Introduced with the Odyssey expansion, the Drake Navy Issue (aka the DNI) is a new version of the hugely popular Drake battlecruiser. It loses the Drake's resistance bonus ''and'' kinetic damage bonus in favor of more shield, two more launcher slots, and bonuses to missile velocity and explosion radius. The resistance swap for shield size slightly favors the DNI and improves with skills, but what really changes is the way the DNI engages targets. It gains a huge range boost, targeting and hitting targets past 70km out with lvl 4 skills. It does approximately the same amount of damage as the vanilla Drake, but now uses a variety of mission-specific missiles (instead of purely Scourges) and deals with frigates much better. It's also faster and more agile due to weight loss.

After the resounding success tied to the launch of the Drake-class Battlecruiser, the Caldari Navy signed up a massive order to acquire a specific version for its own arsenals. The outcome, the Drake Navy Issue, while sharing a similar look with its step-father, serves a completely different purpose on the battlefield. Being more mobile, able to project missiles more effectively at range, against smaller targets and on a wider selection of damage types, this ship is ideal to support small scale conflicts and raids.

Summary

Introduced with the Odyssey expansion, the Drake Navy Issue (aka the DNI) is a new version of the hugely popular Drake battlecruiser. It loses the Drake's resistance bonus and kinetic damage bonus in favor of more shield, two more launcher slots, and bonuses to missile velocity and explosion radius. The resistance swap for shield size slightly favors the DNI and improves with skills, but what really changes is the way the DNI engages targets. It gains a huge range boost, targeting and hitting targets past 70km out with lvl 4 skills. It does approximately the same amount of damage as the vanilla Drake, but now uses a variety of mission-specific missiles (which gives it equivalent dps to all rats, not just kinetic-vulnerable ones) and deals with frigates much better. It's also faster and more agile due to weight loss.

However, you lose the high utility slot and your wrecks are going to be more spread out (because you engaged them further away), so a new DNI owner will probably stop self-looting their L3 missions in favor of completing them faster.
