At closer range the drakes dps sucks compared to anything none drake.
Who told you that? A Drake is more than capable of taking on the other BCs close range, slightly lower eft dps is a non-issue with almost twice the EHP, more so as tracking is a non-issue as well.
In short, trading in 15% of dps for 4-5x range and a 100% EHP gain? Sign me up...

FC: We need some neuting ship
x ashimmu/curse
FC: Take curse
At the end we got ship totally outclassed in it's supposed niche wich doesn't fits to any other.
Then again, for most purposes a domi or phoon would do the same. Neuting on itself is not the ashimmus niche, and neuting on its own isnt the curses niche either.
Think TDs and webbing, in fact their niches are completely different.

It's outclassed by rapier on webbing field (Hello range) and TD is a rare thing out of solo pvp for killing lone turret carebears and it's benefits getting smaller as gang size increases. TD is too situational.
Again, the rapier does fill another role, no sense in comparing these two. In fact, the rapier does not fill the ashimmus specific webbing role very well, same vice versa naturally.
TDs are actually quite useful in well designed hit-and-run gangs, a great force multiplier. I've seen small groups of HACs and Recons absolutely demolish a superior force of BCs on multiple occasions due to the clever use of range dictation and TDing.

But a drake is not a frig hunting ship thats the caracal.
Not a frig hunting ship per se and certainly doing less than eft damage, but from first hand experience a full volley of heavy missiles does hurt a jaguar quite a bit when its engaged in orbiting maneuvers.

Thor any fast ship will kite the Ham Drake, Hell even semi Fast ships will.
Even if they can stay outside of faction HAM range, there arent many ships that can win the dps/tank race against Javelins though.
In fact, with current overheat mechanics, those (or rather, the only one) that can in theory will have a hard time avoiding to get caught.
