I refuse to believe such a creature exists. ;-)
As far as fleet PvP, Caldari have some great ships that are highly respected by enemy gangs.
If you don't believe me, fly a Scorpion and see how often you are the first person primaried.
Being chosen as the first primary target is the ultimate compliment, and quite a few Caldari ships get that compliment daily.
By that logic, Drakes must be the suxor scrap heaps of the universe, as they are almost always called last.
I find that many assume when they see a Drake in fleet that it is probably fit as a heavy tank > less gank PvE fit (and often this is true). The PvE fit Drake offers little dps compared to other ships higher priority targets. less threat = less priority. So in effect, your sarcasm is true
The problem for the FC is trying to determine if that Drake is set-up for PvP... if so, then it may move up the priority ladder. ___

Nah. Drake is primaried last in battle because even if pvp /gank/ fitted it will deal less dps /and have more buffer/ than other battlecruisers. For example gank cane can have 750dps/55k ehp, harbi 760dps/55k ehp, but drake "only" around 600dps, but with 80-90k buffer. So even if drake is pvp ham fit, its less "threat" than other gank battlecruisers.
Actually, You validated my long explanation. Basically FC's call targets based on the fastest way to eliminate threat. Drakes are "usually" called out toward the last because they offer less threat to the fleet than many other targets.
Your explanation is true and accurate. ___

No not really. You shoot the slightly more ganky but crappy EHP ships first because you can get rid of them almost twice as fast as it would take to kill the drake. This is not a case of drake being less of threat as much as with only marginal dps difference has almost twice as much HP's, and as such would take almost double the time to remove it from the field. Any other questions
Try to look at a problem from different angle. In this specific instance it is actually the fact that drake has superior HP to DPS ratio to all other batlecruisers that make it go down on target priority list. The result is the same but the reason is not.
"...FC's call targets based on the fastest way to eliminate threat."
Isn't that what I said with the bolded and underlined part? _______ Originally by: "Andracin" "you must realize the truth...there is no ship...then you will find that it is not the ship you fly that sucks...it is yourself..."
