I'll probably never fit those rigs in because they are a little pricey and I'm on a budget atm.
This, like most of the other fits on the last page or two at least, suffer from TOO MUCH TANK.
Seriously, if you are doing lvl 3s, and you're not seeing shields drop below 85% or so as some have mentioned? Guess what.
TOO MUCH TANK
Drop a couple SPRs, and replace them with BCU IIs. If you're looking at putting a missle rig on? Try a third purger, and put a BCU in place of a low slot tank mod.
It's total overkill, and you are greatly slowing down the rate you can do missions from the lost DPS. One person was even making sure to mind the drones for extra damage, while they had all lows and rigs dedicated to tank. Amazing 
Also, for the quoted fit, either vary your damage to the rats lowest resist, or just fit scourge all the time. No reason to fit another type and lose your ship damage bonus unless the rats' resists call for it. --------------

I'm proud of my Drake, so here it is:
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z84/Axexut/AxexutDrake.jpg
About 1 month from finishing the missile skills to get to the DPS. (Unequipped the drones to show pure missile damage alone)
And, I do have the salvage module installed, but took it off for the snapshot to show that the cap can run forever.
If it gets tough, can swap in the ammo for some T2 / Faction stuff for that extra boost.

This is my setup for running lvl 4 missions.
7x Advance lima Heavy missiles (faction missiles) 1x Small YF-12A Smartbomb
2x LSE II 2x V-M15 Mulispec Hardeners (cant use T2 hardeners yet) 2x Shield Recharger II
4x Shield Power Relay II
3x Core defence Shield Purger
It can tank most lvl4 missions ok, as long as i am aggroed a group at a time, but i need another damager in order to kill everything.
Any idea of how to improve damage without sacrificing the ability to tank the missions ok ? Or any general advice ?
Thanks in advance.

hmm looking at the number you have Cap for 15M 13 s without the smartbomb effective HP is 45K Peak recharge of the shield is 222.95 HP/s. (with all LEVEL 5 skills) I guess as long as it rain down the missles as needed it would work. |

See this? It's not just the L3 fits, folks. I keep seeing ships with 3 or 4 sprs in the lows, WITH CDFPs fitted. You really don't need all that regen, even in an L4. Just use the right hardeners.
I run L4s in a Drake that's got a peak regen of about 100/sec. Resists come from 3 rat-spec hardeners. THREE of my lows are BCS. (That fit I posted way back on page 4? I got AWU since then, now the lows are 1 SPR and 3 BCS.)
Fit enough tank to stay alive, and use the rest for DPS. Passive shielding peaks out near 30%, so if you never drop under 35%, you're fine. More DPS means you kill faster, and you get more missions done, and you get more money!
Mission math: DPS = cash.

Here is my setup
Highs 7X Advanced Limos Heavy Missile Launcher 1X whatever fits and is appropriate for the mission
Mids 1X Ballistic Deflection Field II 1X Explosion Dampening Field II 1X Heat Dissipation Field II 1X Invulnerability Field II 1X Photon Scattering Field II 1X Large Shield Booster II
Lows 2X BCU II 1X Damage Control II 1X Co-Processor II
Rigs 1X ACR I 2X CCC I
Seems to work pretty good. Cap runs forever even with a full active hardener setup and I do decent damage.

Edited by: zbb infinite on 14/01/2008 05:54:42 Edited by: zbb infinite on 14/01/2008 05:47:30 Cheers to all you who helped me set this up, tell me what u think.... Note: having basic or named of all tech 2 gear still works pretty well
High: 5(7)x named Heavy Launcher 2(0)x 'arbalest' Assualt Launcher 1 x tractor beam
Med: 1x Medium Shield booster II 2x named mission specifiv hardeners 1x Large shield Extender II 2x Cap Booster II
Low: 2x Ballistic Control System II 2x Power diagnostic system II
Drones: 2x medium shield drone 1x light armour drone
With the skills i have and information from eve help sights no lvl 3 enemy has even gotten close to taking out my shields with the help from the drones, booster and 80% hardeners. My capacity and shield take longer to die than the enemy. The assualt lanchers are helpfull when there are a couple of weberfier and jamming frigates and spider drones, and with average skills a range of 55km with the heavies. Nothing here requires lvl 5 skills (apart from drones) and is all relatively cheap. Dont waste time saving for 'arbelest' heavy missle launchers 105 million later u can get a battleship. Any advice would be very helpful, cheers, zbb moneymaker

I cannot remember if I posted this before but, my ultimate Drake PVE setup is-
Highs 7 x T2 Heavies 1 x Tractor beam
Meds 3 x T2 Large Extenders 1 x T2 Shield Recharger 2 x T2 Invul Fields
Lows 2 x T2 PDU 1 x T2 Shield Power Relay 1 x T2 BCU
Rigs 3 x CDFP
Drones 5 x Faction/Race Specfic T2 Light Scouts.
With the right skills, and the hardwire implants that give you a 5% boost to Shield HP and Shield Recharge, there is no lvl 4 mission that will give you any trouble what-so-ever!

Originally by: Dahak2150 Why does the "ganky" battlecruiser tank better than the "tanky" battlecruiser?
7 heavy missiles + 1 something else (tractor, nos, salvager, whatever) 3 to 4 active/passive mix of hardners + 3 or 2 LSE IIs SPRs to the max, optionally *ONE* BCU, not more
Passive mods only, about 400+ DPS tank vs *all* damage types with good skills, up to 1000+ vs most/all damage types with T1 rigs (purgers), above 1200 DPS tank vs all damage types with 2 T2 purgers and 1 T1 (can't fit more). A lot more with T2 resist hardners, but you're very NOS-vulnerable.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that above Raven active tank ? :) And that with (possibly) full passive setup. Damage output not so great, but perfect for missioning and/or laughing at solo would-be gankers.
NOOB QUESTION COMING UP!!! You've used this to solo on solo PVP with results?

How is this for a drake tank setup? It is what I currently have on my ship...
Please keep in mind, my skills are extremely limited, as I am primarily an industrialist and I will not be upgrading my skills anytime soon, so this ship will never PvP...

This build is a piece of ****. I have all the skills and more for this build and I ended up losing the ship in a level 4 rogue drone mission with 10 webifier towers and 14 energy neutralizers and 70 drones (most were bc or bs because of storyline).
I'm looking for a real passive drake build.

How do you think that this would work in L3 and L4 missions?
Highs: - 7x Heavy Missile Launcher II
Meds: - 1x Invulnerability Field II - 2x rat specific passiv hardeners II - 3x Large Shield Extender II
Lows: - 2x Ballistic Control System II - 2x Power Diagnostic System II

To re-iterate:
My classic active level 3/4 Drake setup:
Drake Active tank
Highs: - 7x 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher (Scourge Heavy Missiles) or Dread Guiristas/Caldari Navy launchers. T2 ones if you can use em. - 1x Small Tractor Beam I (not needed, fit if there is room)
Meds: - 1x Large Shield Booster (Caldari Navy or Dread Guiristas) - 3x Named/TII invul fields or rat-specific hardeners (use DG or CN versions if you have CPU issues) - 1x Named/TII medium Cap Booster with 200's or 400's - 1 x shield boost amp II
Lows: - 2x Ballistic Control System (if 2 will fit) - 2x Power Diagnostic System II
Rigs: 3xCCC I
The point of this setup is to handle massive damage at the start of an encounter and still come out with full shields and lots of energy. Works very well with missions that keep respqning but you have to carefully managed the shiled booster and cap booster.

Can you fit all that? The CPU seems tight, although I guess that some faction gear will fix that (primarily CN BCS and CN Invulnerability).
I would use 2x Shield Power Relay IIs instead of PDSs (as this is a passive tank), although you'll need AWU V and SU IV (or AWU IV and SU V) to fit it. As a quick fix, you can do AWU III, SU IV and PG4 (the +3% PG implant).
Do not forget the 3x Core Defence Field Purger I and you should be fine.

the drake is a passive tank beast dont go active stay with what the ship likes... (my bad if anything is spelled wrong) my lvl 3 setup highs: 7x malkuth heavy's 1x salvager mids: 2x large regoloth extender 3x shield rechargers(named) 1x pasive hardener(mission specific) lows: 3x shield power relays (t2) 1x power diagnostic system (t2)
i forget the specifics but it can tank like no other i held my own agenst a megathron (he was snyping me with rails, he still couldnt break me)(he wasnt using his drones) just try this i love it and the only things i would change is making the high and mid slots full of the t2 equivalents of my current setup. good luck

Why do people use hardeners over amplifiers? Amps fit better with other stuff, and give just as much resist with good skills.... Why use shield rechargers when you can fit another amp there?
Also can someone please tell me how much damage you output in your drake? I want to know what is the max possible without drones and faction items.

Edited by: Mal Reed on 27/03/2008 23:11:48 Well just dropped my Ferox to try out the Drake, so far I'm impressed! But a little bored since theres not much to factor, just sit there and unload 1-7.
High; - x7 Adv 'Limos' Heavy
Med; - x3 Large Sheild Extender II - x1 Invulnerability Field I <Working on T2> - x1 10MN Afterburner II - x1 Shield Recharger II
Low; - x2 Named PDS <Working on T2> - x1 Named Sheild Power Relay <Working on T2> - x1 Ballistic Control System II
Shield - 17520 Regen - 627 Volley - 1558
Thats my first fitting anyway, ran a few missions with it Lv2s will move onto some Lv3s tomorrow after work and see how it holds up. Looking at skilling up for a Tactor Beam then i could proberly drop the AB though i cant stand moving so slow.

The extra DPS dont mather much imo, i undertanked my Nighthawk and when a pirate showed up. Trust me, I regretted not tanking it a bit more.
You choose a drake due to its tank, due to the easy as pie approach to missions.

This is my mission running setup. I have never had to warp. I run Caldari Navy missions so the modules were cheaper for me. The Navy Launchers let me equip a third Shield Power Relay II. The Navy Hardeners let me equip the Tractor Beam.
EDIT: It takes money to make money. You won't regret it.

7x heavy launcher ( named or t2)
3X LSE, 3X shield hardeners
DC II, 2x SPR, 1x BCU
3X Field purger rigs
5x scout drone II
seen a few of these doing lvl 4 missions, cap stable at 40-60%. depending on skills and implants they hold a mid 70's resistance across the board. you need too drop the incoming dps while running, some missions require warp outs
