Has anyone toyed with the new missile mods? Is a drake viable again? Or even heavy missiles in pvp at the sub bs level? Can the drake navy issue be fit to kill fast frigates using heavy missiles? I read about a missile slippery pete used by goonswarm(which died) http://evenews24.com/2015/07/12/war-in-delve-skirmishing-continues-in-fwst-8/

Yes and no, she isn't.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

It seems pyfa isnt loading the new mods correctly for me and as im posting im obviously too lazy to test beyond the app. Further thoughting still makes me wonder about the modified explosion radius the dni could get in addition to the mods, is it enough with faction or precisions to knock out a 2-3k m/s frigate with two or three volleys? Or could it be sorted out to be anti tackle without the rapid lights?

Why fly a Drake when you can fly a Cerberus?

Because you can fly 4 drakes for the cost of a cerberus. 4x drake > cerberus. EVERY. SINGLE. *******. TIME.

because every fleet always needs a Drake, you don't always need a Cerb.

Forget the Drake, Cerbs are okay but nothing out there in it's class can tank like the Sacrilege.

This is known.

Not when the Cerb has better range control.
