I have just started running level 4 missions and need to find a Drake setup. I am looking for a setup that doesn't cost the Earth, as funds are a little low ATM.
Thanks

Most Level IVs will be slow in a Drake, but this setup works:
7x HML (best you can afford)
1x Drone Link Augmentor
2x LSE II
4x Rat Specific Active Hardener IIs
1x BCU II
1x PDS II (needed to keep 4x Active Hardeners running)
2x SPR II
3x Shield Purger rigs
5x Hobgoblin IIs
The whole setup shouldn't cost you that much. Drake is around 33 million, another 30-40 million for the rigs (I think, I made my own) and a few million for the other fittings. If you go for best-named HMLs, they will cost you - they are 12-15 million each.

Once you nearly max-out most fiting-related skills (fiting is VERY tight, both PG and CPU) you can go to this:
7x T2 HML + auto-targeter (better as nothing, and only uses 1 MW / 1 tf, and lets you lock up to 10 targets instead of 8)
3x T2 actives + 3x LSE II
2x T2 BCU + 2x Beta Reactor CPR
3x Purger rig
___
T2 LSE, I suppose you already have. If you don't, it's your "zeroeth" priority. Get them yesterday.
T2 BCUs should be your first priority.
T2 HMLs should be your second priority.
They are WAY cheaper as best named ones, and you deal more DPS with them.
Harder to fit, indeed, but worth the sacrifice in tanking power (PDUs instead of SPRs for grid, passive resistance amps instead of hardners for CPU, even named LSEs instead of T2 if you just can't manage otherwise) needed to acomodate them when low-skilled.
T2 hardners are your third priority.
They actually cause more fiting problems (CPU-wise) for minimal extra tank compared to T1 hardners.
Some people just skip them altogether and stick with T2 resistance amps (which also have the benefit of being capless).
Heck, you can even use a shield recharger instead of one of the actives if you like.

I definitely agree with Akita's fittings for the midslots, but I am assuming that she meant SPR instead of CPR (what is that btw?). You will find that you probably can't run 4 hardeners indefinitely if you use 3 or more shield power relays to get the most tank (your cap recharge is too low and you run out).
Here's the basic breakdown of the lowslots:
Most tank:
3 Shield Power Relay II
1 Power Diagnostic Unit II
Some gank:
2xShield Power Relay II
1xPDU II
1xBCU II
I honestly don't know how people fit 3 extenders (Which you want) without putting on a power diagnostic. It takes forever to do lvl IV's in a drake even though you can tank just fine if you use the "tank" setup. And btw, you probably need the tank setup to survive alot of level 4 missions (well, that was before rev II, so you're prolly ok now), but it will still take forever. You would make more money doing level III missions

Yesh, sorry, typo, SPR. The Betas instead of T2 because they have the same bonuses yet are easier to fit CPU-wise.
P.S. : CPRs are "Capacitor Power Relays"

7x Dread Guristas Heavy Missile Launcher 1x Salvager
2x T2 Large Shield Extender 1x Domination 10MN Afterburner 3x T2 Hardener ( based on enemy )
3x Dread Guristas Ballistic Control System 1x T2 Shield Power Relay
3x Core Defence Field Purger
5x Hobgoblins

This is what i have now and it rapes , ofcourse i can improve the fit but there's no point anymore, i'm waiting on the Nighthawk.
387 m/s max speed
I did Gurista Extravaganza yesterday in 50 minutes including salvage and looting of the battleships, this without a special looting / salvaging ship, that's just silly, i loot and salvage while i pew pew.

Wont you make more money chaining L3s in a Drake than slowboating L4s?
