It still doesn't have as much shields as I would like for wormholes, but at least it's not getting worse, now!!!

Please give more defense to the raven or rokh, tho...or...someone suggest another ship to use for wormholes? I tried fittings for the raven, and it's worse in defense than a drake HAHAHAHAHA so what's the point in paying an extra 100million isk for it????

I need to train my missile skills, btw, lol.

I for one hope that the proposed Drake buff goes ahead.

so there should be no ships at all with high tanking?

in that case i will just mine whenever i play...does that suit you better?

and if you get rid of mining i will station trade or just quit playing altogether, suit yourself

I think nerfing the drakes is a bad idea. Drakes are good at what they do. Each race has its own ship in its own category that is compelingly good vs the ones in the other races. This promotes cross training and its positive for eve. It gives advantags to people that cross train races. In some races interceptors are better, in others battlecruisers are better, in others cruisers are better and in others battleships are better. The drake is fine. Its good to have ships that have a specialization in different areas.
Instead what they should do is buff the ships that are a bit predicated. Buff their pvp usability or give it other roles. Sometimes nerfing a thing is not the right answer, instead buff the other ships like the ferox which is really really weak and has no real usability. Remember CCP, release thir potential not nerf them to hell! The ferox today is under used not cos of the drake BUT cos its a really crappy ship. The ferox has no real advantages in its bonuses that you can use to channel it out. I do fleel however that the cost of the drak should go up! Make the production of a drake cost more!

The new role bonus for AF _is_ a drake nerf.

It might be that your expectations of what a Tech 1 battlecruiser ought to be able to do are a little too high.
