    • Swap out the 4th BCS for a DC2 (or alternatively a PDS2)
    • Upgrade Purger rigs to tech2
    • Possibly change drones to Caldari or Amarr, for better damage application

    This is the best I could find. There doesn't appear to be much PvP with this ship, in spite of the changes a few months ago...

My only opinion on the PvE fit is that you should use a Gila.

On the PvP fit, I took a look at the zKill loss filter, looking for people who I expect to be reasonably competent. I noticed a few fits from folks in Minions, Tuskers, and Clown Car, all of whom are quite decent, along with a shameful loss from my alliance. :joy:

Each of these fits uses a skirmish burst, with either speed or interdiction charges, at least one nano, and a point/web or point/dual web tackle setup. (This tackle setup allows you to keep people from warping away in the 20-25km range and is common for other kitey BCs, such as the rail Brutix/Navy Brutix or especially the Navy Harby with its 5 mids. Notably, point + double web tackles MWD ships trying to ram you almost as hard as scram + web, while leaving their MWD on to keep their sig nice and big.)

Gagatek, from Call of the Wild/Minions, and Yue, from Clown Car, both use HMLs. It looks like Yue is using the HMLs to match engagement range with the other members of a small gang while he provides low-key skirmish links; this is a good use case for HMLs, but in most cases solo or small gang Navy Drakes will probably do better with HAMs.

I'd personally like to try a 100mn Navy Drake out; if I ever have a bunch of spare ISK, a good place to solo roam, and time and a functioning computer, I'll probably get three or four of them and see what I can pull off.

So does that mean that you think the proposed PvP fit should be changed, or not included at all on the wiki?

Also, are you recommending one (or more) of the fits you linked to be included for the wiki?

The proposed fit has a T1 command burst for fitting, which is strange because you should instead go T2 and swap one of the CN extenders for a RF extender. I also would reconsider a fit that requires that much bling (fit is twice the cost of the hull) and can't engage outside scram range, because that means you are committing to getting blobbed. Instead, if you want a basic, accessible HAM brawl fit, you should go with this:

Gagatek's MWD + MJD HML fit is probably good for something more skirmishy at a reasonable price. Rhythmic's is a Genos fit so it's very niche, and the small gang links fit Yue uses is interesting but probably niche as well.

I've published Solo fit.

Also I'm in favor posting the PvE fit. Yes, Gila would mostlikely do better, but it's hull is twice more expensive now (300M vs 150M for DNI). Plus some people could have Caldari BC trained vs Caldary and Gallente Cruisers... And HAM vs RLM, also as a base for comparison I believe it worth having the fit published.

Though, instead of HM, I'd post HAM, replace 4th BCU with MGE. And maybe use Guidance Computer instead of a target painter: it will help with range or application depending on needs.

This should do well for L3 missions. I think that Active Shield fit would do better in terms of tank though.

You can make it into a PODLA Drake by dropping the MJD or invuln for a second web , but the rest stays pretty much the same. Can also cheapen out on the LSE or web, but I'd recommend keeping at least a CN/DG web. This thing really shines in combination with another Drake (or any BC for the matter) where you can run both double skirmish links and web stuff out to 23km for perfect application.
