The best solo Drake fit for a pvp noob who is JUST able to fly a Drake is a Caracal cruiser or a Merlin or Rifter frigate.
If you fly a Drake in PvP with 2 mil SP or even 3-5 mil SP you will lose it in 60 seconds or less.
Learn to PvP first. Then try the Drake.
PS, this is coming from a guy who lost 3 Ravens in my first few months of the game.

Drakes is pretty overrated imho... I know it CAN be good, but that require pilot skill and gamer skill to work out, and in the most of the cases where a Drake is good, is pretty few... you might be better out just using another better and cheaper ship for pvp... like a frigate
At your skill level, the drake is a waste! Trust me, i stopped using drakes after my first loss because i figured out flying a frigate or a cruiser ( in my case a incursus and a Thorax ) were both more cost effective and more fun ____________________
I wish my Thorax could use missiles... |

Preety much. It's better to go out soloing in a frigate which you are very skilled for then a Drake which you have battlecruiser III and T1 weapons for.
Plus, in your first X PVP fights, you'll make a zillion mistakes, a frigate makes it cheaper to learn.

Edited by: Shade Millith on 25/09/2009 11:15:39 Also a little tip: Depending on where you are intending to engage people, aka, at belt or planet, or at gates or station, you can swap the HAM's for Heavy missiles.
If your expecting action at a spot like a gate or a station (somewhere you can exit from the field dispite being pointed), then HAM's all the way.
If your expecting action at a spot like a belt or planet (somewhere you can sit burning at full speed all day and still be pointed), then it *might* be a good idea to fit heavies, for a bit less damage, but you can't be kited. Cause fighting a rapier/huggin or arazu that's got you double webbed/scrammed at 23km's with HAM's isn't terribly fun or productive.
You also hit smaller ships far better with the heavies than the HAM's (although this is negated in scram range, cause if it's smaller than you in scram range, it's probably gonna die whether or not you do an extra bit of damage). --------------------------------------------

@OP: It's way too early for you to pvp in that Drake yet. Take some time to train for the Rifter (Minmatar Frig), then keep training the support skills for the Drake while having fun in the Rifter. You could go for Merlin/Kestrel/Caracal/Moa, but these mostly suck, and you probably do not have the skills required for a AML Caracal.
@Tau: That joke is starting to get old. Get over it. The Drake and many other Caldari ships are great solo.
@Allen: WTF's with that setup? It's awful.
@OP: Don't use setups posted by Allen.

With AWU5 and a 3% pg implant you can fit a third BCU, but this is more reasonable.

The third BCS fits with AWU IV and the 3% PG implants. Without the implant, you can switch one HAML to HML, then you should have the PG to fit the third BCS on (maybe ouch CPU though) - that gives more DPS then pure HAMs and two BCS.

DONT DO IT! Caldari are AAA at support but suck solo. I quickly found this out almost 3 years ago when I first started playing & is the reason why I started this character about 15 months back. Keep the Caldari toon for lvl4 missioning in Empire to support your PVP costs & start an Amarr you wont regret it!

First join eve U or take an agony unleashed class. That will help you with the basics the quickest.
Second, if you can't fit the Top rated PVP drake on Battleclinic you have no right to PVP in it. Trust me. I lost my first drake to an empire war. Though given the odds against me even properly fit I probably still would have lost. Rifter, Rupture, Raven and a Myrm (before the bandwith chages)..
Finally, as stated start with frigs. They are cheaper and don't hurt as much to loose.

Perfect fit. In some cases you can drop the web (when you have a scram fitted) and use an ECCM or other interesting med slot modules. You dont really have the CPU for much, but you can play with that last med slot somewhat.

Bring something with bigger guns and similar buffer.
Actually, an Ishkur or Jaguar could probably do the trick with an AB fit and some tank, though the Ishkur would probably run out of cap boosters before the Drake dies and the Jag might get tickled to death before the Drake does. However, on another note, I now have one of those annoying sigs. |

Eh, the Ferox is pretty useless too. TBH, they should totally nix the class system for battlecruisers. They're all Tier 2, and they all cost that much too. Or a middle ground... but it really sucks to be a Caldari turret pilot and find that you really don't *HAVE* a battlecruiser, or be a turret spec Gallente pilot and find that you only have a crappy BC, etc.

Originally by: Raziel Angelo How does one take down a HAM drake, just kite it?
You won't kite Jav, not with anything capable of taking the Drake down in a sensible time frame, anyway. AB AFs just get webbed and killed, it's not a contest, even with sentry guns on their side - they don't have the tank or EHP to survive. A HG Slave Harbinger can do it, but you're relying on your skills being significantly better than your opponents.
To win in a BC 1v1 you need something with a big active tank. Exile Myrm or Crystal-Blue Pill Cyclone would worry me. Elsewhere, an Absolution would scare me, but I'd fancy my chances against a Sleipnir or Astarte, although Exile/Blue Pill/Crystals may well cause terminal problems there. Other than that, just drop a BS on it, because a well-fitted Drake is not too far off the combat power of a BS.

Here's another fit to consider:
7x HML 1x small nos/neut
mwd 24k scram 2x LSE 2x invul
3x BCU co-pro
Still requires the PG implant for t2 LSE, or drop to meta 4 I guess. Alternatively use cpu implant to avoid using co-pro, still very tight on fittings and you'll need to drop something down to meta 4, either invul or tackle to 20km point (:(). Co-pro is better overall imo.
Pros: A lot more range on HM, has extra LSE for more buffer (20k shield HP total). Cons: Less DPS (100 or so), lacks second tackle mod so you better hope your drake is faster than the other ship (not likely), no damage control.

Drake is awsome silly tank with small dps. mine has a passive recharge rate of 200s and very high damage type percentages... :D cap is stable for 14 mins (should be enough). and that with havy missiles fitted... :D If I put a med shield booster on it the cap lasts some where near 5 mins and is longer then most battles last.. :D
So to the original poster in this thread
1. Get your skills up before trying it, you will loose alot of ships if you dont. 2. Fit the drake for passive recharge of shields and with damage types in mind. 3. I am not posting fitting's etc this is a general descussion go on battleclinic for that or use evemon, theres some good fittings on there.. :D

Generally speaking, the quality of fit suggested on battleclinic is much less than the quality of fit suggested here.
