[@spartan456]

The Drake was my favorite ship for a long time. When I first started playing in 2009, I trained into it so I could actually run L4 missions. It was slow going for sure, but it could do it. Just wanted to chime in with some info on passive shield tanks, as I don't recall hearing you mention this specific point in the video: passive shield tanks peak at 33% shield capacity. Don't freak out if you see a bunch of incoming damage blow through your shields. Once shield HP drops to 33%, this is where the regen will peak. If your shield HP falls below this capacity, your tank is considered "broken" by the incoming DPS and you should consider warping out, or focusing on the highest damage dealer ASAP. The next logical upgrade from the Drake is the Tengu. I was still in high school at the time, and I remember I spent an entire summer break grinding ISK to afford a Tengu. I was technically correct, but I made a lot of mistakes. I had no experience with fitting active-tanked ships, and I figured getting the Tengu to be passive-tanked would be a good option. Needless to say, my Tengu got blown up in the bonus room of Angel Extravaganza, lmao. My entire summer flushed down the toilet. But live and learn I suppose. I did use the Drake for C1 and C2 wormholes, and when I figured out how to make a proper Tengu fit, I eventually used that for tackling C3s and C4s. Back in that era, Mobile Depots didn't exist, and strategic cruisers weren't granted an automatic free slot for a probe launcher. You had to fit a specific subsystem to install one and use it. T3 cruisers are cool because you can swap subsystems and rigs, completely altering the role of the ship. So I would wander around with two fits in my cargo. One specifically for sleeper anomalies, and another which was covert ops and fit for scanning and salvaging. I'd fit for cloak, scope out a wormhole for a bit, bookmark some sites, then leave and come back with the combat fit equipped. Run the sites, leave, refit back to covert ops, and then hoover everything up. I managed to make enough ISK from this to invariably replace my Tengu. I did end up getting caught one day when I was coming back with about 400mil in sleeper loot. That wasn't a very good day, lol, but I had raked in so damn much money from the successful sites that I was able to replace it. I haven't touched j-space content in a little over 10 years, but now that we have mobile depots, and all strategic cruisers can just use a probe launcher all the time, doing this kind of combat exploration is likely far less risky and way more viable with a strategic cruiser. No need to leave and come back a bunch of times when you can just refit right then and there in open space.

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.

[@AwoudeX]

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!

[@captainbenzie]

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.

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.

[@captainbenzie]

Good luck and welcome home!

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.

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.

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

[@benji45645]

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.

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.

@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?

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)

[@captainbenzie]

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)

[@titaniummechsx3324]

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?

[@captainbenzie]

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.

[@donk8961]

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.

Shield regen on is not linear. Most regen is at about 30%. I don't worry unless it quickly approaches 40%.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup

[@keldon_champion]

On a side note about the drake. Against wormhole rats they are omni tanked so use scourge missiles exclusively but if you are using the drake in k-space use appropriate missiles for the target UNLESS you have caldari BC 5 if you have that run scourge missiles against everything. This is true for most caldari missile ships with the kinetic only damage bonus. As for training battlecruisers 5 that should be way down the priority list behind all the appropriate missile skills, fitting skills, and the magic 14 because the benefit is small for the very long train and you would be arguably better off to train cruisers 5 and get into a tengu or an HAC or start training into a gila.

[@captainbenzie]

In this case, I don't think BC5 is below all of the Magic 14, being able to JUST use Scourge is pretty big since you don't have to stock or change ammo and many of the Magic 14 are pretty useless for many players. M14 was designed as a list of "These CAN help anyone" not "Everyone should train all these".

[@keldon_champion]

@@captainbenzie that's a fair argument but at the same time most of the magic 14 (and I agree getting past 4 for a lot of them isn't the most beneficial use of time) are under a week to train BC5 is like a month and I think for a new player that month of training would be better put towards cruisers 5 to get into a HAC or a T3.

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? 😀

[@Rehny-ev9xi]

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?

[@iona4120]

how about exchanging one shield power relay with a damage control II? What do you think about it

[@captainbenzie]

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. 😊

[@Voeluspa45]

Is it still that strong? I am a terrible fighter and have been mining / trading. Looking to do some encounters.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup! Just be aware that my numbers will be higher than most - they do not need to be as high as mine!!

[@endospores]

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.

[@stephenboulet1277]

Do you think it would be worth it to pack some salvager drones?

[@captainbenzie]

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

[@mellogo1d191]

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..

[@EYM-ONLINE]

I am getting problem with fitting - powergrid and cpu is -20. What should I do?

[@captainbenzie]

Train fitting skills like Powergrid Management and CPU Management

[@crazycrentax]

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.

[@MrHaoh2]

It can do C3s with the right skills but it's VERY slow. Better to use something like a Cerberus

[@monkeetr3395]

Soooo... In can definetly bring my drake right?

[@captainbenzie]

[@tv5661]

Is it worth it to use the navy issue one instead of the tech 1 drake?

[@captainbenzie]

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.

[@Lathnes]

Man, I've been sleeping on missiles 😂

[@captainbenzie]

Great system!

[@FrankieMankie]

"If you are stationary you are pre-aligned to everything", bro what xDDDD

[@captainbenzie]

When you are stationary, you have NO velocity arrow, which means you're essentially facing every direction at once. No matter which way you move, the velocity arrow will IMMEDIATELY grow in that direction. The animation of the ship turning does nothing. To demonstrate this, face your ship towards a destination, stop your ship, warp. See how long it takes. Go back, make it so your ship is facing directly away from the destination, stop your ship, warp. It'll take the EXACT same time.

[@MyVendettaa]

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?

Absolutely

[@farkas9410]

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

[@captainbenzie]

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!!)

[@4fit1]

What about an active shield Cyclone?

[@captainbenzie]

Quite probably! One I need to skill into and try?

[@Gruxx42]

I didn't know you could use a referral link even if you've already been playing EVE Online. I've just used it on my existing account to get the 1 million skill points. I thought that only worked on new accounts.

[@ReederMadness]

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.

[@captainbenzie]

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.

[@iOakie]

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

[@captainbenzie]

The basic skills are not multiple months at all. Are you sure you're loading SCOURGE missiles?

[@kylejohns2288]

I was running my own drake fit less damage but like 60k who with 100ish shield regen. I had an archon drop on me got tackled but we couldn’t kill each other so he called his friend

[@lMacca-NZ]

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

[@captainbenzie]

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

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.

[@vasiliykryuchkov7130]

Did some1 mention alrdy that a c2 is usually a gateway to c5 where some big boys are playing?=)

[@captainbenzie]

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.

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!!
