Summary

The Raven is a dedicated missile boat, that can be fitted with either cruise missile launchers or torpedo launchers and has equal bonuses to both. It is a very popular PvE level 4 mission runner, since it can use any missile ammunition equally well, allowing free choice of damage type. Their low speed and less-than-stellar tank make ravens a rarer sight in PvP, though torpedo firing ravens can make a serious dent in enemy battleships... if they can get in range. When fit with cruise missiles ravens have excellent range without needing to sacrifice slots on tracking enhancers or computers. In PvE this is a nice advantage, but in PvP the long travel time of the missile gives the target ample time to align and warp away unless it is held by a tackler, making ravens unpopular pvp snipers.

Skills

• Caldari Battleship to at least IV to take advantage of the DPS and range Buffs that come with every extra level in the skill.
• Cruise Missiles, and Torpedos should be trained to V, and Cruise Missile Specialization/Torpedo Specialization to at least I to fit T2 Launchers, which do more damage and can be substantially cheaper than meta 4 variants, along with providing the ability to use T2 ammo types.
• Missile Launcher Operation, Rapid Launch, Warhead Upgrades, skills which increase DPS and are thus vital to all missile-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.
• Along with the requisite Engineering and Electronics skills required for adequately fitting most ships. Weapon upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V and IV respectively to help alleviate fitting problems.
• Guided Missile Precision, Target Navigation Prediction and Target Painting to at least IV to combat smaller targets and gain access to the T2 Target Painter module.
• Electronic Warfare should be trained to level III to allow training of Long Distance Jamming which increases the optimal range of target painters by 10% per level.
• Missile Projection and Missile Bombardment to at least IV and ideally V to maximize the range at which all missiles travel.
• Drones V, Combat Drone Operation V, Drone Interfacing IV and Gallente Drone Operation I/Minmatar Drone Operation I are all are important for getting as much DPS out of the drone bay as possible.
• Shield Operation and Shield Management should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity and recharge rate. While Tactical Shield Manipulation should be trained to V remove shield penetration chance and to allow the use of the T2 Shield Boost Amplifier module.
• Shield Upgrades should be trained to IV to allow the use of T2 Shield Hardeners, Resistance Amplifiers, Shield Boosters, Shield Power Relays, Shield Extenders and Shield Rechargers.
• EM Shield Compensation, Thermic Shield Compensation, Kinetic Shield Compensation, and Explosive Shield Compensation trained to level IV to further improve shield resistances.
• Finally, Hull Upgrades should be trained to level IV to allow use of the T2 Damage Control module.

NOTES

• This fit is purely based upon a strategy of jump kiting around a room keeping battleships and cruisers at 60-105km. It is a range tank, frigates that approach you will be met by your drones. If you are swarmed align to keep primary targets within firing range and jump. Repeat until room is clear, while jumping keep next gate at apox. 100km and jump to it before room finished to allow 2:30 timer to refresh before entering next room.
• Variations: Swap Adaptive Hardener for mission specific if needed. Drop afterburner for additional harder if needed, this will slow some missions. Replace capacitor rigs with CPU, Power if needed or additional rigors if preferred.
• Weaknesses are time to kill on cruisers and Gurista missions, which require you to focus fire on Jammers and use two Kinetic Hardeners to defend against ranged missiles.
• This Raven requires pilot skill and constant attention, but it is a cheap Level 4 workhorse.

NOTES

• This fitting has missiles and hardeners fitted for Guristas Pirates rats. For different pirates use the hardener types for the damage they do and the missile type that they're weak against.
• Consider making it your goal to purchase more cap-efficent tank modules so that you can start using the Large Warhead Rigor Catalyst I in some of the rig slots. This will give you much better damage against smaller ships, to help out your drones.
• This fit is taken from Battleclinic, which has a long discussion of the pros and cons of various modules.
