Proposed Drake ROF / Velocity bonus changes don't hurt the HAM drake, much.

Ok, first quote is what I fly now in low sec. 2nd one is what I would fly if proposed bonus changes go into effect.

Net difference would be:
4k less buffer,
-7 shield regen
longer range weapons (more reason to go disruptor vs scambler?)
Damage type versatility gained
slight reduction in cap stability percent ( 79 vs 66 with mwd off )
- ( 3.5 minutes vs. 4.5 minutes with everything running )
loss of sebo
use 5% more ammo

not much difference really. I wouldn't mind the change. Boils down to a Scan resolution nerf for me.

Of course if you want to nerf the thing, something else might be in order. Twisted

Note: both fits do require a PG4 implant to work.

The shield regain really doesn't matter at all on a buffer tanked ship.

Also if you want to see anything even close to full damage from rage missiles you need to loose the sensor booster and use a target painter. If CPU is too tight for it drop the scram and web down to meta3/4. The target painter isn't optional when using rage missiles.

But I agree with the general point your making dps increase + ehp reduction definitely brings the drake in line with the other tier 2 bcs. Just a shame that it will probs require a 2nd hit from the nerf bat to bring it in line with the tier 1 bcs.
