This is my usual level 4 solo Drake setup.  Shield resists change depending on damage type.  If there are all four types (and not real heavy on one) I lose a resist and add another extender.  Setup has a 50 - 60 HP/s recharge with the passive tank and the BCS2/Bay Loader help with DPS I'm putting out.  Still takes a while for some BS's but its nice being able to do 4's in a BC solo.  :)   Gotta bring lots of heavies though.  Oh and high shield skills are a must for the passive tank.

Depending on how many BS there are I lose a XR-3200 and put in a salvager, otherwise I come back afterward.  

Edited: Switched to Heavy Launcher II's now that I can use them.  :)

Edited: Switched to T2 ammo and T2 drones.

Interesting, the passive resistance modules get your shield resists up to what a couple of invulnerability fields would?

[kangster]

core defense purger every time?  Not extender rig?

[big5824]

thats a nice setup there, very similar to what i use for pvp, except i have 3 active hardeners and 3 large extenders, with 4 T2 power relays, it gets a max recharge rate of 241 shields a second which is enough to permatank two battleships (maybes more)

[Jonas Vinthyn]

Well with the passive resists as high as they are (usually over 80% for my two "main" resists) I can tank 8 - 10 BS without a problem.  Especially now with Shield Power Relay 2's in the lows.  I should update the loadout.....

[evilkillers]

I have to say great setup ran it with tech 1 and tech 2 versions and worked very well with both. also with and with out the rigs. with them this thing was a rock star... 

[MonkeYRev]

Not bad, howver if u want to kill bs faster need those T2 drones, and drone interfacing also, i would take out 2 amps for a LSE and an invul, that way u keep 2 for rat specific and invul to up them more.

im not sure about the BCU imo, i would take it out for a SPR for more tank and 3 purger rigs, should be hitting 200hp/s, also with the resis above 75% you would be tanking close too 1000 dps

Faction missiles will increase the dps, plus with drones u should hit 300 dps. 

[Jonas Vinthyn]

I've used the same setup with 4 SPR2's and 3 purgers and it does tank awesome but the DPS is lacking.  Inv Field 2 is always a possibility....what I use on my NightHawk with a similar setup but as it stands this setup will get you though just fine.

Throw in t2 short range ammo to really do some damage....its what I fly for my PvP Drake.  300+ dps per launcher while still having a good tank is quite nice.

Your loadout just blew my mind, now I know what I want...

(btw: nice name)

I built and flew this 4 Passive Tank Drake last night. The battlecruiser showed to be stronger than I expected. Mission was completed with only about 30% shield damage after takin out over 20 pirate ships... GREAT STUFF !

Now, what about jamming from Guristas in Level 4 ??

[Jonas Vinthyn]

Now, what about jamming from Guristas in Level 4 ?

Well I'm really lazy (another reason I like passive tanks) so I usually just put up with the jamming and took forever to finish the mission.    But if your impatient drop a extender and put on a grav sensor backup.  Better to have the resists then the extra cushion (usually).

Sensor strength makes no difference with jamming as all NPC's use a chance based resists.. you could have 1 sensor strength or 100 and a small frig will ALWAYS jam you if they hit their chance to do so.

In the end, no point in adding anything to sensor strength unless it is for player use.

thanks for the info from all helps alot

[Cypress Cavalero]

stop it now.
this is like the most common ship setup in game.
just stop posting it.
you didnt make the passive recharge  idea FACT.
WHy the hell would you want to use a drake on lvl4s. Whats the point?
why would you want to do less damage than a raven, take longer have crap damage and no fun.  sorry to get on a rant but every day someone posts this loadout.
2 for a constructive point, buy a raven and fit ur salvo to a dedicated ship.

[Jonas Vinthyn]

(snip everything I was going to say) wow....you just don't get it.  Thanks for crapping in this tread.  And thanks to all those that like the fit and are flying it without having to waste 3x the isk on a battleship to do the same missions.
