. Get over it, so the Caldari actually have a pvp viable ship.

Edited by: Tippia on 01/07/2010 19:40:28 What's absurd about it, and why should it be nerfed? Will the other tier 2 BCs receive the same treatment?

Indeed. They're basically very nice rookie pilot ships to earn some decent ISK with! After that you can train other races and learn some slightly more challenging but also more rewarding things.
Keep the Drake as it is!

I see your drake swarm and raise you afterburner armor hacs. Cut's through drakes like a knife through butter. And -A- fleets twice the size of our fleet with 18 guardians to our 6

Drake is a decent way for people to learn pvp imo, gets you into the basics with a low sp count, but isn't something you should always fly as there are better ships out there.
They can still be used efficiently, in small gangs with the correct setup I.E Scimi's/Drake/Tackle can take on...say a BS fleet AND win, this is due to the amount of tank you can get on a drake and a mix of HAM/Heavy dps.
Drake can do pretty impressive dps not great but impressive, not the best dps for a bc by far but it can do well and hold its own, Drake with a point and web, and hams will pretty much caus havoc (if your able to get in range that is)
I think in all fairness its fine as it is, it suffers dps/HAM range but has an outstanding tank, there are plenty of other ships that don't have that privilege, such as the brutix, AWSOME blaster dps, crap range, pathetic tank abilities, (pretty much die getting to your opponent, oh and crap all dps with rails.

Sure, because the Caldari sacrifice of tank for tackle isn't enough already.

the Drake seems like a great ship for pvp, you can use it to run some missions to make money back after loosing other ships in pvp. =)

You want CCP to intentionally unbalance the game so you can see people cry?
You must not be able to do it yourself.
In response to question at hand, why would they? Its balanced nicely. This is clearly a signature. |
