Gallente pilot doing some training in Caldari ships. What are some good Drake solo and gang fits?

Podla Drake, sits at range hammering enemy with missile volleys. Double web slows frigates down enough that they die fast, and allows you to dictate range.
2nd web can also be changed for different ewar for different situations. Good for fighting outnumbered.

While you are training those missile skills

77k ehp 554 deeps
will actually get you fights from people who think you fail at life

No problemo, always keen to help those that feel the call of the donk.

In the few times I have flown a HAM drake, I have swapped one invuln for a web. Mostly for frigates.

I personally prefer a mix between the Nano and Fleet Drake for small gang work.

I sometimes replace the Web with a Painter, ECCM or Sensor Booster which also gives me enough CPU to through a Small Neutralizer in the Utility High.

Keep in mind the drake is getting some changes, its hard to consider them nerfs, but they will have some impact on the fits.

Ditch the resist Bonus for Range and give it an RoF Bonus if the changes go through.

Here is the new Drake. I removed the Battlecruiser Resist Bonus from EFT to get a peak at the Tank and have been making a few practice fits for it.

This one has 66k EHP and hits to 30km with HAM Damage.

I would say that PvP wise both Fleet or Small Gang the change doesn't really change all that much. The ship will still be heavily used but hopefully a little less then before. I can get her to 90K EHP without tackle and 80k with. For more Damage and more Damage Types at max lock Range that will keep the Drake in service.

widespread use....

I flew these before drake train during pre-dominion. There were no mobs with pitchforks calling for nerf. Quite the contrary....you could be in certain crews and be asked if you could fly anything better lol. Why I x-trained away....one day I jsut got tired of that question. then months later it just became an "op" beast that needed to be put down. With no nerf or buff applied to it or anyother bc lol. Just some peeps said lets see what happens when we fly these in fleets of 50-100.


the change won't change much imo. It should actually fix the drake a little. I never liked its rof so if boosted its a good thing. Resists....meh. If ganked by enough people, or the right number of certain ships like say muninn gangs, drake still goes down like any other ship. ROF is something you can'[t really fix in pvp. Assuming a pdu and dcu....less room to fit BCU's. Not much room for rigs to fix it either with the usual pvp rigs run. I don't mind this change if it happens tbh....increases chance of getting moar damage on target.

If it's really ROF and Speed (impact or travel?) Drakes can loose 20K EHP instead of 10 !
Those are already omnipresent in pvp but after changes if they're not done correctly this BC will became a pure murderer and an obvious preferred choice in fleets/gangs (hello I can sit tank you and spit 100% dmg from----------------------------------------------------->here?)

Anyway, expect more tears than there are already about Drakes in this forum.
