Drake for lowsec combat sites?

Hi! I was thinking of trying some combat sites in lowsec, and was wondering if you guys have any good ideas on what to fit on it? I was thinking:

6x HM Launcher II, Scourge Navy Missiles
1x Prototype Cloak II

1x Afterburner II
1x Rat specific hardener II
1x Invul field II
3x LSE II

2x BCS II
1x SPR II
1x Co-Proc II

3x Purger Rigs

5x Warrior II

I wanted to get an MWD on it somehow for the cloak mwd trick, but it seems I have nowhere near the needed powergrid. I don't want to drop the cloak entirely, so the co-processor is a necessity, sadly. Also, should I be looking into T2 ammo? I seem to remember it being quite bad, but it's been a while...

Thoughts? Suggestions? Insults about my ships of choice and orders to scrap it and get another? Anything would be very appreciated! I haven't played the game in years and I'm quite rusty when it comes to the current meta (Indeed, when I picked my old Drake up it seems to have had an extra launcher on it that was now useless), so anything helps!



Thanks!

You want to use a standard pvp fitted HAM or HM drake, it got enough tank(if you don't want to solo L5 missions) and you won't be in a situation with your pants down if another pvp fitted ship comes your way.

The Drake got changed about a year ago, as alliances used drake fleets a lot and they where actually one of the best options, thx to lag. HAM fittings do considerably more damage now and HMs got less range.

Edit: They removed the extra penalty's(speed/cap) from T2 ammo, so it is now frequently used in pvp and pve for missile ships. Fury and Javelin missiles are very good to have, since you can hit further or harder, assuming you have a big target and a web/painter on it.

You don't need 3 LSEs for a start. Should let you fit a MWD on.
