[Eve Online] Drake Battlecruiser

Description
A re-creation of the infamous Drake battlecruiser from Eve Online.

In years past, the Drake was one of the most spammed ships in New Eden. Its combination of low cost, high tank, and favorable damage application made it a mainstay of alliances. While no longer the absolute powerhouse it once was, this battlecruiser still remains popular amongst newer players.

The Avorion version of the Drake retains the tank of its' scion. Sporting a whopping 16 missile launchers, this ship is sure to Macross-Missile-Spam any target to scrap. 12 PDS cover the ship, and a small hangar under the crew quarters allows for fighter docking. Six torpedo tubes round out the armament.

In contrast to previous builds, armor has been used rather sparingly. This is a consequence of the thin hull form. Vital components have been concentrated in a citadel in the medial sections, with lighter plating around the launcher hardpoints.

With 8000 blocks and taking 70 hours, this has been my fastest build yet. As always, reconfigure internals as necessary.

Original model made by Ymir Jonsson for Eve Online.

Fond memories of this ship. Was the door opener for many a capsuleer into L3 & L4 missions back in the days.
Great work.
