Reduce it's base targeting range so that it's in line with other BC's (I think 55km - 60km with long range targeting V). That way there's at least a 1 module distinction between not so long range and long range on the drake. Drakes don't require much thought to fly, and even less considering that they don't have to change their fit, ever. Around 70km target and shoot range. Massive buffer + the best passive shield recharge of all BC's (standard fittings, not lol fits). In addition to all that they can easily shoot FoF's if they are jammed or sensor damped, and anything less than a heavy neut takes forever (relative to how fast fights are) to actually cap out the drake and turn off its hardeners to at least hurt the drake's EHP, and even if you do cap out a drake, you can't stop the shield recharge. The only effective way to kill a drake is to overwhelm it with DPS, which is nearly impossible for a ship of the same value to do. You pretty much need a hard hitting BS to melt the drake's shields.

Except against straight EM damage which would have about a 41% resist meaning that fancy drake on page one would have about 50K HP. Against BC and up it will be absolutely smashed.
Aren't BC's supposed to get smashed by larger ships?

He's a caldari pilot. He's just super sensitive to anything that might change the ship he's been sitting in for 2 years

If you think drakes need a nerf take a look at this video:
firewall
As you can see even a small fleet can rip through this drake wall with innovative fittings.
Oh you mean a fleet of BS's? Try the firewall with arty canes and then we'll talk.

you mean like this?;)
Inferior range and the other half of the firewall was using sensor damps to shut out drakes. Oh and medium smartbombs suck.

Adapt, or stagnate and die.
Thats what I said before the speed nerf 
Boost HAMs, nerf HMs In a way that there's actually some thought/sacrifice into a drake fit. Currently there's about 1 fit for the drake with little variation, maybe a PDU vs. a BCU or a specific hardener vs. an invul.
