Maybe 20% bonus to shield hp instead of missile bonus. Full shield tanking then add turret hard points for flexible fittings...

Is that my two cents or yours?

When I wrote the first draft I was thinking, what would a good idea for a turret that isn't being used that much, so heavy beam lasers came to mind.

Only later I figured, hey someone will probably fit pulses and 33 heavy neuts on.

By the way,

20% per level = 100% at level V = 2 * x and beam lasers could use some help in Gleam M range.

Wait.... heavy missiles are still in the game? I thought they were a novelty thing for veteran pilots to laugh at when newbies post a HML fit. Or, soon, a LML fit.

I don't understand how can this class be useful without having bonus to salvage items
Why did I level up for if not for that?

Currently the Drake has six launcher slots but no turret slots.

I propose to give the Drake some additional powergrid and six turret slots.

The bonuses on Drake could be changed to:

Caldari Battlecruiser skill bonus:

20% Medium Laser tracking and damage per level

10% reduction on capacitor usage for medium laser turrets

Note:

Can fit warware link module


I think a better profile would be:

10% to the optimal and falloff of projectile weapons
20% bonus to afterburner and mwd velocity bonus
Can fit warfare links

+300 Powergrid
+6 turret slots (no changes to slot layout, so still 7/6/4)

what do you think? I feel that the only caldari boat that ever really saw laser use was the tachyon raven and projectiles are the go to weapon for unbonused turrets.

Well, seeing as how this is just for sh*ts and giggles… I'd bump the power grid and CPU on Combat Battlecruisers such that they can run 4 large and 2-4 medium weapons. So I'd leave the Drake's 20% shield bonus, turf the 50% kinetic bonus and give it a 50% missile velocity bonus. Then it could run 4 rapid heavy and 2 heavy or rapid light missile launchers.

As for the Navy Drake, keep the bonuses intact - but let it run 4-6 rapid heavy launchers and 2-4 heavy or rapid light missile launchers.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
