i agree, most people will limit the drakes abilities by doing a full passive recharge which works for pve or being a juicy target, but i have seen multiple buffer and active drakes that can face roll multiple types and variants of ships with full capabilities to fight multiple different instances the drake has my vote, the 2nd best or also first id have to say would be the ishtar (drones ftw)it doesn't even need hi slots to pwn.

drake: out of versatility the platform is highly efficient at multi tasking, that said the myrm hurricane and harby are also very power full and can be configured to many different tasks aswell but the drake does it with ease. but it is not so much as being superior to the other BC's they all do or can do the same DPS or more and tank roughly the same jst in different ways. it doesn't have the downfall's that guns do such as tracking and range. it will always hit. might not be for much but it will hit, unless ur ofc 100+km away and then thats a completely different ball game.

none compare to the drake. Harbi doesnt, Myrm maybe it is limited, Cane is decent. Drake still tops all of them for versatility.
Two evenly skilled pilots one in a Hurricane and one in a Drake and I'll bet on the Hurricane every time. A smart Myrmidon pilot running Lasers will shove a Drake's wimpy EM tank in his hairy armpits while laughing maniacally.
If the Drake isn't running a mission or ratting, then it belongs in a hangar, not on a battlefield.
If you want to fly solo, then go with a Blaster Falcon or a Curse or if you want to stay on the insured side of the game, then go with a Laser Myrmidon or Hurricane.
The Drake is the only really worrying BC when you're flying around in a Hurricane. You just bet that it's a failfit or pilot makes mistakes, which holds true 95% of the time.
However, the Drake still boasts about 81K EHP vs a Harbinger's damage profile and 77K vs EM only. 1600mm RT Harbinger with dual EANMs and trimarks (which means you're fitting FMPs and only two HS) has 69K EHP vs the Drake's damage profile while doing less DPS.
It's also significantly more agile and actually faster then the Harbinger.
shhh if we keep talking about how great it is then ccp will nerf it to hell when the whinies with their whaambulances cry about it shhhh
I THINK IT BLOWS .
/me gets topic away from thinking they are great so they dont get nerfed

It's easy in a Myrm.
This is the point that the Drake pilot kills your drones (extremely easy to do) and orbits you at 15km. It takes 0 DPS, and you run out of cap boosters.
-Liang
Ed: The Myrm is a passable ship - but in most situations its completely crap. Get a better ship.
harby can do it so can a cane, cyclone does it with easy as well with an xlarge booster. it can be done quite easily actually.. drake is jst easy mode that's all. the other races jst take a lil finesse and skill. but it can be done and i believe the omen can tank quite a bit for a lil cruiser with 6 lows ( i think its the omen at least, at work so cant check)
not hard to do though drake inst as leetsauce as its made out to be although granted it is effective and can a complish its goals easily due to HAM II
