*You can start missioning with III, but upgrade '''[[Skills:Spaceship Command#Caldari Battlecruiser|Caldari Battlecruiser]]''' to at least IV to take advantage of the Drake's ~~massive~~ DPS and Shield Resistance ~~Buffs~~ that come with every extra level in the skill.

*You can start missioning with III, but upgrade '''[[Skills:Spaceship Command#Caldari Battlecruiser|Caldari Battlecruiser]]''' to at least IV to take advantage of the Drake's DPS and Shield Resistance buffs that come with every extra level in the skill.

*Missile launcher skills depend on your use for the Drake. L3 mission fits use '''[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Missiles|Heavy Missiles]]'''; train to IV and use XR-3200 (Meta 3), Arbalest (Meta 4), or Caldari Navy HMLs. Drakes are widely used in factional PvP, and '''[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Assault Missiles|Heavy Assault Missiles]]''' can be trained for that to IV minimum. T2 launchers and the accompanying T2 ammo requires '''[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Missiles|Heavy Missiles]]/[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Assault Missiles|Heavy Assault Missiles]]''' V and '''[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Missile Specialization|Heavy Missile Specialization]]/[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Assault Missile Specialization|Heavy Assault Missile Specialization]]''' to at least I; this is a 10-day-ish train that isn't worth it if your intent is only to get to L4 missions. However, it ''can'' be worth it: you'll get to use T2 HMLs on your [[Tengu]] down the road, and if you're grinding reputation, there are a lot more L3 missions in your future.

*~~Start missioning~~ at III, and upgrade ~~your missile skills~~ to IV ASAP: '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Launcher Operation|Missile Launcher Operation]], [[Skills:Missiles#Rapid Launch|Rapid Launch]], [[Skills:Missiles#Warhead Upgrades|Warhead Upgrades]], [[Skills:Missiles#Missile Projection|Missile Projection]], [[Skills:Missiles#Target Navigation Prediction|Target Navigation Prediction]],''' and '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Bombardment|Missile Bombardment]]. [[Skills:Missiles#Guided Missile Precision|Guided Missile Precision]]''' is another missile skill, but has '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Launcher Operation|Missile Launcher Operation]]''' V as a prerequisite. You'll need both eventually.

*Train your missile skills to at least III and upgrade to IV ASAP: '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Launcher Operation|Missile Launcher Operation]], [[Skills:Missiles#Rapid Launch|Rapid Launch]], [[Skills:Missiles#Warhead Upgrades|Warhead Upgrades]], [[Skills:Missiles#Missile Projection|Missile Projection]], [[Skills:Missiles#Target Navigation Prediction|Target Navigation Prediction]],''' and '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Bombardment|Missile Bombardment]]. [[Skills:Missiles#Guided Missile Precision|Guided Missile Precision]]''' is another missile skill, but has '''[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Launcher Operation|Missile Launcher Operation]]''' V as a prerequisite. You'll need both eventually.

*Along with the requisite '''[[Skills:Engineering#Engineering|Engineering]]''' and '''[[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics]]''' skills required for adequately fitting most ships, train '''[[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades|Weapon upgrades]]''' to IV to help alleviate fitting problems. '''[[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades|Weapon upgrades]]''' V and '''[[Skills:Engineering#Advanced Weapon Upgrades|Advanced Weapon Upgrades]]''' ~~may~~ be needed to fit ~~your choice of battleship after the Drake~~.

*Along with the requisite '''[[Skills:Engineering#Engineering|Engineering]]''' and '''[[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics]]''' skills required for adequately fitting most ships, train '''[[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades|Weapon upgrades]]''' to IV to help alleviate fitting problems. '''[[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades|Weapon upgrades]]''' V and '''[[Skills:Engineering#Advanced Weapon Upgrades|Advanced Weapon Upgrades]]''' will be needed eventually as you seek to fit more ships.

*'''[[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones]]''' V, and '''[[Skills:Drones#Light Drone Operation|Combat Drone Operation]], [[Skills:Drones#Drone Interfacing|Drone Interfacing]], [[Skills:Drones#Drone Avionics|Drone Avionics]], [[Skills:Drones#Drone Navigation|Drone Navigation]], [[Skills:Drones#Drone Durability|Drone Durability]], and [[Skills:Drones#Drone Sharpshooting|Drone Sharpshooting]]''' at III is the starting point.

*Due to the Drake's inherent bonus to shield resistances, '''[[Skills:Shields#Shield Operation|Shield Operation]], [[Skills:Shields#Shield Management|Shield Management]]''', and '''[[Skills:Shields#Tactical_Shield_Manipulation|Tactical Shield Manipulation]]''' should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity, recharge rate and impenetrability.
