I couldn't give you an exact fit, but a mix of large extenders, hardeners, extender rigs and HAMs would give that effect.

Yup, I've seen a fair few Drakes hold their own in a PvP situation. In my old pirate corp, one of the members even called his "The USS Unpoppable" as it'd stayed in one piece since he bought it. No idea what his fitting was though.

Missile PvP isn't all that bad. I knew a guy who had a pod killmail whoring drake fit that was simply obscene. And I've seen Sabre A(Mjistor Jedann) get many a killmail with a Cerberus.

The trick is to get up close and personal with Heavy Assault Missiles, Torpedos and the like.

There's only really two reasons I want to fly Caldari.

1) For a bit of variety.
2) I feel the need to own a Drake.

So don't worry, I don't intend for it to replace all my current PvP Gallente ships, just compliment them.

Flying Caldari, huh? Good stuff. Since your'e Gallente already, I presume you have drones and hybrids in spades. So, that leaves very little to be honest.

First and foremost, I'd train engineering skills. All the pesky ones that don't matter when you armor tank. Shield Operation(This is for active boosters), Shield Compensation(Also for active boosters), Shield Management(Like others, this gives you more HP total), Tactical Shield Manipulation(IV is generally the maximum required here, as it unlocks all T2 active hardeners) and then Shield Upgrades.

Once that's done, missile skills. For the most part, Caldari missile boats are PvE EZ Mode. Kestrel > Caracal > Drake > Raven is the general order, and sometimes people go from the Raven to a Nighthawk, one of the Command Ships. Rich people who are not like you and I get Golems with their massive damage. So, what to train for missile skills? IMO, the four most important skills are Missile Launcher Op(Required @ V for Cruise Missiles and Torpedoes), Guided Missile Precision, Target Navigation Prediction(these two allow you to hit smaller targets more reliably; I can blow up cruisers with cruise missiles) and Warhead Upgrades(10% bigger boom per level.)

Oh, and I just voted for Caldari btw

I like Gallente. But I also like being jack-of-trades, so that means I like Caldari as well.

Once I’m in the first week of March, I can hop into a shiny Nighthawk and go pew pew because black and red is sexy!
