I have only done WH Relic and Data sites. Now training my missiles so I can use a drake. Your vids are so easy to watch, and inspire me to get out of my comfort zone. Thanks, Cpt.
Very glad to inspire! Good luck and have fun!
When I started playing EVE Online 13 years ago, I wanted to fly a Drake.
About 80 million skillpoints later, I still want to fly a Drake.
Thank you for your video.
Glad you enjoyed!
Lol I saw the title and thought...."Can I bring my Drake?"
Lmao 😂 old meme best meme
Used to use my Drake to clear rats in Gas sites for my Corpmates when we lived in a C2, so of course also did the combat sites. There were one or 2 sites you had to be careful with but in the 2 years I was doing this I never lost a single Drake. Still miss those days.
Awesome! It's such a great ship!
Thank you! I've never flown a drake and was looking for a good starting point, this showed me the strengths and a good fit.
Glad it helped!
Tried this fit and it worked like a charm. I swapped out the shield amps for multispectrum shield boosters and when they got me higher EHP and resistances I realized it was because I hadn't trained the shield amp skills at all, which I now have begun doing. Thanks for this fitting guide!
Glad it helped!!
simplest rule of passive regen is resists over hp so higher percentage is always better
I'm a Drake fan since 2010... I'll give it a try, thank you
Good luck! o7
Many years ago when I moved over to the Raven as my daily, I always missed my missile Drake. Great boat 👍🏾
What I like about videos like this is it inspires ideas and things to do in Eve. You make a good case for something I should test out. Thanks.
Go for it! Good luck and let me know how you get on! o7
Don't go and use a drake untill you have at BARE minimum lvl 4 in the bc skill AND in the supporting skills (shields, weapons etc) or you'll find that it's not as easy as this captain is trying to lead you on. You will need to skill for shields so your shield doesn't get drained as fast, you will need alot of the so called magic 14 skills or you can't fit the ship properly.
This all is all before you even consider getting jumped by a cloaked t3 that will have you for lunch (again, especially if you're poor in the skill department)
other than that, the drake is a fine pick and very suitable. I've used them in groups to make clearing a wh system really fast. Apart from the passive shield regen, there was the panic route if someone dared to jump us and single out one of us: we were spider fitted, which means for a certain duration we could boost each others shield back up. With the many many missiles that would come at you from all our drakes, not much would dare engage unless it was really thouroughly prepared and given that we would have scouted ahead: not going to happen either.
also if you've been at it for a while, consider using a navy drake if you've built up bank enough. Probably best not to jump in blind though!
Agreed with everything except the Navy Drake. It barely does the sites faster, is just as susceptable to being ganked as the standard, but for a significantly higher cost. If you're going to spend that much on a ship, better to aim for a Cerberus or similar.
I love the drake..I like to use hams instead of heavies and make use of drones and tractor beam for the loot ,but that's just for the current event ..for wh you're fit seems pretty decent
I do love HAMs, just the Drake is so slow it can slow down Anomalies drifting into range, hence heavies 😊
You could also have a Mobile depot with the Probe Launcher and probes in cargo for equip and use only if needed.
True!
The drake looks like half a typhoon.
🤔
And they both kinda look like the tengu with the gravitron subsystem
How dare you say something so controversial and so true.
Yeah it kinda does 😂
@@captainbenziepersonal request/question, feel free to ignore: Is it possible to do this in a vedmak?
One thing that wasn’t mentioned that is critical to passive shield tanking is the regeneration gradient.
Shield regeneration is lowest at 100%, and this is the value shown in the fitting screen. It maxes out at 30% shield, though I don’t know the formula.
Tl;dr if your shield doesn’t stabilize by 30% you are not going to tank it.
I saw a drake doing type 4 security missions ... I have seen everything.
You can heavily tank a drake and do some of them, but it's very slow! 😅
This is how I first started, this and the Harbinger. Then moved onto T3 Cruisers then a Marauders, although I do like using a thrasher for lols In C2s occasionally.
Great Videos and love to see your content!
Thrasher isln C2s??? Really??

When you warp into the site you make a perch so you can warp to it after each wave and then warp down closer to each new spawn rather than flying to them. You need to keep your speed and transversal up like you would do with manual flying in PVP.
It can do all the combat sites not the data/relic

@@1982Clarkey oh damn, thank you!!
Quite late, but I remember flying a Drake very similar to this while I lived in a hole back before I took a break from EVE a few years ago. Getting back into the game again now, and decided to use this as a baseline to update my old fit for hole diving. Only modifications are that I used T2 rigs and replaced the Guidance Computer with a Multispectrum Hardener 2. Need to wait a while longer for ships to get in range, but it's significantly tankier, and should made C3 holes somewhat more viable.
Good luck and welcome home!
Just to confirm, if you're using the caldari navy scourge heavies you only need to worry about which script is running? While more expensive, that seems like the easier approach to take if not super comfortable with switching missile types yet and 1 less thing to worry about.
Switching scripts will still help your clear times. Use the Precision for most of it, swapping to range when you need a bit more.
Thank you for the content! I'm currently only a few skills off to complete this build! The last missile and the last drone skill and I'll have it! Then I need to buy them haha and train them for 2months :( but I'm almost there!
Awesome! I hope you have fun!
Actually quite happy to see the drake isn't just a meme! Getting back into EO and wanting to rat,so starting in an algo and moving up! Drake might be endgoal
Drake is a great ship and you can train into it quickly
@@captainbenzie you wouldn't happen to have a skill plan for it floating around would you?
I fit my Drake like a Command Ship with burst modules...since that's something I'd maybe like to do later. Your signature radius is HUGE. Not sure you can reduce incoming damage on that thing.
@@drgnslr154555 Lots of missile skill training ahead. Other than that, look what requirements the fit parts had, you're quite good to go along those lines. Probably faster to get some use is to first train just a bit of the missile skills, then go for the equipment requirement, then head for the lvl 5 heavy missiles and heavy missile specialization after it. Well.. of course the battlecruiser skill as well and bits here and there, but I'd go like battlecruiser 3 + basic (relatively fastly trained) missile skills, equipment requirement, then to the heavy missile specialization. "Fast" is relative here...
Yes, you can still bring your Drake.
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
I did a build along while watching the video. The only thing I would do differently is make the EM shield amp a Pithum-C and swap out the thermal shield amp for a multispectrum shield hardener II. With my skills its giving me 66EM 53TH 65KN 71EX with 58k EHP. I'm still cap stable at 68.2%. I also went with the field purger 2's so the regen is sitting at 222. Great video and great build!!
Nice! I worry about 53TH though, and what's the cost of a Pithum C-Type EM Shield Amp?
@@captainbenzie That's definitely a concern, the added shield regen plus taking less damage from all other types would hopefully offset it. If it dies we know it doesn't work lol. Thanks for the reply!
@@stevejohnson6248Well... Did it die? 😂
@@Razzlion I think I ended up gifting it to my corp as a loaner ship. It performed great the few times that I used it.

True story: I bought the fit and it died one jump away from our staging to a blops fleet. But that's life in eve, and the ship is not that expensive.
Oof 😅
Such an overkill for a 90 mil isk ship lol.
@@chucknorrisffs You should have seen it pre-nerf 15 years ago.. Nothing Battleship or smaller could touch it. Usually took 2-3 of the meta battleships of the time to bring it down
running fleets of these were amazing and the days are gone.
This is right up there in my memories though with ganking macro ice miners using 3 hour old alts and destroyers in 1.0 space.
And our 2 best achievements ever (to the point CCCP wrote to us and told us to stop, in a game that allows, pretty much anything)
The Jita scam, where we convinced people to become temp war targets, warped them out to deadspace in Jita and gank them.. no cops. We ransomed a freighter for fortune once.
And the Private message spam.. Spam someone with a PM request fast enough and they can't turn any modules on, move, dock anything at all.. so while you do that.. you gank them. Great for those annoying pests who sit on dock or gate.. and super funny for podding.

I am no combat pilot, but i still like to have knowledge in combat
Currently i am flying an endurance (finally), and i love it. I use it for ice and ore, was worth the 25 million isk it costed
With the 300% role bonus to ore and 50% ice mining yield, paired with the high capacity, Miner II, and 3 t2 mining drones it can tear rocks apart quite fast (also can hold 3 light drones against rats). For ice i have to use t1 stuff, as i am lacking the skills still to go t2, and will be for some time. I also like that i can just cloak up when in danger (probably saved my ass twice today), and i am not stopping to beef up the drones even more, before getting a barge, or hell even a propoise straight up. I will use the endurance for a while, as i like speed, and i dont mind the slower mining rate too much (yes a procurer can mine faster, but the skills take time, and it costs way more)
I will keep doing this for a while, before getting started in industry, and start to make some stuff
Work towards the modulated deep core miners. It's ridiculous how much rock you can eat (on an endurance with 1 modulated DCM and a type A crystal I, I can get 1400m3 per cycle without any additional upgrades; on a prospect, I can get 773m3 per miner per cycle with 2 miners), but the only downside is the limited range of rocks you can mine depending on your crystals and the need to skill into each crystal separately. Imo the expedition frigates are much more lucrative than a procurer, just because you can mine in really sketchy areas.
@@benji45645 yeah, i was thinking about DCMs. I will use an endurance for a while, even if i will fly a propoise
@@versinussyrin577 fly safe o7
@@versinussyrin577 you should “seed” shattered wormhole systems with an alpha. The ice in these wormholes is crazy valuable..!
If you're sitting still, you're NOT pre-aligned. Being aligned means being at atleast 75% of your maximum speed and going in the direction of whatever you want to warp to. If you then click warp, you'll warp immediatly. Sitting still, you will need to get up to speed first, which will in case of this drake cost 8.21 sec. Plenty time to get tackled.
I didn't say I was aligned and I've explained this mechanic in other videos 😉
How can you do that and orbit? Or do you not orbit?
@@kyleherrera3387 You can't do that whilst orbiting.
@captainbenzie OK, I thought so, I guess my ultimate question is, how can you "be aligned" and get anything else done? In other words, if being aligned is achieved as described above, meaning you have to be up to speed and facing the target you are aligned with, how can you engage in combat or mine minerals for instance if you are just constantly traveling towards the gate? To me, it seems pretty pointless. Does this make any sense or am I.missing something?
@kyleherrera3387 No, you've got it.
Hi. Does this also work for the Cosmic Signature sites?
Just got a drake today. Do you think I should use your passive shield fit or do active shield fit? Also I always like to slap on a damage control or a multi spectrum hardener for the extra resistances, so which modules should I replace?
Active or passive depends on your skills and playstyle. Passive is much safer when neuts are involved as your tank holds even when out of capacitor.
In the case of the fit here, I don't think a DCU is necessary, it works without it. If you really wanted to add one, you could swap any of the lows. Swapping the BCU would up your survivability, but lower your damage, meaning sites take longer and use more ammo, but swapping a relay will reduce your passive shield regen - this may not be an issue as you'll have higher resists but does somewhat negate the point of fitting a DCU.
Ahh, the good old battle plank
Haha that's a name I've not heard before!
Decided to take my Harbinger out Wormhole ratting today. Wish me luck!
Good luck! Stay frosty!
I have a question. I've been fiddling with a fit for the Cyclone for ratting in C2s, where it's fitted for both combat and scanning. Now, I know that this idea is not optimal, but I really like the concept of staying in one ship for both scanning and fighting and the Cyclone has two high slots to spare. My Heron would definitely scan faster, but then I need to take the time to warp between ships. It has fairly impressive dps and the bonus to shield boosters can make it rather tanky. The only downside is the longer scan time and honesly, for casual play I don't mind taking a little longer scanning down anomalies. Is there something I'm missing? Am I totally crazy? 😀
how about exchanging one shield power relay with a damage control II? What do you think about it
If you find you're not taking much damage, it's doable. With only L4 Caldari BC (16% resists rather than full 20%), I found I was barely surviving some of the tougher waves. Bear that in mind. 😊
Thanks for the videos im a beginner and try to do datasites but the last 3 days i dont have Any luck 😅
You got this!
Hi Captain. I do not achieve the flight range you present in the video. What is the related skill for this? Could you help me with this?
Many of the skills for the BC and Missile Projection 😉
lol this fit has been around since wormholes have been around
Test of time
is there a chance u could do a vid on planet industry? also love ur vidss
I am really new to eve and already mae alot of money doing exploration. But i have no clue on wthat to skill into. Do you have a skill plan or anything for the build? Also in what corp are you?
Shield regen on is not linear. Most regen is at about 30%. I don't worry unless it quickly approaches 40%.
Yup
Hi I have spend almost every hour of my summer holiday working up to 100 mill isk. If this works, I’ll be very grateful, but if it doesn’t, I’m pretty much broke. The heavy missile launcher 2s take a month to skill into, would it be viable just to use heavy missile 1s? Also is the Mobile Tractor Unit available to alpha’s? And could this method lead to me to PLEX my account? Very useful video 👍😄
Use Arbalests, never T1, and yes the Drake will still work. Also, never fly anything you can't afford to lose. If losing this ship will make you broke, save up a little more first.
May I ask you why there's no Rykki's guide mentioned or in description? That is the single best tool when it comes about wormhole ratting.
Because I'm showcasing the fit, not the guide. It's an excellent tool that I use myself, but I'm running on the understanding that this video is the fit and ship only so as not to end up making it longer than it needs to be. That said, I should absolutely do a video on Rykkis Guide!!
You could do C3's but I would steer clear of the Outpost site. That site wrecks and you need at least 600 ehp/s. Additionally clear speed wise you may not do more than 2 per hour. Might do less if your skills are low so I would recommend higher skills before taking on C3's.
Fit wise I would put a EM Hardener and Multi Hardener in replace of the EM and Thermal shield simply because Sleeper rats deal omni damage. At All 5 you are still cap stable. If capacitor is a concern I would recommend turning off hardeners when most of the cruisers and battleships have been taken off the field (Passive tank is still 300 EHP/s). Good practice for capacitor management. I would recommend a precision script if you feel like hitting frigates with heavy missiles.
Doing this gives a max 532 ehp/s and cap stable at 46.2% (94.8% without hardeners)
Sleeper rats do not deal omni damage. They have EM/Thermal turrets, and Explosive/Kinetic missiles. These two weapons will deal different damage to different ships. Because the Drake is slower and heavier, it gets hit by the turrets solidly. The missiles in C2s are usually light missiles and do not do much Exp/Kin damage to the ship.
It's not always about the theoretical/paper EHP, its about what that means in practice (the example I give here is that if you had 50% resistances across the board, you might have more EHP than a ship that's got 60% EM/Therm, 30/20 Kin/Exp, but I'd rather use the second ship if I'm going against a laser ship)
Why didn't you loot the Unit, show the total loots WORTH in cargo? I was waiting to see if what you claim 20 mil is real or not but that didn't happen?
The loot in all J-Space sites is set. You can check it on EVE University or EVE Survival.
Is it worth it to use the navy issue one instead of the tech 1 drake?
That's up to you. It's definitely better and clears slightly faster, but it is notably more expensive, meaning it's going to take longer to make its cost back and you risk more if you lose it.
I'm not so sure this build is alpha friendly nor skill friendly. As someone who has been working on this build, its pretty hard getting 250 dps, let alone 400 as seen in the fitting without alot of skill training and omega items such as the missiles. It also does need a reasonable level of training in energy and capacitor skills to be able to be used. It's a decent build imo but the idea of 80mil per hour is abit of a high bar without most of the skills needed trained in the high range and certain omega items.
The skills are all Alpha friendly - you mention the missiles specifically, but an Alpha can train Heavy Missile 5 and Heavy Missile Specialisation 3, which is exactly what I'm using here. I'm also using Caldari BC 4 only, which is the Alpha cap, and even my missile support skills are only max 4, whereas an alpha caps at 3. The difference between Missile Bombardment 3 and 4 is 2%. I didn't say "Day One", it's an aspirational ship for sure, but it is absolutely alpha friendly.
I'm also using zero implants, and alpha's can train Biology/Cybernetics 3. That would make up for the skill cap limit.
I would love to know what skills you have for this because I just bought this exact setup and my dps, ehp...etc are nowhere near yours
You don't need the same skills and DPS as I have here. Being able to fly the ship and fit with decent skills is enough. As I say in the video, it'll run the sites well at lower skills, they just take slightly longer.
@@captainbenzienahhh, first i had 44km max flight missile range with the guidance range script, and 1500damage, and almost the half of the shield recharge, i tried it, it didnt work, i died, after 2 months of skill training it was 64 km i think and 2062 damage and and 100~ shield recharge, i had to warp out 3 times to beat all the 3 waves, i dont want to be that guy, but hell nah, you have to be omega and train allat to have beat c2 wh sites
@@petertisza9089 simply not true as I was alpha when I first did it, during my time with Signal Cartel. Neither the Drake nor the combat sites have changed since then. You just need to kite.

Nice vids. Greetings Form germany
Glad you like them!
I think you MUST train heavy missile 5? Otherwise at level 3 I have only 200 ish DPS...
You'll need that for the T2 Launchers anyway
Benzie, can this fit clear other content such as C3s
It can do C3s with the right skills but it's VERY slow. Better to use something like a Cerberus
Interesting, i suppose it's ok for C2, but i'd still rather have an active fit with less shield extenders, so more ballistic control to do a bit better DPS and a missile computer just to have abetter chance of fighting a virtue fitted ninja scanning ham loki.
I love flying drakes. Is this high, low or null sec?
J-Space (wormholes)
Can't imagine being in WH space with out the ability to cloak right now.
Join a wormhole corp. I rarely fly a cloaked ship now except when scouting
Could I run this fit with T1 missile launchers and faction ammo?
Not T1. Use Arbalests, and yes.
when i throw this in the simulator im only getting about 200 DPS would yo know the reason for that? I just started a few weeks ago but I am omega, I was assuming this would have something to do with skills?
Skills for sure, but check you're using Scourge Missiles too
Do you think it would be worth it to pack some salvager drones?
Absolutely! I tend to leave all the MTUs bookmarked (scoop the MTU, leave the bookmark) then I come back and salvage everything with a dedicated salvager
The salvage isn’t worth a great deal of isk. However I am training into tech 3 manufacturing right now so it all adds up for me. For a c2 site. I’d say the salvage is only around 4-500k per site max..
What about an active shield Cyclone?
Quite probably! One I need to skill into and try?
I am getting problem with fitting - powergrid and cpu is -20. What should I do?
Train fitting skills like Powergrid Management and CPU Management
One of the biggest mistakes a new player makes is going gung-ho into training weapons, then finding they cannot fit them because they didn't do fitting skills first. Common mistake in this game, may take time but get them up to 4 or 5 as soon as.
"Somehow I've still managed to make it into a minmatar ship". 😂
Yup! That's the best way!

Absolutely
Hi quick question is it possible to get your overview?
I use the Signal Cartel one, freely available from their website 😊
@@captainbenzie thank you
@@Anvilshock 😂
Whats the minimum dps and ehp for this fit to work well?
Couldn't honestly tell you, offhand. Have Caldari BC 4, and get your shield and missile skills to 3/4 at least.
is 270 dps enough?😢
If you are a new player its going to take months to properly train the skills to use this efficiently. I have about 25M SP already and only get about 260 dps with this fit as opposed to the 400dps hes getting. Not enough skills trained for even me
The basic skills are not multiple months at all. Are you sure you're loading SCOURGE missiles?
I just simulated the fit, and my numbers werent close to yours, and my capacitor wont run it all. Am I doing something wrong? I am new to EVE so be gentle haha
Not doing anything wrong, I just have higher skills. You won't need the numbers you see here to get started, just the ability to fly it. So get that skill queue training, and good luck!
(Oh also, find a corp!!)
How can I know if the site I am is a class 2?
Not site the wormhole has to be class 2
tripwire will tell you on the page. it is also useful for tracking you route in case you arent great at bookmarking
There are numerous ways:
The name of combat sites inside, the colour of the sky, you can search the system name on Google, or you can use Tripwire.

Wondering if duo Gucci Strategic Destroyers could do these sites, haha
T3Cs can solo C3 sites. Drake can run C2s or C3s very slowly.

@@captainbenzie thanks, so I'm waiting
I used to do these sites with a Brutix. You may want to verify it, but I think the Brutix is capable of better DPS. So you will finish the sites faster. But I think the Brutix is a little less tanky. I used to trade out Mag field stabilizers for energized membranes depending on how much dps/tank I wanted. Like I said, verify this for yourself because it was years ago when I was doing this and much may have changed. I started using this ship after losing a T3 and deciding that I wanted to fly a cheaper ship that wouldn't hurt so much to lose.

@@erictyler3259 looking at a Brutix for this currently to showcase. It has higher DPS but significantly lower range, so I reckon it'll work out fairly similar on account of the quick kills being counterbalanced by increased time traveling to get into range. Fit looks solid though, I'll give it a play around and see how it goes!!
There’s a problem with this fit: ur VERY SLOW so if u can’t get a MTU u spend more time looting than fighting
Why would you not have an MTU?
Can’t afford
@@titaniummechsx3324 they're 10m isk a piece, are reusable and quickly regain their cost. If you don't have 10m isk in the bank, I wouldn't be out ratting in a 100m ISK ship.
How do you know that a wh system is C2?
You can:
• Google the name
• Check Tripwire
• Look at the cosmic anomaly names
• Check the wormhole on the way in (Unknown Parts of Space means C1, C2, or C3)
• Check the skybox. All J-Space systems have their own unique skybox.
Best way is Tripwire, and I did a video on using it!!
@@captainbenzie thanks 😁
Sorry to re-ping an older video,but why don't you align to your safe & just cut your speed?
If someone comes in you just hit the plus (or shortcut key) & warp off. You're already pre-aligned.
You can, but it makes a slower run as you have to wait for everything to range you rather than keeping range on them
How are you getting so much DPS I only get 343.7 with Omega acount left to Alpha meaning I have maxxed out skills even my defense is less that that and my C2 has no effects
When you go Alpha, you don't get the benefit of skills you trained as omega. Some of the higher skills are omega locked. The good news is that DPS is sufficient
Why do I feel like there's about to be a lot more Drakes on zkillboard in the hands of newbies diving them into WHs, lol? Are these secretly feeder videos? ;)
Better to learn in a drake than a rattlesnake
Good to see folks having fun and trying things!
That’s the downside to the drake, if your caught you have no tricks to get away from anything. ECM drones maybe but it’s a gamble. Still good to try tho.
@@captainbenzie Yeah, or cannon fodder. Same thing, right? Jesus... They'll lose the ship at the entrance. You should have enough "meat" in your fridge when they do blow up. All the "meat" they can give.
Looks pretty awesome but the Drake is 60 mil to buy!
Considering the sites give 20-25m per site you make that back quickly.
Would have been nice if you told us the skills we have to train to make this work. can you please?
WAAAAAY too long a list to do that for every video. Best thing to do is copy/paste the fit into the game and that'll give you an idea of what you need to fit and fly the ship. From there, add any secondaries you think will help (missile support skills etc)
Song name? :D
how much money you make doing this type of sites?
15-20m every site, which take 15-20 mins to clear
Did some1 mention alrdy that a c2 is usually a gateway to c5 where some big boys are playing?=)
Not true. Whilst there are some C2s that have C5 static connections, they're no more common than any other static connection. On top of this, wandering wormholes are more likely to spawn in +/- 1.
C2s therefore are most likely to get C1, C2, or C3 wandering connections, so if the C2 lacks a C5 static, they're fairly rare to connect to. Lived in one for about six months and we'd get a C5 maybe once or twice a month at most.
@@captainbenzie are we still talking about noobs farming isk?
"Easy to skill into and alpha friendly"
Me looking at the 80 day long skill queue for this fit: man come on bro
Alpha Friendly doesn't mean Day One, and you can drop several of the modules in quality from T2 to lower tech and it works. Either way, 80 days isn't that long to get into a fully functional Battlecruiser. EVE takes time.
@@captainbenzie im an explorer so i havent done too much skilling for combat. I had no idea how much skilling some of these fits took
like it how u say alpha friendly and show t2
Alphas can use some T2 modules and I explain in the video how to modify for the bits you can't use. Don't just skip to the fit and copy it 😉
@@captainbenzie well just thought alphas as a demo user cant use any t2 but ya im guilty skipped a bit but i liked ur c5 videos with marauders😎
Only problem: the drake is like 48m isk
Cheap! You can make that in an hour in a Day One Tristan!
Been through 5 wormholes, just to do relic sites, died all 5 times to players, honestly as a new player its risky and to costly, even in something cheap, new players dont have isk to replace stuff
Firstly, new players shouldn't be solo. Join a corp.
Secondly, I spent months with Signal Cartel after coming back to EVE flying through wormholes and rarely lost a ship. Scout properly, fly smart, be constantly alert.
@@captainbenziedid all of the above, changed nothing as i cant detect clocked ships lol
is it still practible these days? My Drake only gut a DPS of 328 whats the issue what skill do a push to damge or was it nerved by CCP?
The Drake hasn't changed since I made this. Make sure you're using Scourge Missiles as they're the only ones to get the bonus, and train up secondary skills. You don't need the actual numbers shown 😉
@@captainbenzie what secondary skills effect them? by the way i love your content
free drake kills
I mean, assuming they're alone 😉
The Drake was so good they crippled it, if you think it's good now, you missed out. It was monster, a tank that could run LVL 4 missions, low DPS so it took a while, it was favourite for low sec and fleets, until it was too good and too popular.
Yeah, I was there too 😉 it's still a great ship though, it's just not "meta defining" anymore which is GOOD. It's an option, rather than an answer
I was around during the drakes glory days. I loved my cookie cutter drake, felt like it could tank anything with its shield regen lol. Good times
"can i bring my drake"
Yes! Yes you can 😂
Dude, I have this same ftt 245.9 DPS and 79 hp/s shield re-gen .
How TF you have 408DPS? I have most level 5 skills where it counts.
Impants? what gives.
No implants. Make sure you're using Scourge missiles as they're the only ones to get the bonuses.
@@captainbenzie Thanks! I put Caldari Navy Scourge but only 375. I see the bonus now in the show info, I missed that lolol. My CBC skill is level 5 and still short a bit, not sure where to look.
Scourge Fury LOL. okay 424.6
FC can I bring my Drake?
Lmao 🤣
why do i get only 230 dps ...
Could be ammo (make sure it's Scourge) or skills?
@@captainbenzie i have fitted it the same and i believe my skills should be sufficient, could you please help me understand the reason. I suspect skills but what could it be?
You need Kinetic Missiles, Implants to boost all missile dps and your skills need to be 4 all or 5. My dps is 800 dps. 1000 on my tengu. So the skills and implants really Boost tons.
@@vaskonew you know that you can use PYFA and adjust your skills on there to see the different potential DPS/resists etc..?!
Cheap for some, maybe :(
I haven't even gotten my first Minmatar battlecruiser, let alone one from another nation- Currently about 35 mil away from that
It is cheap, you're just at the early point of the game where it takes a bit of time to earn that. Very soon you'll be finding anything under 500m "cheap" 😊
@@captainbenzie how do you begin to make that kinda cash?
@@direct0r for me, wormhole ratting. 42m per site, each site 15 mins. Abyssals can do that too. Gas Huffing can be up to 100m per hour. Exploration in Wormholes can get around that too.
But you build up over time. More lucrative activities require more expensive ships, but you can make 50m an hour in Abyssals on Day One.
maaan 30d training time 😢
Not too bad, especially since a lot of that will be the T2 weapons, you can always fit things like Arbalest instead of T2 launchers.
You didnt told us one thing, you have to train 2-3months of missile bonus skills, im not talking about the basics like heavy missile etc, im talkin about warhead, guided missile prec, missile bombardment etc to have 2000dmg max as an alpha, if you want that 2500dmg you need to be omega and train allllllllot, i like your videos cap but dont forget, not everyone playing this game since bc 100
You don't need to have the skills I have. The ship works at lower skills. I just don't have the capability to set up a new clone for every demonstration 😉
Seriously, a video from 1 month ago showcasing the passive drake like it isn't a 15 year old fit..
You all missed out on the "real" passive drake pre nerf back in the day which could tank pretty much any battleship and smaller fit in the game, forever.
My aim of this video was to showcase that it still works since old content often gets overlooked as outdated. You're saying this like I have no idea what a Drake used to be like, and assuming I haven't been playing since 2012 - whilst ultimately that's the entire reason I made this video 😊
