Now I haven't been able to get on the test server, the program won't open but when i heard about the drake i was quite excited.
Finally rather than going straight from cruiser to bs there would be a ship imbetween i could choose for pvp like other races. I often see gallente players bring along a bc to pvp but not caldari, becuase the ferox is pretty useless. its too slow for cruisers groups and nowhere near as good as a bs.
Here was a caldari ship which would be close range making it fun for gate camps, as those missiles would actually hit, and it had enough of a tank that being called primary wouldn't be instant death.
There was a mistake in the damage of the missiles so every race instantly whined becuase the drake was gonna be overpowered if the mistake was true but it wasn't. People didn't stop whining though becuase the drake had seemed overpowered so everyone still thought it was. If looked at it seemed pretty equal with the rest of the races, people didn't like the fact it had both ROF and shield bonus. Thing is its close range and caldari, so on a gate camp when people can't hit bs's your bc will be primary and that shield tank would manage to keep you alive, the ROF is what made it worth taking instead of a cruiser or recon ship.
And now its been nerfed, it can do missions i suppose but probably doesn't have range or speed to make it as good as the ferox. The ferox was pretty terrible and the drake made it not terribly useful, but make the useless ship better not the ok ship bad. besides the drake is a close range ship while ferox can hit long range which is useful in deadspace.
Everyone just assumes that the caldari is so much better than every other race but its not true, infact lots of minnimatar pilots in my corp say that minnimatar is a good race with very high skills (ie if you have high skills minnimatar is best) People just assume that becuase caldari are getting a decent ship and the gallente ship isn't wtfpwning it it must be over powered. If anything I think gallente are overpowered, (even if i think minnimatar are best it takes lots of skills so the effort should be rewarded)
Basically i'm saying that now i won't be using the drake which is a shame cuase i was looking foward to useing it in pvp.
