My heavy missles on my drake go to about 50k+ before they dissappear.
My torpedos on the Raven are only 10-12k before they burn out.
Any advice to inrease the range, I can lock but torpedos cant travel to target.
Can anyone help

There are skills which increase flight speed and flight time, both will result in an increase to range. There are also rigs/implants which achieve the same effect.
Cruise missiles have longer range and can still hurt.

The tl:dr / simple version:
Torps are the cruise missle version of "assault missiles" thereby a short range... Rawr! |

so well what your doing wrong is using close range weapons to hit long range targets :P.
if you use cruise missles you'll get much longer range (150 km easily):).
altough if you can get close to the target and you torps hit , they will hurt , and they will hurt alot , a hell of alot :p. they stole my sig :'( |

Also take around 10% range off for flight time, for missile acceleration and chasing down a moving ship, torp range is really bad vs sniping BS rats which try to keep 40-50+km away from you.

Keep in mind that this is for a Raven with Caldari Battleship 5. The 10% bonus to torp velocity per level has a non-trivial impact.
More commonly you are likely to reach 20 km or so. Also, unless the target is holding still and has a severely bloated sig radius you are only going to be doing marginal damage.
If you are missioning, generally you would be better off with cruise missile and good drone skills, or even flying a Drake.

Torps = Short ranged, high dps Cruise = Long ranged, low dps Use target painter with both.

True about BS V. Kinda depends how you plan to fly it though. Actually there's 2 ships I'm gonna go through skilling up : Cruise CNR, then Torp Golem. I'd add that Raven doesn't get that cute Painter bonus the Golem has, so yeah you'd be probably better off using Cruises on a regular Raven :) ----------
