Hey guys. I'm currently looking into buying my first BS and I am biased towards Caldari because i will only be using it for missions. I know that the raven is quite popular these days, but what about the scorpion? Is it a decent mission runner or is it more practical/feasible to use a raven? Your opinions would be appreciated, thx. |

Running missions in a Scorpion is the worst.

Edited by: Trepkos on 17/01/2005 05:32:07 Doing anything besides pvp in a scorp is pretty lackluster.
BTW, nice signature picture istvaan... ------------------ What can I lose? My dignity...every single inch of it.

As the Scorp is ment for use as a gank ship (using webbers, scramblers, jammers to wreak havoc with an opponent while your buddies kill it), it therefore pales to the Raven where combat is concerned. Therefore, I'd go for the Raven....Relatively easy to use, as 1.5 - 2 million skillpoints will do you nicely if you're only going to use it for running missions. I solod easy 0.0 rats (50k cruisers to 500k BSs) with around 1.3 million SP, while I also greatly realize that I need a couple million more to really make her tick. In all, go for the Raven, since destroying rats outright is easier than trying to scramble and jam em. Mount a webber though, lvl 3 and 4 missions have you against inties though.
just my humble opinion and experience

I've done plenty of lvl 4 missions in a scorp, it tanks pretty well. For half the price it's not bad.

Lvl 4 Missions in a Raven is the easiest way to win. I have 350k missileskillpoints and only caldari lvl 3 and i never had problems.
Scorp is a better tanker, but killing tanked BS is a nightmare. I prever divebombing Raven. With 30 torps hitting in short period any BS is down in less then 1 min if not 30 sec.
The most nightmare in Lvl 4 imo are the huge cruiser/frig spawn. But one salvo = one dead cruiser, at least most of them.
Any other ships you will have problems killing the frigs and cruiser fast enough, before they deal to much dmg. _____________________________________ Dead or Alive
