Advice? [Apologies for another drake thread]
7x Arbalest Heavies
1x Tractor
2x Invuln II's
2x Large Shield Extenders II
2x Rat Specific Active Hardeners (Although usually I'm lazy and leave this kin/therm)
2x PDU II's
2x BCU II's
3x Purger Rigs
Currently I'm just shy of 5m sp and can do all the level 3 missions without warping out. Thinking about moving up to level 4, but I don't think I have the damage or tank with a drake, even though I know it can be done. If this were your drake, what would you be doing?
Note: I like being lazy and not swapping fittings per mission, although that seems to be the norm with level 4 builds. Is there a reasonable build that accomidates this?

those pdus should be switched to shield power relays II. If you cant fit it pg wise and if it isnt cap stable with shield power relays II be patient and train for advanced weapon upgrades, shield upgrades, engineering and maybe missile skills for t2 launchers. beeing hasty results in ship loss and frustration in eve :)

That raises a question about T2 launchers - I don't feel like the T2 missiles are cost effective for missioning and the ROF on the arbies is identical to the T2 launchers, while the T2 launchers cost more to fit. What is the advantage from an arbalest?
Can you even make money using faction ammo in level 3's?
Thanks

You will not have enough dps with a drake to do lvl 4 missions.
Use a raven, yeah it's boring and cookie cutter and generally blows, but it gets the job done.

T2 launchers and turrets gets the bonus from the 2% RoF per level specialization skill. So very much worth it.

Exchange PDU fnr SPR, except for that, a solid lvl 3 ship .. lacks the dps for lvl 4

2xInvul + 2x specific hardeners? Ehem, that is far from optimal. Drop one Invul and put a shield recharger T2 there if you cant fit a third large shield extender T2. As someone else said, replace the PDU's for a third BCU and a SPR or two SPRs. This, in combination with the purger rigs makes your tankability some 120 shield points per second.
With this setup you can tank ALL lvl 4 missions. DPS is a bit low, but dont worry...it is enough to manage lvl4s. A typical lvl4 mission takes approximately 1 hour to complete with a Drake and gives 5-15M isk (without looting and salvaging).
