The '''Raven''' is an iconic missile boat, the fifth entry in the Caldari line of missile flinging monsters after the [[Kestrel]], [[Corax]], [[Caracal]], and [[Drake]]. It has a rate of fire bonus for all battleship-sized missile launchers and a velocity bonus for cruise missiles and torpedoes, which increases their effective range. This range bonus makes it possible to create cruise missile fits that reach up to 300 km, the maximum lock range of subcapitals.

The Raven is primarily used in PvE combat due to its reliance on missiles for damage dealing. Missiles take time to reach their target, handicapping their use in many PvP roles, and large missiles can struggle to apply damage to medium- and small-sized targets. In PvE, however, the Raven makes a fine ship, especially when fighting at range with cruise missiles
 
−
 
 
−
Pilots coming to the Raven from the Drake might be used to being cap stable all the time. No longer. Leave your afterburner and shield booster ''off'' most of the time. When your shield drops to about 40%-33%, pulse your shield booster to keep your shield in that range. Always keep an eye on your available capacitor charge; if you start to run low, warp out and recharge. Be aware that using your afterburner compromises your cap, and therefore your ability to tank damage.
 
−
 
 
−
Your mission weakness is going to be frigates: killing these with large missiles is ''slow''. Always carry a flight of light scout drones and use these to kill frigates. It is essential to carry light drones as a defense against frigate NPCs which can tackle you and stop you warping out. By holding you down while larger NPCs pile DPS on you, these small enemies present in some ways the greatest danger in Level 4 missions. Keep an eye on your drones' health: if elite frigates or interceptors attack your drones, recall your drones, and then relaunch them.
 
−
 
 
−
When you've got the money, consider buying a Caldari Navy/Guristas X-Large Shield Booster to replace your Meta 4 or T2 booster, and Caldari Navy Ballistic Control Systems to replace your BCS IIs. From there, your money can go into faction missile launchers, or into saving up for one of the natural steps up from a Raven: the [[Raven Navy Issue]] (more DPS), the [[Scorpion Navy Issue]] (much stronger tank), the [[Rattlesnake]] (beastly tank and mixed drone/missile DPS), and the [[Golem]] (an ultra-Raven).

Summary

The Raven is an iconic missile boat, the fifth entry in the Caldari line of missile flinging monsters after the Kestrel, Corax, Caracal, and Drake. It has a rate of fire bonus for all battleship-sized missile launchers and a velocity bonus for cruise missiles and torpedoes, which increases their effective range. This range bonus makes it possible to create cruise missile fits that reach up to 300 km, the maximum lock range of subcapitals.

The Raven is very popular for PvE combat since it can keep range and use any missile ammunition equally well, allowing free choice of damage type to target NPCs' weaknesses. It is also a good stepping stone to the Tech 2 Golem.

The Raven also sees some use in PvP. Cruise missile fits, for example, are popular in larger scale structure defenses.

Skills

Tactics

You can either fit a micro jump drive and cruise missiles and kite, or you can fit a microwarpdrive and torpedoes to brawl.

Notes

The Raven is a rare example of an EVE ship that has a name meaning the same thing as the name of another ship: "corax" also means "raven".
