Handy discussion here already on the proposed changes to Caldari.

And that damn cake had better be supplanted by a sumptuous steak 'n kidney pie. With a generous dollop of tomato sauce, hmmkay?

So is "balancing Tier 2 Battlecruisers."

They're all--the Drake arguably most of all--already the game's best-balanced ships.

E: How does one effectively passive shield-tank a Naga, exactly?

Well you have to admit that most ship are designed for a specific role. The Drake does EVERYTHING and CCP and the CSM sees this as a problem.

Pfft, one of my corp mates fly those things exclusively almost and the only thing that ship has going for it is its tank.

You're confusing the Drake with a Tengu, it does far more than the Drake.

That would classified more as a buffer tank than that of a "passive" tank.

The mad is strong in this thread. The Drake IS overpowered, and it has been for a long time - but I'm sure no amount of argument will convince the Draketards otherwise because everyone's mind is already made up.

Must be some split hair problem(s) that I need to address with a change in shampoo, but definition of a buffer tank is..?

'Cause I thought passive and buffer tank pretty much meant the same thing...

Thanks in advance!

guess Nnamuachs is complaining that the passive shield recharge on your fitting is too low to tank effectively.
