If your Drake isn't passive, you aren't doing it right :P
Lows:
4x Shield Power Relay IIs
Med:
3x Shield Extender IIs
1x Kin Resist Amp II
1x Therm Resist Amp II
1x EM Resist Amp II
High:
Full rack of missile launchers
Rigs:
3x Shield Extenders
Drones:
5x Hobgoblin IIs
The point of a Drake is to die slowly, you're a support ship, you're not going to be doing that much DPS, but you're not going to die.

The point of a Drake is to die slowly, it's really not a good PVP ship. If you do fit it out to be a good PVP ship, then you'll have to remove all of its passive tank, which is what it's so amazing at doing, and then you're defeating the point of the drake. You're much better off choosing a different ship.

Meh, never mind, people shouldn't listen to me, I really don't know that much about Drakes, I've just been going with a passive set up, should change that some time soon, I usually just fly smaller ships (much smaller loss if you get blown up)

 Originally by: Saaya Illirie
I wonder how effective an ewar drake would be in a gang... gotta buy one. Considering the fact that the stereotype runs: "Drakes are tough kills", the Drake has plenty of mid slots to put a massive ewar compliment on. The stigma that it's a tough kill would be defense enough, and allow it to ignore it's mediocre dps to do something else quite effectively. Granted it might not ECM like a falcon, it could tracking disrupt AND sensor damp at the same time like a mofo... damp up an inty then fk over the optimal range of a BS all from the safety of a belief Drakes are tough to kill.
The problem here is, and correct me if I'm wrong, that if the enemy FC is decent, he'll realize what you're doing, and you'll be dead pretty quick. So, the whole thing about it not getting primaried in a fight because it's so hard to kill will become irrelevant once they realize you're not running a rudely powerful tank.
