Hi all!

So the other day I got a Drake. And I have fit it well with tech 1 stuff. Because I want to keep it as cheap as possible.
I was wondering if anyone has a good low sec, or null sec, or wormhole PvE tech 1 fit.
Then I thought 'What if someone want sot PvP?' So I am also wondering if anyone has a good low sec, or null sec, or wormhole PvP tech 1 fit.

I would appreciate all help given.
Thanks!

Here's a fairly simple and standard Drake fit (built for WHs, but all you need to do is change the hardeners and trade the salvager for a launcher to use it in rat-specific lowsec):

[Drake, WHs]
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Damage Control II

Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Photon Scattering Field II
Experimental 10MN Afterburner

Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Trauma Heavy Missile
Salvager I
Core Probe Launcher I, Sisters Core Scanner Probe I

Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I

Warrior I x5

And you can get away with T1/named gear in with a lot of those things, but for how little training time it is, you really should be able to use the T2 stuff before you're diving into WHs/lowsec with the thing.

Tech II is actually may be cheaper than meta4 and in case of tank and weapon upgrades are much better. So I'd recommend advancing towards T2 fitting.

For PVE you should aim to get your "Passive Shield Recharge Rate" as high as possible. Above 100HP/s in raw numbers and 400+ after ressists. This is done via "Core Defence Field Purgers" and "Shield Power Relays". Note that Meta4 SPR is better than T2.

[Drake, Drake PVE]

'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Trauma Heavy Missile
[Empty High slot]

10MN Afterburner II
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Photon Scattering Field II

Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I
Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I

Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I

Ressists modules vary according to the npc you're to face. You may swap some Shield Power Relays and Ballistic Control Systems according to your needs. This particular fit can do C3 WH in a gang of Drakes/Tengus.

PVP fit emphasis on massive EHP buffer(90+k for this fit), Use LSE's and Core Defence Field Extenders. 3xBallistic Control Systems for max damage. You might want to use HAM setup but some ppl would question its viability. Also note that EM ressist module, with it EM is your highest ressist so lol at minmatard peeps shooting EMP at you.

PS: GET T2 LAUNCHERS!!! They're much better and take less time to train for than medium turrets.

heavy assault missile

The U.S. Navy has developed a railgun that can hit a target the size of a watermelon from about 200km away.  its probably around 8,000 years in the future, we can go faster then light, be immortal, teleport capital ships, communicate instantly, mine asteroids and make ships invisible,yet still our railguns can't even hit a massive spaceship over 100km....

I thought they were gonna nerf the Drake a while back? Something about taking out the +damage and replacing it ith + RoF or velocity... What happened to that?

No, its not a troll, I been out of the game since pretty mucj the Goon Interdiction thing started (I wasnt affected, it was just that obvious Highsec would never fight back, figured itd never end and took a vacation)

Ive always had issues with it cause the ship is slow as hell to start with and even with mwd and such, the cap goes byebye an youre STILL slow. So I usuaally just go with the long range missiles

Goons; infiltration at its best - first bob... now ccp itself. They dont realize you guys dot take this as "just a game". Bring it down guys, we're rooting for you.

Never heard of anything such as that but I also play for a month or 2 and than leave for months at a time. Doubt they will ever take out the damage mod and give it a rof mod instead. That would give it more DPS, 5% rof > 5% dmg per lv. Now for them swapping the dmg bounus to velocity doubt that to, it would make the DPS of that BC useless and it's only use would be to absorb damage.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.
