Have you considered that you might just be bad at PVP? It's very easy to blame the equipment when you can't handle it properly.

Although... Men that hit women are never really good at standing up against anything anyway so it must be you.

Yes the Drake needs a buff. It's just terrible. As a matter of fact I think heavy missiles should have a boost as well. That would really get the Drake and Tengu in line with the other races.

there are a lot of good arguments that suggest that the Harbinger is better than the Drake as well.

Problems with Caldari PVP

1. Signature Radius - Your signature radius becomes massive the minute you start putting on any kind of buffer tank. In most situations you'll have a signature radius comparable to the next class of ship up i.e. battlecruiser signature radius approx.= battleship class radius.

Because this is any better than being slowed to a crawl by plates amirite.

2. Lower (effective DPS)*EHP factors with comparable ships - Especially true with Caldari battleships Caldari battleships don't stand a chance against their rivals.

Right. The Scorpion doesn't stand a chance, its total crap . Also, have you even looked at the Raven? Its a perfectly competitive brawler compared to the other races' BS.

3. Lowest base speed of any race - Caldari ships can't often dictate range which is an essential factor to success in PVP.

You want the longest range EWAR/weapons AND the ability to dictate range? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

4. No Utility Mids - After you've finished putting on your tank you OFTEN (not always) don't have enough room for the appropriate tackle/target painters to up your effective dps, sensor boosters or midslot eccm (lowslot eccm is a joke).

You need to learn to fit ships.

5. No racial advantage - I know what you're going to say Caldari ships have higher sensor strength than other races BUT they're not any harder to jam really the difference in sensor strength is so pitifully low that their might as well be no difference at all.

Caldari have the Drake and ECM bonused ships, thats plenty of advantages right there. Not to mention the best PVE boats.

6. Can't use utility highs - If you are using a raven you can't fit a heavy neut without sacrificing tank or dps to the point of rendering the fit ineffectual against anything really. If you're using a neut

Other races have the same issue with fittings. People need to make compromises, deal with it.

7. 80% of your dps comes from high slot weapons - This means that you are more vulnerable to the effects of ECM because if you're jammed that's 80% of your dps gone.

As above, the same holds true for every other races, deal.

Before you all start harping on about the Drake the Drake has half the problems listed and a massive signature. Battleships mince Drakes. [They damn well better] The Drake isn't the best battlecruiser that award goes to the Hurricane and there are a lot of good arguments [Show us some] that suggest that the Harbinger is better than the Drake as well.

OP is just wishing he could fly a Caldari ship like a Hurricane.

wahhhhhhhh why can't my 70k ehp drake do 700 dps also, waaaahhhhhhhh

H T F U :)

-Pete

Dont know about you but my ham drake does 80-90k ehp and 700dps.

OP is an idiot, all the races have pluses and minuses when it comes to ships and Caldari has some brilliant ships

There's nothing wrong with Caldari, because Caldari = drake, and drakes are fine in pvp. Raven = drake, Ferox = drake, Rokh = drake, Moa = drake, and everything else Caldari = drake. Thus nothing Caldari ever needs buff.

There's nothing wrong with Gallante, because Gallante = Nyx. Brutix = Nyx, Hyperion = Nyx, Thorax = Nyx, Diemost = Nyx, and everything else Gallante = Nyx. Thus nothing Gallante ever needs buff.

Merlin, Hookbill, Buzzard, Caracal, Drake, Scorpion, Onyx, Falcon/Rook, Blackbird, Kestrel, Hawk, Harpy are all great ships stop trolling

1. 99% of time in PvP you're MWDing- in which case everyone's sig is freaking massive, it's not just Caldari.
