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. In PvP it 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 long range for its class.
