The OP is right, however. The Navy Drake is not very good - even without the heavy missile nerf (but especially with it). Unlike cruise missiles and torpedoes, heavy missiles don't really need damage application - they need raw damage. Instead of a 25% explosion radius bonus a 25% rate of fire bonus would be more beneficial. I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

HAM damage against a cruiser, even with a TP is just sad. The HAM Navy Drake out damages the HAM Regular Drake when shooting at cruiser sized ships. In fact even with a TP the regular drake doesnt reach the damage output of the navy drake, and the navy drake does so at longer ranges! Rigors work wonders.

Crazy KSK wrote:changing the missile exp radius bonus on the navy drake for a 5% damage bonus would give it 10 effective launchers reducing the dps against cruisers and smaller slightly but giving it more dps then the drake with 9 effective launchers this however would make it more powerful then the normal drake was pre HM, drake and resist bonus nerf Give the standard Drake a 25% rate of fire bonus instead (along the lines of the Raven) - problem solved (The Navy Drake can be left with the explosion radius bonus). Also extend the ROF bonus on the Drake to RLMLs and the missile velocity bonus on the Navy Drake to RLMLs. I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Truthfully, I'm not really a fan of either. Not when T3 or HACs run circles around these. They should really be hitting for around 100-200 more DPS with a bit more hull, armor and shields. I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

It's not necessarily a problem with damage application on the Navy Drake, but damage as a whole. When you have smaller vessels that can potentially put out almost twice the DPS... I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |
