With both the phaser cannons and torpedo launchers mounted in a unilateral direction on the superstructure, the Drake's primary firing arc is forward facing, leaving the ship vulnerable against more manoeuvrable or numerous vessels. Should the superstructure be crippled or destroyed, the Drake also loses a significant portion of her firepower. It has also been noted that the inability to mount any kind of armour or hull redundancies could result in the ship being “popped like a cherry”, should shields fail under fire.

Attempts to integrate bio-neural circuitry onto the vessel were met with disastrous results and the ship has recently been downgraded to full isolinear circuitry once again, until a compatibility solution is found.
