L4 Raven options

On a CRUISE Raven for low end PVE you ■■■■ head.

Shouldn’t you idiots both be using typhoons?

Typhoon Fleet Issue is USIA’s top choice :muscle: . Typhoon is also a recommended hull. :+1:

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras brings great shame to USIA… he even goes so far as to embarrass us on the forums… this will not bode well for his upcoming performance evaluation… :chart_with_downwards_trend: :skull: :coffin: . I hate you, Daquan Geo. *contempt*

Hoiw do you create these charts?

So what ended up being the best fit for running level 4 missions in a Raven?

Its down to skills and playstyle no one will be able to say X fit is the best only X fit is good.

Let’s say with maxed out related skills wanting to blitz them? Missiles for the battleships/battlecruisers and drones for smaller ships + MJD out and snipe?

I just upgraded from Raven to Raven Navy and using the fit on our USIA website for blitzing… works like a charm.

I went with this in the end, which seemed fine against Gurista which was my main rats, but now ive moved to Gallente space and it does seem to be lacking tank. (even with appropriate shield chnages)

Why waste slot for DC? And why waste mids for passive tank? Put in active tank. You will have enough room to put at least target painter for better application. Also, your DPS is your tank. With proper target priority you probably don’t need to use MJD ever. And to be honest. MWD will allow you to extend range with just 1-2 cycle’s while removing needs to slowboat for each gate.

I am revisiting this post as I am using my Raven for the Amarr Epic arc and even with an alt, also in a Raven sometimes the incoming DPS is real high and I have to warp out.

To answer the last post (although that was about Level 4 missions in general rather than Epic Arcs) @Lis_Torin I have a DC just as an insurance policy, espeically in this Epic Arc where damage seems much higher. What else would I put in there? Also the MJD as helped me a couple of times GTFO when scrammed by frigates.

asode from that, there are two fits that I have looked at.

On (Virtual) paper fit 2 seems to be the one to go for, i guess my only concern would be that as a buffer, I would still maybe need to warp out of the incoming DPS is high so would the extra 16k be enough.

Or does anyone have another Raven fit specific to the Amarr Epic Arc. I know there is one mission wher I need to tank for Kinetic, but I can have those modules and missiles with me to swap out.

Just in case anyone is wondering I will leave these BS in the starting system of the epic arc and revisit them every 3 months, so this BS only has to do well in this specific arc.
