He must be doing lvl 4s very slowly.
Drake isn't very optimal for active tanking either.

Get a raven.
But i will give you a serious answer also. Here the the level 4 drake i use in 0.0 missions as drakes are cheap and easy to replace if caught.
7 launchers
2 x invul fields 4 large extenders.
2BCU 2PDU
3 extender rigs
5 hobgoblins
is that the right amount of slots? not in game atm.
anyway give about 31.5k shields at good resists staying aligned adn warping if you hit 15% is good also.
dps is the problem with the drake for level 4's though |

My drake setup:
Highs 7 x Arbalest Heavy Missile launchers (scourge missiles for the bonus OR target specific damage) 1 x Either Tractor Beam OR Drone Link Augmenter (if you want to spend the ISK)
Mids 3 x Large Shield Extender II 2 x Shield Hardener II (enemy damage specific) 1 x Shield Recharger II
Lows 2 x Ballistic Control System II 1 x Damage Control II 1 x Power Diagnostic System II
Rigs 3 x Medium Core Defense Field Purger
I've tested almost every conceivable fitting combination both in game and in EFT, and I've found this to have the best balance of defense and firepower. The Drake is the ultimate passive defender, I'm cap stable at 77%. As long as I have ammunition I never have to run. If you don't have the skills to fit the tech II then replace with the highest named modules. With 14 mil. skill points I can run any level 4 mission or epic arc without having to ever retreat. I've taken on up to a dozen NPC battleships and never dipped into armor. (word to the wise, if you do get into armor, RUN! Three or four salvos and you're looking at you're own pod.) I've used this setup for six months now and can swear my life to it.
As a side note, I also run a tech II fitted active tanking Raven and it can't absorb half of the damage that my Drake can. You would need to upgrade to a Golem to get any better.

Stoof.
Hmm, my CNR can tank alot better than a Drake, the Drakes main strength is its passive shield recharge, however the pure joy of Ravens is that you can kill most of the incoming DPS before you have to worry, if you fit a Raven properly you can take any lvl 4 with ease, fitting it correctly also helps, X-L shield boosters are your friends.

3 core defence field extenders
-7x caldari navy heavy launchers -drone link aug (if you have the cpu)
-10mn after burner -2x Caldari Navy large shield extenders -3 Caldari Navy Invulnerability field
-3 caldari Navy BCU -caldari Navy Powerdiagnostic
You might ask yourself why waste all that faction gear on a drake. So youcan move it all on a Tengu once you have that trained up.

Edited by: Sarih on 21/12/2009 13:05:09 Edited by: Sarih on 21/12/2009 13:04:20 A cheap but good passive tank would be:
4x Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I
2x Medium Shield Extender II Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II Heat Dissipation Amplifier II 2x Invulnerability Field II (Invul for Omni-Tank, or two specific shield hardeners depending on mission)
7x Heavy Missile Launcher II (With dmg specific T2 Fury Heavy Missiles for bigger targets and standard heavys for smaller stuff like Cruisers)
5x Tech2 dmg specific Light Drones to blow small targets up that are annoying you :)
edit: forgot: 3x Core Defence Field Purger I
This gives you 369 dps max and a 609 dps omni tank 733 EM/Heat tank with Heat Dissipation Field II and Photon Scattering Field II instead of Invuls or 1199 dps Kin/Exp tank with the correct shield hardeners and shield resistance amplifiers
Have fun

I'm going to wind up using this setup for L3s/L4s. I'm pretty sure that my midslot configuration tanks more DPS than any other possible T2 fit, albeit at the cost of capacitor problems. It's impossible to remain cap-stable with more than one SPR II unless you have ESO and En Man. at V and IV. Fortunately, it has enough CPU room for a set of three BCS IIs, which should really help the gank. It also requires you to switch hardeners between missions, but that should be easy enough.
1x Shield Power Relay II 2x Ballistic Control System II (either DCU II or a 3'rd BCS II) 2x LSE II 4x T2 mission-specific hardeners 7x 'Arbalest' heavy missile launchers (Scourge Heavy Missiles, the kinetic ones) 5x mission-specific light drones. 3x Core Defense Field Purger I
With a 3'rd BCS II loaded and EM/therm hardeners, it tanks 403 DPS against a multi-frequency laser crystal with Battlecruisers III and Shield Op/Man at IV, and deals 287 damage with Warrior Is loaded, missile skills at III, and Combat Drone Op/Drone Interfacing at III. Overall, this means 403 DPS tanked and 287 DPS dealt in a worst-case scenario with mediocre skills. Boost skills up to all level V, and you get 508 DPS tanked and 386 DPS dealt, and that's before loading in T2 drones.

Problem with the drake is it takes hits like a prize fighter, but punches like a little girl. Sure you can tank almost anything in a drake, but try completing missions quickly in one. Step up to a raven for level 4 missions, your wallet will grow alot faster. ------- "Because the Dominix is the Chuck Norris of Eve!" |

if u wanna do lvl 4's in a drake you should use 3 bcu's and faction cause of cpu + more dmg ofc.
one of my alts is purely bs, and working towards CS atm, so needed to grind for some jump clones and used this decently

If your serious about misioning on a drake this is the only choice ..

Medium Core Defence Field Purger I Medium Core Defence Field Purger I Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
480 kinetic missile dps (max skills) (no implants) 563 dps tank vs guristas (no implants, no gang bonus)
4 active hardeners + the drakes native rezists + 2 lse are enough to tank any lvl 4.
At lower SP this will fare much better on lvl 4s than a low skilled Raven/CNR. Only after serious SP investment does switching to a CNR start to make sense.
