*Missile 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.

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. | *Missile skills depend on your use for the Drake.
