Summary
The Raven is an iconic missile boat. 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
- Caldari Battleship to IV to take advantage of the dps and range bonuses.
- Cruise missiles, Torpedoes, and Heavy Missiles to V and the associated specialization skills to III to take advantage of tech 2 launchers and the dps bonus.
- All of the skills for a full tech 2 shield tank.
- Perfect or near-perfect missile support skills.
- Perfect drone skills to squeeze as much damage out of your small drone bay.
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".
