Looking for a L4 mission Raven fit

I tried expirementing with a couple of fits.

It’s not as impactful as I was hoping for, even tried RHML fit.

Anyone know if there is a current meta raven fit with T2’s and cruise missiles for L4 missions?

Futhermore can someone give me two fits:

The first with T1 cruise missile, since it takes like a month to train into T2 and T2 ammo.

The second is a full T2 build. Budget would be between 250 and 500 mill.

I’m primarily looking for a warp 100km away, and cruise missile large targets down, while any small targets within 30km get droned down. I really prefer both a MJD and afterburner. (I think this is called dual prop)

Some of the fits below don’t have that, and I’m wondering if the Raven is effective without distance between it and it’s targets?

Currently found these builds while searching these forums:

A problem here may be how you define “impactful”.

You mean against small targets, as large missiles can struggle against them? Or just not enough dps in general?

I don’t think you need that much tank except on some situations, use passive hardeners, and add a nanofiber or inertial stab for faster travel.

ok so

Why the raven ?

The main trait of the raven is its range. Fury cruise can go 170km. This gives access to a nice possibility, that is, range tanking : you kill the rats from farther than they can touch you.
however, a few issues with that

  1. too slow . 141 m/s means you get caught by even BS rats.
  2. not enough targeting range.
  3. very small shield buffer. less than hyperion, dominix. However it’s not an issue as you take less damage from range, but it means you need to manage the range.
  4. no application on frigates

the 1. can be fixed by using a MJD. Jump 100km. Then use an AB to keep some range.
the 2. can be fixed by using a sebo, range scripted.
The 4. can be fixed by using small drones/sentries to intercept incoming frigates. warden canshoot far enough to one shot the small frigs while they burn towards you, and acolyte navy can track and kill pesky “webifier drones”. You may also have the use of a heavy stasis grappler to help your drones.

the auto targeting is just to have more targets.
the sig amp is to use navy missiles at their full range.
The em ward field should be replaced by another specific hardener vs other rats than em.

Just trick i learned was to increase missile explosion velocity and decrease explosion radius will increase damage done than adding a 4th or 3rd Ballistic Control System, as the smaller the explosion sphere more damage is focused on the target, it also helps against smaller targets to.

So your explosion radius is smaller that target signature then possible damage is 100%+, if other way around the damage is less.

So even one Missile Guidance Enhancement will provide a better benefit than a 3rd or 4th BCS, and a Missile Guidance Computer with Precision Script is even better, use of a Target Paint has limited benefit with missiles, if using drones attacking same target then TP is worth it, but if drones aren’t on the same target a MGC with scripts are miles better, due to not just thr better focused damage from Precision script, but when needed range increase of missiles with the Range Script.

Just something to think on.

no.

no.

no.

  1. Who uses no prop mod?
  2. The baseline tgt range is 90km without skills.
  3. Use mid slots
  4. Dont know what youre talking about, it can smash frigs with cruises

that’s exactly what I said.

Still propmod is a choice.

and the range of cruise missiles is way more. Also when you mjd you are much further

Which you have infinite number ?

lol.

nvm i just remembered who you are lol
waste of time

@Colez_Noctume Rayven is actually my fitting that I use. What makes it the most expensive is the Large Shield booster. You could modify that whole fit to be either T1 ammo with some T2 mods, and Exchange the Booster for a less expensive, like Large Shield Booster. and I do keep a prop mod for when I fly further out.

But normally, for the few missions that require you to fly out so many km, I fly out to the location as i’m smashing all the ships, switching between precision and fury t2 missiles as necessary. Using Precision takes down cruisers and smaller with ease.
