Eve Online Drake Level 4 Mission

[theax9000]

I was running this mission on my drake last day... And I ended up quitting. There is no way to make this with a tank focused drake. Way too much time, and ammo wasted. After 2 hours killing 2 bc I said Fuck This.

My fit:

2x Invulnerability field II

3x Large Shield Externder

1x Shield Recharger... (dunno the name)

3x Recharger thingies II on low slots.

[darian1968]

you know stacking the launchers would do more DMG per shot i am shocked that your ship held to 2:48 on the clock still i am still watching :) fly safe 0/

[JSauer89]

ive found it's actually way better to buffer tank your drake for lvl 4's rather than passive, reason for this is becuz of the extended shield you will still have a decent shield recharge and you have more room to fit invuls/ extenders, and plus the lows are not taken by shield mods so u can put even more bcu's in them= more dps, with the resist and very high shield hp, lvl 4's become a joke

[DiamondChrome42]

okay let me clear it up for you noobs, he's doing what they call speed tanking where he runs so fast that he barely gets a scratch, a perfect ship to do this is the legendary Tengu, don't even need a hardener all you need is a 10MN microwarpdrive II and load all the lows with Ballistic Controls and you'll speed through L4s

[Ronerth79]

@DiamondChrome42 calling others noobs and you are fitting a MWD on a mission ship?....Other than that, with a drake and no afterburner you cant speed tank at all: slow ass ship + huge sig radius.

[DiamondChrome42]

that is lame, i can do 65km range with T1

[halobliss]

lol group your guns dammit

[vortex675]

@GeneralIXTL the drake was designed as a tanking ship more then a dps ship. the drake can have amazeing tanks but crappy dps.

which is the reason most people used the raven or navy raven in level 4 missions because they could tank and throw out dps.

[DarionTribute]

FUCK I HATE WMG

this video is fail for help. no modules showing.

information would be helpful.

[Langanator7]

Those missiles aren't heavy assault because I have my missile skills real decent and I can only fire my heavy assault missiles less than 20km, and that's with bombardment and projection 5 he has rubbish damage so he is obviously using T1 missiles without he skill warhead upgrades, when I do level 4's in my drake I have no trouble taking out most BS's, I rest my case

[lilsnake1]

r u even using any shield mods???

[Fragem420]

i can take a drake with low skills into a level 4 i had a hard time with a raven on level 3's sometimes.

[muhammed9145]

hehe same here kinda but the raven requires more skills and practice but it can own in level 4 with cruise missiles

[PrometheusSD7]

With the proper skills, a you should never have a problem with lvl3s with a Raven.

I just hate the fact that the Drake can tank almost every level 4, but can't kill most of them, and the Raven is the opposite, can kill most, but can't tank all of them . The Raven is obviously better though, if you use a mission guide you can avoid getting all the damage at once.

[nero91]

whats your setup?

[zyppygaboru]

umm 8 locked targets ? wtf ?

added ... the drake is known for an extraordinary tank ... fact is it does shit for dps ...

[kristian1267]

Use t1 missiles on your t2 launchers.. you get better range than the fury missiles.. think you get 60-70km range

BUT DAMN WHAT A TANK!!!:)

[scooobys2]

i think he has heavy assault missile launchers fitted

[aw3s0m3n1nj4]

uh, no. HAM drakes are only used in pvp. they're useless in missions. probably t2 heavy missiles.

[DJSinafox]

no, looks like normal heavy launchers:)

[scooobys2]

read the description he says his missiles have 34 km range. even with half decent skills t1 heavy missiles have 65 km range but he says he has t2 missiles and 34 km range sounds to me like heavy assault missiles

[FriutloopTom]

If you train the appropriate skills (missile bombardment and Missile projection and maby a bonous just for being in a drake) you can shoot upto 85km

[Cyrusgabe]

Drake can do lv4's passive..but dosent that take like ages?

[coldplasma]

yes which is why nobody really uses them for level 4s. Most people who can do level 4s can afford a Raven which has a strong enough tank for 95% of level 4s and has the DPS.

[SpinDizzyMR]

People always hide their passive modules cause they think they've thought up some amazing cool setup noone knows about. ^_^

Obviously gone full passive, and there is only one optimum passive tank setup for drake, sooo...

[FriutloopTom]

@SpinDizzyMR Not all of us 'hide' fit. the only button a drake should have on it is a single grouped heavy missile button and 2 hardeners to put some of that cap to use.

[masterofS200]

34km range haha dude i cant hit at 61km in a drakw with maulkoth havy missle launchers but i have added a couple skills but still before i had those i could hit at leat at 47km

and by the way were you passive t2 because thats a mean tank but still what is it?

[masmace15]

Iono I think Drake with shield extenders mix of cruise missiles, standard, and heavy. with ballistic upgrade and electronic warfare. 7 launcher slots so 2 cruise 2 heavy 2 standard and a nos+w/e else in the 8th high slot. warp disruptor & warp scrambler, stasis web.

[link250link250]

you have no clue what your talking about do you?

[khaderach19]

yeah umm...no.. cruise missiles - BS sized launchers, not gonna fit on a drake. standard launchers, those are for frigs. and scram and web on a drake? you need all the mid slots for passive tanking, lows filled with 4x spr2's or 3x spr2 + 1 bcs2

[eduardvictor]

you have no fucking idea about what you are talking about right?

Now stufu and return to WoW...

[Crunchbite37]

nice vid and great music...disturbed ftw

[Danny7930]

this is ever, the graphics suck ass

[mikeberserkr]

Watch a 3-D barbie movie then.

[HellfireSarge]

only 34 km range with t2 heavy missiles?

Im still on t1 with my drake and i can hit up to 62km with normal heavys

[iconbearer]

he can tank like that with just missiles because he has his passive modules on 'hide'

.

[alin116]

how the hell do you tank like that only with missile launchers?

[Invectoric]

i think this is a glitch/beta

1,hes got 9 ships targeted

2,as you said just missles

:)

[alin116]

yeah...think you're right...must be a beta or something like that...don't think that skills can do that much, as he says....

[HellfireSarge]

your an idiot and cant count, he has 8 ships targeted and you can do that with taregetting skills. The drake has one of the best passive tanks in the game and becasue theyre passive modules you can hide thwm with the "hide passive modules"

[masternerdguy]

tell me ur exact fitting

[nikamungus]

Awesome job. With disturbed to boot. 5/5 =)

[StarretMcdeil]

drake is a good pve ship, but for lvl 4s, although it can survive almost all missions... it is not very effective... takes way too long... and i've got 3 bcu IIs on to speed things up abit... but that's just me...

[creodron]

nigga please, Myrmy can do same the job...i have mine set up to perma run a dual reppin setup its like god only better

[omfgwtfbbq90]

I got to say Drake is really uber and overpowered, I don't even have tech II shield rechargers and not even Invulns tech II and I can do every lvl 3 with ease. Getting tech II shield rechargers tonight yeey (and extenders II too) XD

But why don't you use faction ammo? It's just as good as tech II heavy missiles but they don't have the penalty.

Tech II heavy launchers with faction ammo seems like to be the best combo there is for a Battlecruiser.

[xkai69588]

I can say that i have a stonger tank against guisti. I use 2 shield power relays 4 rat specific harderner 2 BCS (dmg mod) and 2 larger extenders and 3 purger rigs. Last room of same mission i never went below 85% my recharge time is a 300sec. Resistances will make your tank so much better. If you dont believe me run it through eft (by the way i use all tech II and Faction adn i use 7 Heavy II's)

[richdick33]

lows - shield power relays

mids - 2 or 3 extender tech 2s and 3 or 4 shields rechargers

rigs - core field purgers

plus high shield skills and BC skills to lvl4 or 5 can easily do lvl4s

[IronMarshmallow]

What skills did you have to achieve something like that? I don't know anybody who can get 92 seconds recharge time on a 13k drake. Message me or something, because If that truly is possible, I want my drake to to that too.

[nikamungus]

2 extender II's

4 Recharger II's

Low power slots should be Shield Power Relay II's

Core defense field purger I's can do it good. II's if you have 600m isk for the 3.

With that youl have the drake he has.

Theirs also Battlecruiser's rank 4 or 5 for resistance

Shield operation level 4 or 5 for the extra 20-25% rate.

[BhoyWonder1991]

lol i lose ships due to lag when i do missions :( i guess i should stick to pvp

[Fullperson]

I think you need better internet service XD

[Cikulisu]

omfg, are you even at peak recharge? nerf drake please, thank you.

joking aside, very nice.

i primary drakes ;)

[Wkmagoon]

omg your tank is very nice! but you can do much damage but, the tank is incredible :D

[eveviper262]

wrong 5 Hornet II since its against guristas, im not sad im using my core skills resists only, with a shield recharge time of 92secs helped by modules and a total shield of 13248

[PrometheusSD7]

What kind of tank is this? Passive or active? I had a Drake with a invulnerability field 2, two passive hardeners, and I think a large extender 2 and a shield recharger in mid slots. For low slots they were all shield rechargers, I also had three core defense purgers for the rigs. My recharge was only 152 seconds with resists all 62-68% with invuln on. How did you get a recharge of only 92?

[tonglil]

You've got a shield repping drone healing your shield.

[driedMango2]

cant rep yourself anyway

[GeneralXTL]

Nice tank, but you didnt seem to be doing hardly any damage.

[eveviper262]

as i said earlier "Managed to kill the entire spawn with Heavy II Fury missles, bit of a grind i admit but it is possible but with a range max of only 34km the missile range sucks" i just made this video to show the tank i have the footage of the damage i dealt ill upload it if you wish :)

[GeneralXTL]

Well im planing on getting a drake in the next few days, im still a new player. What setup would you sugest for PvE?

[Xaveak]

You can make a hurricane quite capable of tanking lvl 4 missions, not as good as Drake but nearly as good + you have more DPS...

[eveviper262]

Managed to kill the entire spawn with Heavy II Fury missles, bit of a grind i admit but it is possible but with a range max of only 34km the missile range sucks.

[spiffyspackle]

You may not have damage with that setup... but that is a awesome tank!!!!! you must be the first in on all lvl4 missions with your corp.

[pupdrummer]

love the drake's passive tank - but, no dps, not enough to make flying a drake in a lvl 4 worth it... makes me sad.
