omiNATION Gallente	Posted - 2007.10.21 18:36:00 - [1] So there I was in my Indy mining cans when suddenly I noticed a Drake uncloaking next to me, this was new. So I align, target, and scan, only to findone of the most frightening t2 setups I have ever seen... except the person had fitted a web instead of a warp disruptor. One full cargohold of ore later, I return in my domi. He doesn't attack at first but he's very aggressively guarding his can, so being diplomatic, I go straight for it. Yeah that did the trick, I could barely get him past 95% shields, as he was plumetting me from 5k. Apparently my 3 medium rail guns weren't exactly communicating the damage i was trying to convey. His mistake was of course, moving out to get range (which doesn't make sense to me since... he's in a missle boat, perhaps he thought I was packing blasters). At 15-20k my sensor dampeners cut off his targeting and he's a sitting duck, except I can't do any damage to him! People complain all the time about the myrm but wtf tank on a drake, even if I was properly setup, I get the feeling I wasn't going to dent the thing. We called a truce and I later found out he was active tanking, I assumed he was passive tanked so swapped out my neuts for vamps thinking might as well use his cap to my advantage if it isn't going to hurt him. But in hindsight, since he was active tanked, I feel like the neuts would have turned the tide since he can't really keep his invulnerability II active with two t2 neutralizers on him. He says he can, the only way I can see that is if the drake can recharge enough cap between the 12 seconds (I stagger my modules) of the neut drains. Any insight oh experienced eve forum warriors? I mean he even had a cloak so it's not like he had a utility slot, grrrr, I feel like I should have totally wiped the floor with this guy. Oh yeah, he's what... 2-3 years older than me. Anyways, input?

bornaa	Posted - 2007.10.21 19:07:00 - [3] you should probably skillup some fighting skills instead of flying a domi that does dps of an average cruiser.
Neal Cassady Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2007.10.21 19:12:00 - [4] im confused... the drake was guarding a cam? was he mining? also, wouldn't you know what type of tank he had if you ship scanned him?

Insomnium Minmatar the united	Posted - 2007.10.21 21:51:00 - [5] what on earth does that have anything to do with asteroids fighting back? fail. ------------------------------------ If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward
omiNATION Gallente	Posted - 2007.10.21 21:52:00 - [6] first guy: yeah couldn't scan his rigs, he said he had 20k shields so there's that, second guy: it was my support cruiser, basically cap heavy, repair and energy management, but i still prefer the domi to the other galentee ships, i'm drone heavy, plus I like the versatility and the cheapness third guy: he had alts, one mines, one transports, the other he called in when i started harassing him. my domi is pretty much setup for support, egress setup for energy transfer, drain, and neut with remote repair i swap out for mediums; ew for mids, not the best but good for small gang support, i have like enough minerals for 5 more domis whats a better domi setup? thinking just going for a blaster tackle tank, with the EW replaced with cap management, seems like most 1v1 guys either go complete EW or complete tank meaning my jack of all trades setup will get screwed regardless.
Lithalnas Amarr Headcrabs	Posted - 2007.10.21 21:55:00 - [7] well drakes do have a tank that is quite formitable, but they are breakable, you just need the right equipment. A geddon/abaddon can break the average drake with little effort, a domi can do this too if you get your drone damage up, try useing something with a little more go than med rails, try useing large blasters and light up his life with some antimater Ls. ------------- fixed for greater eve content

I understand Rackateers dont give a flying ** what ppl think, sweet but having a sig like that, dude its just a game but they were real ppl and you cant do that . Change it or I hope you get banned.

Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.22 05:41:00 - [27] Hmm, this thread makes me want to dust off the ol' Drake and run it through low sec to see what happens. I've got Shield Man IV and Shield Op V along with 3 purger rigs and some implants. I think just seeing people bash away fruitlessly would be enough to amuse me, forget about kills. (With a Drake's dps, yeah, forget about kills!) (And God, I hate Racketeers.

Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2007.10.22 07:34:00 - [29] I do 2% off max damage with my t2 drones. I couldnt break a passive drakes tank with them alone. T2 sentrys did a little better with sentry damage mod on. You gotta have the extra blaster damage on them to do it. Or neuting him untill his invun fields turn off. SKUNK
mmm haulers	Posted - 2007.10.22 08:06:00 - [30] a good drake setup (3 LSE II, invulII, 4 SPR II, 3 purgers) should get you around 230/s regen tank plus resists. theyre by far the best gatecamping ship IMO, all you need is a bit of microing on the invul to keep your cap full up but otherwise you can forget about your tank and just chill until you hear gatefire
AntonioBanderas	Posted - 2007.10.22 08:57:00 - [31] drake nerf was a joke to shut up stupid whiners. And it worked flawlessly. Corpm8 told me his setup (he' infinitely more skilled than i am, i can only fly them, but he actually flies them) cahnged in ONE way: all he had to do was take down the salvager. That's it. So, yea, drakes are nber. They were, and they still are. And as things are looking, they will bi. GOOD JOB CCP !!!!
Inteh Shuta Acerbus Vindictum Nex Super Vos	Posted - 2007.10.22 09:16:00 - [32] No they're not. Sure it can tank like a turtle on pcp but it doesn't have the dps to be a threat on it's own. Unless ofc its a hamgankdrake but then the tank will be breakable instead.. No winbutton there my friend :)

I was trying to do too many things, EW, tank, and damage, if you read my post, you'd know that. -_- forget it, first **'s and now drakers, god and i thought the myrm people were bad. and no this isn't an omg nerf drake thread, god eve is full of inept trolls EVE, basically an MMORPG with prison rules.

Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.24 19:38:00 - [43] Woohoo! I lost my Drake just now, but I did it happy. Inspired by this thread, I omnitanked my Drake, and fitted a smartbomb and went to the nearest 0.4 (Horkkisen). I flew around the belts until, speak of the devil, a Domi jumps me! He opens fire and releases T1 Ogres (aww). I'm tense, because the Domi is known to be pretty uber. But after a few moments of me killing off his Drones one by one with my smartbomb and 7 arbalests, he ransoms me. I was at 91% shields, no lie. I say "No, keep shooting!". A few minutes later, after losing 6 or 7 Ogres, he apologizes (?) and warps off, and I yelp for joy. ('Twas my first real Pvp ever!) I dock and calm down for a bit. Then I undock and warp for the system's only exit. I pass through a gatecamp consisting of him and a buddy, who were flashing a ferocious red! I jump through. After buying some cap charges in the next system, I was feeling confident, so I jumped back into Horkkisen, into the camp, and opened fire! They started calling in buddies, but only 2 more ever showed up. They finally got me with an Astarte, a Domi and a Cane, as far as I can tell. And it took a while! They kept saying in local "Tough Drake", "Is that passive?" and "Get more guys". Best 100mill I ever lost.

Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.25 01:53:00 - [46] Hehe, thanks. I'm not done though. I've got my skills planned out. Gonna get BC 4 and T2 Heavy launchers with faction ammo for next time! Gotta get the cost down. Those Arbalests costed 100 mill alone, so really, That was a 200 mill Drake, hehe. That's alot of missions. I can't afford that. As for dps; I actually hurt the Cane alot, he was into low structure and was warping in and out by the end of the fight. And the Astarte pilot told me afterwards that his ship was out of cap and ready to warp out by the time I was into armour. I indeed noticed his reppers stopped near the end. So all I need is a bit more gank and a bit more tank, and I'll have the ultimate defensive ship! I don't care about kills. My goal right now in Eve is to have a ship that can make a whole gang of attackers cry out in unison "Ok, what the hell is with this Drake?". Yeah. And as for any Domis, if they're at all like the ones that attacked me, well bring it on! Originally by: Slayton Ford a Drake is normally primaried last And that's why I love that homely boat!
Shiodome Caldari Black Sea Industries Cult of War	Posted - 2007.10.25 02:24:00 - [47] if i can suggest using 5 ECM drones too instead of 5 light drones. the dps of 5 light drones doesn't make much difference... but the occasional interupption of your opponents target lock makes all the difference (and the drake doesn't have any spare mid slots to fit ECM modules) _____________________________________ today i am this cool: [uncool]================[*]====[cool]
Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.25 02:45:00 - [48] Hmm, Good idea. I like how the purpose of this thread was to help a Domi pilot break a Drake's tank and it ended up helping Drake pilots fend off Domis!

Shiodome Caldari Black Sea Industries Cult of War	Posted - 2007.10.25 03:04:00 - [49] heh, caldari are team players (plus we need all the help we can get ), domi's and gallente in general have it easy enough as it is! _____________________________________ today i am this cool: [uncool]================[*]====[cool]
Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.25 03:15:00 - [50] Hey, here's a silly question. Let's say I'm fighting a Domi whose using ONLY Ogres for damage. It wouldn't really be helpful to break his lock with my ecm drones. So is it practical to use light ECM drones against heavy attack drones? (My missiles would be shooting them too, of course) If I break a drone's lock, I think it might just autotarget me back because of my aggression with their owner, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have experience with this? Originally by: Slayton Ford a Drake is normally primaried last And that's why I love that homely boat!
Shiodome Caldari Black Sea Industries Cult of War	Posted - 2007.10.25 05:04:00 - [51] drones have a sensor strength so i assume they can be jammed, not 100% sure, i am sure however that it'd be a waste of time... there'd be 5 drones to jam meaning you either rediculously micromanage to get a tiny chance to jam each individual drone (it would be tiny) or just disable 1 of 5 drones leaving the other 4 poking you in the face. it would still make more sense to use the ECM drones on the domi itself. if the domi pilot is recalling his drones as you damage them (and he should be doing if he's awake) then each time he redeploys them he needs a target lock to give his mini-minions the "attack target" command. the drones won't auto-attack you they'll just lazily orbit the domi... afaik the drone AI only auto attacks when something iniates agression against thier owner, each time you shoot doesn't count as a 'new aggression'. bah i ain't explaining it well, maybe someone else will... but imo breaking the opponents targeting lock and interfering with him assigning drones will have more effect than trying to attack the drones themselves with ECM. dunno if anyone else has thoughts on this? as i've not seen much written about it and i'd be interested in alternatives too _____________________________________ today i am this cool: [uncool]================[*]====[cool]

Get this: in 25 days, I will be flying a Drake with a 24% stronger tank AND 31% more gank than the one I lost today! AND, it will be 85mill cheaper due to the T2 launchers! I can not wait to get out there again to REALLY show them a stupidly strong Drake! Makes me giddy, almost.

Get Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II's and load them up with faction or T2 ammo and you got yourself a tough as hell nut to *** which bites back hard.
