Missions & Complexes

Hi

It seems drakes in groups of 2s , 3s or more can run C3s with no risk of gettting blown up ... not sure what their completion rate is for comabt sites.

Can any one suggest what their builds might be and does anyone have any experience trying to do such a thing ... pros and cons ?

Was going to run some C3s and thought rather than go with something shinny , a low cost option might be better.

Thanks

You can solo them in Drakes, or you could use RR drakes, similarly fit to RR tengus, just completely lacking DPS. Those would most likely even work for C4s.

I fly amarr so this might not be accurate but im going to go on a limb here and guess:

High:
rack of HML II-s,

Mid:
3 x large shield extenders
2 x invul
1 x 10 mn AB or target painter

Low:
balance between ballistic control and shield power relay (if tank holds it needs more bcs and vice versa)

Rig: Purgers.

Any proffesional could tell am i close? I can bet my arse theres a trillion drake fits on battleclinic as everyone and their half braindead dog seem to fly drakes or tengus..

Though like i said i fly amarr, lazors, armor and golden paintjobs. My knowledge of caldari is smaller then justin biebers wiener.

I used to use something like this, i could get by with two shield power relays on most sites, the tougher mag and radar sites depending on how many people we had Id sometimes go with 4 shield power relays and a small cap transfer in the high in case someone needed some cap to get out. Now with a supporting carrier or higher dps ships it was usually this fit or 2 BCS. DPS is lacking but it will tank it quite well for the most part. 2 BCS will take a 1% implant though and the last high open. or a 5% if you leave a small cap transfer in the hi.

Oh sometimes I dropped the 3rd large extender for an AB. Just depended on how many people we had etc.

Drakes are great starter ships for w-space, just as their **little** sister, the tengu, is a great improver ship.

Drakes solo C2s without much trouble, and can solo C3s ... not quickly and not without great care. You have an almost infinite number of fitting options available to you ... depending on how you approach your sleeper killing and where your skill training is at.

Our w-space drakes were vaguely similar to those previously posted, except we tended to use an EM shield rig and a pair of purgers. We also tended not to fit ABs ... ship has decent range and they have pretty major fitting requirements. Of course there are few absolute rights and wrongs in ship fitting ... whatever ppl would have us believe :-)

Here's the sort of w-space fitting approach we took ... and not terribly different to our later tengu.

7 x Heavy Missile Launcher (Scourge variant ammo)

Large Shield Extender
Explosion Dampening Field
Heat Dissipation Field
Ballistic Deflection Field
Photon Scattering Field
Invulnerability Field

1 or 2 x Ballistic Control System - Balancing gank and tank.
2 or 1 x Shield Power Relay - Balancing tank and gank as desired.
Damage Control - I love DCs, some ppl don’t like using them

1 x Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer
2 x Medium Core Defence Field Purger

Juggle things, and the meta of the modules, to suit needs and skills. I tended to use T2 except for the specific hardeners (CN are not too expensive ... unlike their invul), BCUs (CN), and SPRs (T1 meta4). Our fit differs a little to some of the others in that we are relying a little more on resistances and a little less on buffer ... to each their own :-)

Of course we're not cap-stable either and so need great care when threatened with being neuted.

Earlier versions used fitting mods or / and ACR rig to help squeeze everything onboard.

Lol.

That's 450 per battleship for the record. You will only be solo fortifications with that.

I used to do level 3 and level 4 missions, and C2 wormholes in this:

3 of them will allow you to run C3 sites at a decent rate, not great though. I use a drake and 1 NH and im happy with that,. will upgrade to 2 NH when training is done for other char.

advantage of drake/NH is that you don thave to worry about being webbed or neuted ( as long as you invul II are active ) , just fit a passive tank with 2/3 purger rigs, 2 invul II, 3 LSE2, and 1 EM resist amp 2 and you wont have any trouble.

You will need at least 2 drakes, to do anom in a reasonable time, 3 or 4 is much better
