They are missing passive recharge rigs and modules. Once they get those in the drake might become a good passive shield ship.

After the nerf, using rapids, dps dropped 70 points from 570 to 500 on the cyclone (2 adaptive, large booster, cap battery, mwd). Switching to regular launchers, dps is 640 with same tank oriented low slots. Also, hitting those drakes with a cyclone gets about 2900-3300 damage using regs. Vs the drake damage 5000-5200 per volley with regs. Cyclone does slightly better against smaller ships with the explosion velosity bonus. Drake does massively better vs larger ships with the 50% damage type increases. And with same low slots as cyclone, with 20% more resist, should tank the same for ratting fleets.

I agree, however due to the slower speed of the Drake and its sig, ill be firmly sticking to my Cyclone. Lwts hope they change the Drakes ship abilities 🤞

Just watched this properly for the first time. I've got extensive experience of both boats and possessed both simultaneously for long enough to compare closely. My cop out conclusion ( 😄) is that they're simply meant for different purposes - but that difference is pretty refined and not very definite. I've used both at range. I've used both for brawling. The Drake tanks better at brawling the Cyclone is faster. In the end, my reason for keeping the Drake and selling the 🌀is because the Drake fits in with my idea of how I want to progress in warfare skills. General range is associated with rank and your collective use to your corp/alliance as your abilities mature. As much as brawling is enjoyable, becoming more competent and eventually more competitively superior at operating the larger boats like BC, BS and beyond, is a better asset for an experienced player to provide the team than brawling. The Drake is better training at those skills than the 🌀- whilst not being bad at the up-close-and-personal fun at all! So in the end it was a no brainer decision for me. Obviously, the 🌀 will always be one of my favourite ships though - how could it not be! o7

Looks like CCP ruined Drake and long ranged missile fits overall. Face tanking in Cyclone is much more fun and you're basically getting insta-loot. Given the amount of time you need to spend on mission plus amount of distance you'll travel away from anomaly plus amount of time spent on looting it's gonna be ridiculously slow. As for 1.5mil hard ones - NOS cyclone can do those mostly AFK and the bounty is ~2.5mil. So I'd say it's on par with 2.5mil advanced ones, but you're getting those 1.5mil always, no need to "feel lucky" doing refreshes :)
@reeper48423 жыл бұрын
Agreed, the main problem i have with the hard missions and all these 1.5m rewards is time; it takes way too long to complete a 1.5m.
@kennyutoob3 жыл бұрын
Probably agree. I appear to have unwittingly settled on the same play style with the Cyclone as yourself - maybe more skirmishing than brawling - mostly because it's comfortable. Don't think I'd want to transfer to 'range tanking'; with the Cy, you don't need to and it's already perfectly capable. So yeah, maybe the Drake _is_ superfluous

The cyclone can have 80% resies with zwo Red and one yellow c-type hardener. I think the Drake kann habe much more. With the 80% cyclone i was death in a mission and i was not solo. We need more than this. Thats Not a Bit OP.
