Hi I've been reading post about how the drake doesnt pack a punch but it can take a punch is this correct if so is there some way how it can really do some damage?

Unfortunately, not really. When it comes down to it, a Drake will always tank like a champion but hit like a schoolgirl.
A small, sheltered, preppy schoolgirl.
So, get a Raven. It doesn't tank as well as a Drake, but it does more respectable DPS.
Though, I will ask after all of this, what do you intend to do with it?

It's quite easy to tweak the damage/tank ratio, but indeed, it's much easier to increase tank rather than increase damage. It deals less damage than other race's battlecruisers (especially when using heavy missiles), but it deals it at a much better range (even with HAMs).

I use a drake for L4s, may be a bit slower than a CNR, but I don't have Caldari BS or Cruise Missile skill. I can tank so well, however, that I can go AFK in the middle of a mission and come back without worrying about dying. That kind of security makes me confident enough to fit it with all kinds of expensive meta 8/faction items to increase DPS. |

Hmm, your getting bad information here, the Drake has some of the best dps of any batlecruiser and can tear other BCs apart. Having said that you will need good skills and to fit heavy assault launchers for the best dps. Mine can do close on 600dps, dont believe all it can do is tank, thats a load of rubbish.
You can get the 600dps with a 19,000hp buffer tank, MWD and scram.

Edited by: Davinel Lulinvega on 27/06/2009 01:54:09 Fit hams and 3 bcu. Does around 600 dps.
Sounds like you've been talking to passive tanking carebears too much.

One more thing, if your going to be using it in 0.0 for gate camps then you probably want a regular heavy launcher drake, by the time you MWD into range your target is already dead ;)
Make sure you buffer tank your 0.0 drake NOT passive and fit 3 BCUs, will still give very respectable damage, 500 dps including drones with good skills |

A blaster gank myrm might be able to do a little more dps than a drake but the tiny range of blasters and its low speed make it not worth it. 1v1 a ham drake can probably beat any other bc because it has good dps, range, and massive tank. In gangs harb, drake, and cane are all about equal followed by brutix and myrm. The rest are pretty crappy. |

Yes, I'm cheap and don't want to fit 17mil launchers on it :D And unfortunately T2 launchers would require top skills + implants to fit. If you prefer an AB instead of the MWD you could fit a medium neut/nos in that empty high slot. |

The Drake is a very nice ship, very good dps especially if you overheat but you need to fit it right, and for that you need very good fitting skills and a powergrid implant.
If you are flying solo or small gangs go for hams, anything bigger and heavies is the way to go.

i think that is mainly due to that even with a great tank setup the Harby still hits at the weakest resist of the drake.
of course the HAM Drake if in close enough and setup right could try to beat the transversal of the harbringer(though id imagine no harby pvp fitter worth their salt would leave the Webby at home).

Edited by: Dagobert Dog on 01/07/2009 09:40:46 Dont talk nonsense. The drake deals less damage than any other BC in game. Even with hams its outdamaged by any other BC with short range weapons. 600 dps with short range weapons is not good compared to the other BCs which can easily 800 to 900 dps.

In theory drakes deal the least damage of the teir 2 battlecruisers. However in practice, they seem to deal just as much if not more because of the nature of missiles vs guns - always hit for full damage and don't have to run into range.

Oh and 7 x Malkuth/Arbalest/XRsomething Heavy Missile Launchers with lovely Scourge missiles.
Chuck some drones in, and sit back and kill things from miles away. Target Paint and Press Fire Button. 4 Salvoes should kill most things.

Quoting the people who have no clue. Drake gets very good applied damage due to the nature of missiles however can suffer a bit at range due to missile flight time.

Compare the EHP of other gank BCs with the EHP of a gank drake. (spoilers: the drake has 2-3x as much HP, and it deals its dps from further away than the gank hurricane/brutix/harbinger with short range ammo) I find that drakes tend to deal more damage over the course of a fight simply because they don't get primaried due to huge dps + weak tank combo... __________________________________

Drake is fine. If fitted properly and offensively it has an excellent ~60k EHP buffer and more than enough damage. You can safely ignore those that say it has rubbish damage and its good only for missions. And either hams or hms are fine. Its matter of choice and what you wanna do with it.

Either half the people in this thread are idiots and have no clue, or are idiots that enjoy trolling threads. Drake is fine, even great, for PvP. More tank than any other BC with great range on its ammo, whereas other BCs have to get within a couple km to do anywhere near their EFT damage potential.

The people who think the drake sucks for pvp are the ones who fly/fight pve fitted drakes and see how fail they are in pvp. If you actually fit the drake properly for pvp it's superb.

You forgot to mention that drake also gets to choose its ammo/damage type without having to sacrifice range which is a huge plus in my book. Sure, if you use kinetic missiles you get a damage bonus but only idiots would only carry scourges/terrors.

Since you're pro (and I'm an astronaut) how about you give us a proper response on why you think drake sucks? Post a fitting and analyze it. I can say "apocalypse sucks for fleet pvp" and I can also say "I'm pro at pvp". Yeah, I'm sure the entire eve community will take me seriously and worship me as their new god and supreme overlord.

Drakes are NOt BS's. They aren't as flexible as some other ships/designs. However, they CAN PvP, with the right set-up and skills, as long as you keep in mind it's strengths and weaknesses. It can strike from a goodly distance with HML's and last damn near forever, or it can shield tank in-close and do better damage with Heavy Assaults.
It's not an EWAR, Speed boat, or even really a tackler. It's a slower, but nearly unstoppable damage dealing tank (no pun intended). It is EXCELLANT for lvl 3 missions and LoSec PVE, and can be an invaluable support or bait ship for gangs. Highly skilled pilots can do most lvl 4's with them. No, it doesn't have the damage of an all gank Harbinger or Brutix, but it won't blow up after 1-2 torpedo hits either. Know it's strengths and limit's and it will serve you well.
P.S. I don't know why some supposed PvP players claim to hate it so much. Maybe it's because they don't want other people to know the easy-tanking goodness that is the Drake. Or, maybe they're not satisfied untill they show 1000+ DPS in EFT, but get blown up by the first ship to target them.. But the Drake is a very good ship for what it does and is a nice addition to any Caldari/missiler's arsenal.

Like anyting it depends on your skillset.
I have to disagree with the Drake not being able to put out a good DPS. It CAN - you just need to have all your missile skills maxed out and specialized.
Not to mention (for a missileboat) the range is rediculous with maxed skills and specialization.
I can easily hit targets over 75K.

Or use a similar setup with assault launchers, though I would prefer heavies for the additional range and higher DPS versus larger targets. --

Originally by: Gypsio III Wait, you're saying that the Drake, with five free midslots, isn't an ewar boat? You can quite easily fit 2 or 3 TDs on a Drake, and really **** off turret boats.
In complete agreement with Gypsio. A drake can still fit a comparable tank to other BC's, do more than adequate damage, and fit 2 TD's. Pick an enemy geddon or baddon or what-have-you and make them your EW b*tch, and still contribute a healthy amount of DPS against the primary target. --

Drakes are versatile ships and they perform how you fit them. You can either go heavy tank for bait or heavy dps for fleet fights because no one will primary a drake unless everything else is dead.
