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.

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.

Tactics

The Raven is primarily used in PVE, specifically mission running, due to its reliance on missiles for damage dealing. Missiles take time to reach their target, invalidating or handicapping their use in certain other roles.

If you've come to the Raven via the Drake, you're 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 AB compromises your cap, and therefore your ability to tank damage.

Your mission weakness is going to be frigates; killing these with cruise missiles is slow. Always carry a flight of light scout drones and use these to kill frigates. If you're facing elite frigates or interceptors that attack your drones, recall your drones, ignore the frigates, and only kill them last if you have to.

When you've got the money, consider buying a Caldari Navy 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 Caldari Navy CMLs or into a

. Note that the Caldari Navy CMLs have a much higher CPU requirement than the Arbalests, so check your fitting in EFT with your skills to see if you can run them.
