Originally by: Goose99 Go with at least 5 logies. Since you brought up NCNs, they haven't been done since CCP made it so that logis can't enter BS side gate. Since then no one has been doing them, so that after a while all that's left are NCNs.
Wrong, they get run when people run out of other sites. Maybe you haven't run them, but people do them. I've done a few myself and I don't run many assaults at all.

Domination ballistic controls? You mean Caldari Navy BCUs right?

Domination BCUs are the natural choice when you take costs into account. CN BCU, in the overall scheme of things is too costly for a Drake ... Tengu yes, Drake no.
I would have swapped out the 3rd BCU for a T2 but the CPUs pretty tight on the Drake. The alternative was to swap out the T2 painter (check the prices on a Meta 4) + T2 heat amp .... but a single Domination BCU accomplishes that. So there we are.
The bottomline is a balance between cost and effectiveness.
edit:spelling
When people are bringing multi-billion isk pirate BSs, you are not helping anyone get over the "allergy" to drakes by skimping on damage mods.
A hurricane with 1 LSE and 2 invulns survives Vanguards with no issues at all (without a shield resist bonus like the Drake has). So you're still overtanked.

I like that a lot better. A lot of the Drake hate is indeed because of people trying to join fleets with mission fit Drakes or just horribly overtanked Drakes. It's possible to have a decent drake fit, but you will still encounter a lot of hate just because of what's been going on with Drake fits so far.
But hell, I saw a fleet take a Raven with meta 4 assault launchers today for Vanguards. That's assault launchers, not heavy assault launchers. Your Drake is 10x better than that.

Originally by: HardinSalvor I doubt it. The people who bring badly fitted ships tend to be the people who don't do any research. But it will help :) Drakes aren't nearly as bad as they used to be, people learn fast. Avoid incursion local and the drakes are pefectly fine.
Also, I'd hardly call not fitting 4x CN BCUs to a drake "skimping"! You can get well over halfway to a tengu for that much ISK. And if you have that much ISK, you should be able to fly one.
And yes, I am a tengu fanboy xD
Well after a couple incursions they should be able to buy a Tengu But for those without cruiser V, they should be able to afford the faction BCUs after a couple incursions
Anyway, you don't need faction BCUs, but they're nice. How much are those Dark Blood webs? Fed Navy is usually preferred, but as long as you have more range than T2 webs its all good.
