Ok so I just picked up a drake for the first time and is really is pve on easy mode. If is was easier than this before the 1.1 nerf then it really did need it. Good job Devs

PVE is easy mode... although to be honest the only real issue i have with the rebalance is the range nerf on heavies... other than that it isnt that big of a deal i mean yea i kinda miss that tank but most of it is still there.

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

The Drake is still a great ship, but it took a pretty serious kick in the nads when using heavies, and is now basically restricted to kinetic damage. It had more damage flexibility before.

That said, it's still arguably the best battlecruiser. It was just flat out ridiculous before.

Drake is way old news.

The new Drake is the tengu, and who doesn't have 5 of those....

Yep, given the nerfs and 450 nonkinetic dps, Tengu is at just about where Drake was before the nerf, at a cost...Lol

Wait, you mean Drakes can solo incursions now?

Oh, you mean missions. Missions are already easy mode, drake or no. Well, mildly annoying mode if you're a drone guy.

Me. I have a CNR and a Rattlesnake. A Tengu is like a European pocket rocket, whereas a CNR & RS is like a Dodge Viper. There's no replacement for displacement Blink
