Of the meticulous craftsmanship the Caldari are renowned for, the Drake was born. It was found beneath such a ship to rely on anything other than the time-honored combat tradition of missile fire, while the inclusion of sufficient CPU capabilities for decent electronic warfare goes without saying.

Summary
The Drake, well-known for its excellent tanking abilities, is a very popular PvE and PvP ship. In PvE, the Drake can be passively shield-tanked for a stronger tank than a battleship, making L3 missions easy and L4 missions a possibility. However, without very good missile skills L4's will take a long time.
In PvP, the Drake has the ability to field a massive buffer tank. While the Drake can be fit with Heavy Assault Missile Launchers, regular Heavy Missile Launchers are much more common due to the easier fitting and the very short range on HAMs. With Heavy Missile Launchers, the DPS of a Drake is not very impressive for a battlecruiser, but it has a long range for its class.
For Incursions the Drake is not ideal, but can serve as a starting point for trying them out, then to use while training into a more suitable ship. See Caldari ship progression for more information on where to go from here.

NOTES
- It is recommended to fit a T2 shield tank as soon as possible.
- Training missile support skills will increase DPS output.
- Use Meta 4 items if you cannot fit T2. Except for the Launchers as they are too expensive.
- With very good tank and dps skills you may use three Ballistic Control Systems and only one Shield Power Relay.
- Amend the passive shield resistance modules (amplifiers) to the resistance you need for your mission.
- Swap your afterburner for a second Adaptive Invulnerability Field if you encounter problems with your tank.
- You can use Warrior drones against Angels instead of Hobgoblins.
- Thunderbolt Heavy Missiles deal more damage against Sansha and Bloodraiders even if you have Battlecruiser IV.
- Optional in the highslot: Drone Link Augmentor instead of Small Tractor Beam I, but this will require a CPU implant.

NOTES
- It is required to fit a T2 shield tank on battlecruisers or larger according to E-UNI wartime regulations.
- Training missile support skills will increase DPS output.
- Use Meta 4 items if you cannot fit T2 weapons. Meta 4 (Arbalest) HAM Launchers are fairly affordable compared to their Heavy Missile variant.
- However due to the often fatal nature of PvP, T2 weapons are often suggested and strongly recommended, as they give a significant DPS boost.
- T2 HAM Launchers also offer the use of T2 ammo. Rage (Higher DPS, for larger targets) and Javelin (Lower dps, for smaller, faster targets).
- Faction ammo is strongly recommended to gain an advantage on the battlefield.
- Your role as a HAM Drake in an E-UNI fleet is as a super-heavy tackle and as short-range dps. Your shield buffer tank will be much higher than most of your peers, and so your goal is to fit as much DPS as possible, and get right up on the enemy's faces to gain their attention.
