Don't Angel ships have really high kinetic resists?

higher than their explosive, yes.
high enough to negate the drake's damage bonus? not a chance.


The Drake I just lost and replaced with this one routinely was going up against Angels and crushing them, event he BS rats worth well over 881K. I lost it to a escalation against 5 such BS and another one worth 2.5 mill all at once.

I stripped the ship and refitted and grouped it and tested it out against a 900K rat and the problem seems to be resolved. My first volley took it down to about 60% shields. Two more volleys latter and it was taking deep bites out of its armor.

If there is a known grouping issue with this latest patch that must have been what it was.

The grouping issue has been around for a while. Ungrouping and regrouping the weapons should have been able to fix it, no need to dock up and refit.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Dear Angel BS Rat - What are your resists?

Dear Capsuleer - 99% resist to sexual deviancy.

Well, there's your problem. Furry missiles tend to be a bit too soft to apply any real damage.


If the fur flies fast enough it can cut right through a ship Shocked

Have you tried launching 2 furries at a time?

Would YOU take the risk of putting two furries in the same launch tube?

Imagine my surprise when I have pumped 30 rounds into this rat with a Target Painter and I cannot get this rat down below 75-80% shields!



I have had this happen to me as well in a DED site before the patch. I bought a new Drake, fitted it with t2 modules/weapons and went inside the site. Regular frigates that normally instant popped were dying after 4-5 volleys. The last guy I couldn't even get below 95% shields. Stripped the modules from the ship/logged off and re-logged and everything went back to normal.

That's the one advantage to furry ammo... The next furry fired cleans the launcher barrel as they travel through it. In fact, after every 20 explosive missiles it's probably wise to fire a round of raccoon or squirrel Gallente. The velour wipes the launchers clean.
