Not true.

So, how is it even possible to fight a Drake (or any shield-tanked missile boat) in an Amarr ship? Surely two ships of the same class should be comparable in power...?
Yes it is possible. Unless the drake was fit with a passive tank you could use the amarrian speciality of energy neutralizing, and destroy the drake's capacitor. Doing so would make the shield tank fail, and the drake would despite having more powerful weapons be as weak as a kitten.

Only problem here is that drakes typically do wear a passive shield tank.
ECM. What cant hit you, cant hurt you.
My experience is contrary. People put invuln fields and stuff on drakes and call that passive. So, you just kill the invuln fields by destroying the cap.

Almost needless to say, the thief had a couple of friends who came to the scene after I attacked. They didnt intervene (according to the kill mail), but I'm quite sure they would have if the fight had gone bad for their mate. Damn pirate cowards  Oh well.
So, get your own friends with guns for those kinds of situations. If you're not in a player corp, get into one. NPC corps aren't - often - very strong on any kind of cooperative spirit. :)

OTOH a properly fit drake is an amarrian's worst nightmare. A drake with decent missile systems, a proper passive tank without any active modules, can regenerate 500+ hitpoints per second without the need for any cap at all.
If you want to kill or scare away curses/pilgrims the drake is an excellent choice. It has enough regenerative power to throw off a zealot or t2 pulse harb for long enough to kill it. You won't be moving around in it, but you don't need to in any case.
