The name of the Drake could have come from the legendary English explorer and pirate, but given the avian theme of the Caldari ships, it is more likely that the ship was named for the official name of a male duck. | The name of the Drake could have come from the legendary English explorer and pirate, but given the avian theme of the Caldari ships, it is more likely that the ship was named for the official name of a male duck. | ||
The quote '''"It has been brought"''' references the long-running joke in the EVE community of '''"Can I bring my Drake?"''' The origins of this joke come from the time when the Drake was almost the only ship used by newer pilots for PvE (it has since been nerfed, but is still popular). So, when these pilots began exploring PvP, the Drake was pretty much the only ship they had and knew how to fly effectively. This led to fleet commanders often being asked: "Can I bring my Drake?" This happened so regularly that many FCs would become very annoyed at being asked this question, and thus players began to use it just to annoy FCs. The ship was eventually nerfed, but the question is still repeated in fleet form-ups (often excessively) purely for its joke value. | |||
