Summary

The Raven is an iconic missile boat. It has a rate of fire bonus for all battleship sized missile launcher and a range bonus for cruise missiles and torpedoes. This range bonus makes it possible to create cruise missile fits which reach up to 300 km which is the maximum lock range of subcapitals. Less extreme cruise missile fits are popular in larger scale structure defenses.

The Raven is very popular for PvE combat, since it can use any missile ammunition equally well, allowing free choice of damage type to target NPCs' weaknesses. This is especially in missions useful. It is also a good stepping stone to the Golem.

Skills

Tactics

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).

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".
