Suz1	Posted - 2010.03.29 08:18:00 - [1] I recently started doing level 4 missions in my Drake. Been doin' ok so far... Today, 30 mins before I had to leave for work, my agent gave me angel extravaganza to do. So, I delayed it, and went to work. Was wondering what your opinions might be on whether my Drake can do this one. Here's my loadout: Highs: 2xCaldari Navy HML 5x'Arbalest' HML (1 empty) (still working on aquiring more CN HML's) Mids: 2xLarge Shield Extender II 1xShield Recharger II (don't have quite enough CPU to shoehorn in another LSE) 1xCN EM Shield Hardener 1xCN TH Shield Hardner 1xInvul Shield Lows: 2xBCU II 2xBeta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay Rigs: 3xCore Field Purger I Thanx!
Von Kapiche Minmatar	Posted - 2010.03.29 08:30:00 - [2] It depends if you want to do the bonus room or not; AE has two very different parts. I have attempted to do the first part solo in a Rifter before, and only gave up when it wouldn't put out enough DPS to actually take one of the BS rats down; I wasn't in any danger of dying from rat damage. Most of the time you shouldn't have to think about tank, there's rarely more than 6 rats around at once, and when there are all you have to do in a Drake is keep a bit of range. You won't do any less damage being 100km away, hardly anything is going to hit you there. Bonus room is entirely different, I don't think that Drake fit is going to take it. Fat sig passive shield BCs take some considerable damage there. Maybe if you burned away immediately you entered.
Khani Azsh Amarr Azani-Sec	Posted - 2010.03.29 09:19:00 - [3] Really depends on how fast you can get away from the initial spawn point. I haven't used anything with a shield tank in years so I don't really know what the tank is like, but the initial damage is pretty bad in the bonus room. I run it with my Legion drone boat usually, With 2 Med T2 Armor Reps, 1 Shadow Serp Adaptive Eng Nano, and 1 True Sansha Eng Thermic plate and I can pretty much go afk once I have aggro and let my drones out. Only have to run the 2nd rep for a minute or two while I take out the Elite Cruisers and Frigs. The two damage types I've found (I guess it's random) 55 Exp - 22 Kin - 14 Em - 9 Therm or 49 Exp - 28 Kin - 28 Therm - 7 Em My tank has 61em-71therm-70kin-84exp. But having 2 armor reps and the nanobot injector (lvl 4) it pretty much keeps me up through anything. I always keep my mission setups cap stable with everything on as well.
Kerogen Logos Caldari Construction Cabal Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive	Posted - 2010.03.29 09:26:00 - [4] I actually run all my L4 missions with a similar fit, just one less SPR (third BCSII) and an AB instead of the recharger (actually reduces inc DPS by quite a bit). However, I don't run the bonus room...just have always been too lazy to go get the tag. ---------------- Carebears with teeth exist, I've seen one.

Sharkbait: Dude.
Miriiah	Posted - 2010.03.29 10:47:00 - [6] Angel shield tank = 2 invuln 1 exp, don't bother fitting kin /therm /em hardners.
Von Kapiche Minmatar	Posted - 2010.03.29 11:19:00 - [7] Originally by: Miriiah Angel shield tank = 2 invuln 1 exp, don't bother fitting kin /therm /em hardners. 95% of angels do explosive. Pop the ones that don't first, and your invulns are just wasting slots.
Suz1	Posted - 2010.03.29 11:44:00 - [8] Thanks for the input, everyone. Gonna give it a shot, when I get home from work, in about an hour.
Nicholas Stark	Posted - 2010.03.29 16:31:00 - [9] The big thing with the AE4 bonus room is to get the all of the towers down asap. I'm thinking it will be tougher in a drake as they are a good distance out, and targeting/missile range may be issues unless you are very well skilled. I do this room solo with an artillery battleship and it takes the towers down fairly easily as my targeting range is just short of 100km. I have done up to the 5th room in a solo drake, but didn't try the bonus room.
Barakkus Caelestis Iudicium	Posted - 2010.03.29 18:33:00 - [10] Edited by: Barakkus on 29/03/2010 18:33:00 You should be able to do it as long as you make killing the webbing frigs first priority, rat in the mission need to be in close range to really hit you, anything over 30-40km away from them and they won't be hitting you much. Originally by: CCP Dropbear rofl edit: ah crap, dev account. Oh well, official rofl at you sir.
Khani Azsh Amarr Azani-Sec	Posted - 2010.03.30 02:08:00 - [11] Originally by: Barakkus Edited by: Barakkus on 29/03/2010 18:33:00 You should be able to do it as long as you make killing the webbing frigs first priority, rat in the mission need to be in close range to really hit you, anything over 30-40km away from them and they won't be hitting you much. Yup, the webs make everything hurt.
FTLENGAGE	Posted - 2010.03.30 02:12:00 - [12] bonus room is possible in a drake, i used to do it a few times kill the angel nomad and ruffian first they go down fast and target paint you, kill the other frigs by now you may or may not need to warp out if you dont start shooting the towers (never fly towards the angel ships always fly on a horizontal path
