These ships are all a tad underpowered in terms of DPS. Particularly the Drake.

CNR, underpowered DPS. What are you smoking?

My Condor costs less than that module!

Come to think of it, I forgot one - add the Golem Marauder to the list as well.

Nothing wrong with the drake or any other Caldari cruiser hull. They just need to buff heavies and hams a bit. All other missile systems are in good shape.

I'd rather fly a Navy Drake, and that has LESS DPS. It's not about the DPS son. Golem has insane Torp DPS and might have the highest DPS of any battleship, but it's all for naught when you do 40% reduced damage on a battleship you can't seem to stay in range of.

I agree that rocket, light and cruise missiles are fine where they are, with heavy, ham and torps needing a little bit more damage application. (not going to mention citadel missiles)

I also agree that caldari ships seems to have missed the mark slightly with missile.
For a weapon systems that screams "adaptability" with selectable damage types, steady damage, with the same effectiveness at any range; it seems odd that quite a few caldari ships only take advantage of two of these's aspects.

I would like to see more roles to increase the damage application with caldari missile boats and allow them to take advantage of the weapon systems full potential without sacrificing effectiveness.

But, this all comes down to balance; projectiles also have selectable damage, but are less flexible than missiles, and each ammo type has its disadvantages; however at the same time missiles can be shot down, and suffer from the delay as they fly to the target, so it's a difficult subject to argue.

To sum up, would love to see caldari take full advantage of missiles (being able to select damage, and not limit it to winmatar in terms of effectiveness) just care needs to be taken when doing so.
