Would be nice if this was part of the rebalance to the Drake, considering the shield regen and kinetic bonus are getting reduced, would be nice to have the 8th launcher hardpoint.

Your ability to read patch notes is bad, and you should feel bad.

You mean the patchnotes that doesn't exist?

He means devblogs. But he's right; nano drakes are going to become EVEN MORE PREVALENT.

and a raven doesn't even have missile launcher visible and still it has 6 hardpoints ......so what is your point , unles you are demanding a 8 th missile hardpoint , in that case stop whining you will never get that

Drake is getting more DPS (With an all damage types bonus) and more Range, it is not a nerf its a buff.

How is losing a large Kinetic bonus (and gaining a smaller omni bonus) plus RoF and missile velocity more DPS?

It might be, if you know, the primary habitat of the Drake wasn't Caldari space where they have Guristas.

So the Drake will likely (based on the conjecture we know so far) have less tank (from reduced base resist and reduced regen) and less damage for their most common use - running level 3 and 4 PvE missions in Caldari space.

Granted, the Drake will now have much broader appeal and will actually be a better ship with the changes and will be a much better PvP ship. But it will lose DPS and tank against it's previously favoured kinetic weak foes.


So it's kinda part nerf and part buff I suppose.


Still think it should get an 8th launcher making it a proper full function missile platform - considering it's to be retasked as an 'artillery' platform.

Probably if you read the bonus on battlecruiser it would make sense too you. 99% reduction in the CPU need of Warfare Link modules. If that still confuses you then get someone to read the big words too you.

It's a spare, you have 5 wheels on your car (6 of your a smart ass and want to include steering) but you only use 4 of then to drive

Not even funny, no cars do not have 5 (called run flats for cars with no spares...)
Way more than 6 if you want to count the steering wheel...
Last time I checked that "5th wheel" was a spare I could use, do tell me how to use the spare hard point on the drake?

O also... I use my steering wheel to drive... idk how the **** you can drive with out one?

I guess we smart ass you dumb ass?

wtf is this blarf? seven = seven. Not eight. Not six. Not nine. Seven.

And the CEOs spake saying "First thou shalt purchase thy missiles, then thou shalt fit launchers to the count of seven, nor more, no less. Seven shall be the number thou fit, and the number of the fitting shall be seven. Eight shalt thou not fit, neither fit thou six, excepting that thou then proceed to seven. Nine is right out. Once the number seven, being the seventh number, be fitted, then lobbest thou missiles towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
