I don't get it! If the Drake is so UNFAIR, why the hell does everyone not train it up? Since when did everyone in Eve grow a conscience and uber sense of sportsmanship!

Uh, dude? A great number of people do train it up. It's one of the most flown ships in the game. It may actually be the most flown ship in the game (outside of shuttles and rookie ships) if my memory of the recent economic report is right.

Actually as an unexpected side benefit of training for a Tengu, I get the Drake for free.

Ok, I could agree on fun factor - but thats prolly because im in it 95% of the time.
But did u know windrake fit does 760 dps with bonused T2 ammo and drones when u heat the rack. And thats T2 fit AND that isnt at point blank range (where all larger ships have tracking issues) but @ comfortable 15 km...
Is 760 dps really that rubbish?

Second most flow ship after the hulk, the next one is the Kestrel with 11,102 at the time of the QUEN 3 snapshot.

your memory does not serve you right - most flown ship is the Hulk (which is quiet amazing if you consider its SP requirements), Drake is second.

Edited by: Orion GUardian on 02/12/2010 07:58:40 Yes its so flown because its a nice passive tanker for L3s as well...new players train them all the timeand fly them for PvE...
The Drake is not overpowered, its just that its usefulness in MASSIVE BLOBS of 50+ Drakes+Logistics has been seen. The ship wasn't changed and in fact: It was laughed at for useless in PvP for YEARS. And in low number engagements it still is...Speed, regardless of Transversal btw, negates part of the dmg. And there is no module to increase expl. velocity and Expl. Radius other than rigs
BTW: the DPS is with T2 ammo: LOWER Range, higher expl. radius, lower expl velocity and OVERHEATED? So thats as mucha s you get....doesn't sound impressive when you put it that way. Anyone got a Canefit to compare? a GOOD one?
And I'd like to see your 760 DPS drake fit as well....lets see how its EHP/Sig radius/Speed etc fares...
It is a slow mother****er with a sig-radius the size of a Carrier so noone has problems hitting it. The DPS is steady but they are delayed as well. By the time you hit your enemy the first time: He hit you twice already! (Or mor depending on range, his speed etc.) It has a fixed range for its missiles. You cannot change amo to change your Range. HMLs have a nice 70km, HAMLs atmost 15km (no module to increase it as well, but not necessary). SO if you HAM Drake with its 760DPS (maximum, targets speed and sig radius may reduce it greatly) engages someone with a Range of 20km that is faster....he is ****ed....

that is because most players are caldari (arent they?) and it is easy to use but to use it properly you need perfect fitting skills, isk to blow for named stuff and maybe a pg implant. this was always the case and there was never a problem.
also people should keep in mind that kinetic damage is useless against alot of ships.

Don't do that. Seriously, I nearly had a stroke when I saw the title of this thread. I thought they had dropped a drake nerf in with today's hotfix or something.

Drake don't need a smurf, it's fine as is. Big buffer, low DPS, hates Gargamel, end of story.

400 DPS at around 70KM is on-par with every other sniper fit battlecruiser in the game. HAM fits put out decent DPS as well. |

They're not. Caldari have the most players, most players are not caldari.

This is the case for all ships. Drake is exceptionally easy to fit, especially for what they're used most.

No, it's not. And if it was, the drake can freely choose damagetypes. |

Because you need it to build a Claymore/Sleipnir. That's pretty much it really.

You don't deserve to play in MY EVE.
Cataclysm is coming out, why don't you go back to WoW where they give a **** about your ****ty ideas.
And this is why wow has 12 mil subs... eve has... ? 25k + 25k alts.... lol much?
and the whole reason is... ccp doesnt give a **** about players or game balance.
quess what.. i got free 5 day activation.. im back from 12 months break.. Nothing is changed or fixed.. still same old boring bullcrap.
quess if im going to reactivate - prob no. WHY?
ccp so far has never fixed anything all those 4-5 years? and now we get ROCKET BOAS.. fck yea? and... and theeen?

First of all Blizz doesnt give a damn about anyones ideas, Ive played wow for 5 years...
Second Drake is "Imba" if you cant kill it.
TLDR: Stop crying because you die to drakes.

My hurricane, and my blaster brutix of old, both say yes. I only ever find it a problem in a big blob of drakes.
