The *Official* Eve Online Thread

o0f been reading this thread loytering a while and its made me create another eve account after many moons of not playing!

*waves good bye to the real world*
 
Woooo got ganked by 4 drakes in my Harbinger earlier. lol.
Hate Drakes so much, would love to beat them around the head with a nerf stick!
 
They had 2 ships off me :( brutix in the first engagement then a domi later by accident, tanked them for about 3 mins tho before ran out of cap.
 
Seem good ships for using with logistic support, nice versatile slot options.

We got dropped by 4 drakes with a basilisk supporting when we were only expecting 2 drakes :S
 
I hate drakes, with a passion. Hated them before I lost a harby to 4 of them too!

Can anyone recommend anything that works as a decent counter to a Drake?
 
With the bonuses they are almost deff. gonna be running heavy kinetic damage, so run a couple of hardeners on that, ideally you want something small, fast and doing lots of EM/thermal damage. Iskhur with amarr drones maybe (tho might be too light on the damage to overload tank). (Or Ishtar but thats more expensive but prolly needed for the damage output).

It wont have enough DPS to take down a drake without help.

Theres nothing special about drake, generally they have low DPS and have quite tight fittings. Hurricane's, Harbringer's and Brutix's are considered better in every way but being a damage sponge.

If a drake is setup for HAM's then anything with a good buffer will outlast it. If a drake is setup for tank, if you cant break it just run away.

If 4 drakes gank your solo BC you will die regardless that's just eve.

My brutix was ripping through their shield tank - but obviously couldn't tank 4 of them on a buffer :S

With kin hardeners a domi could probably tank 4 of them for aslong as its cap lasted (I was only taking about ~592dps off them)... tho doubt it could put out the damage to beat them.
 
Most of the drakes I see these days running around lowsec are running web scram and Ham missile fits with mwds and power diags nanos in the lows.


Gives the a decent buffer with good tackle n good speed and trust me they really do if your a good pilot destroy the **** out of dramiels/cynabals anything that tries to speed buffer tank.


Other then that I love flying My Cane or My cynabal fun ships.

I use to be a heavy sleipnir user i have like 300 or 400 kills in that ship total use to love roaming in that.

Mass testing event... IIRC there was 430 in local before "GO" and the other team (waiting in the next system) was supposedly 50% bigger than ours.

Getting a bit fedup of the game now tho - twice ran into def. character bugs that are fixed by training the appropriate skills (which seems to overwrite the corrupt data) and not having caught onto the rather obscure (as a new player) dependancy on training learning skills early on I'm now in a position where I can either spend forever training stuff, a couple of months opptimizing my learning skills or probably just as quick/quicker to start a new character but I don't wanna have to spend a couple of months or so getting back to where I am :S

Other things annoying me is like finding out today that a L1/2 shield tank on my myrmidon is over 50% better dps, twice the EHP and 300% longer lasting cap and 40% quicker to align than my L5 active armor tank, despite gal being armor tankers and the myrm having armor rep bonuses... crazy, not to mention the silly cutting of drone bandwidth on it.

But we didn't get to test it, we'll just have to shoot your myrm up tonight.
