A raven is actually a pretty horrible mission ship, just easy to use, but if you want it you want it! And since you do want it you have to know the most important thing is 3x Rigor rigs. Without these you will not be able to hit smaller ships for very much damage at all and you will be even slower than slow. Also do not fit torpedoes onto a Raven. The Golem manages to pull it off but the raven is a little sad turtle with Torpedoes.
Really a Tengu is better for any kind of PvE than a Raven and actually leaves you with useful skills/ships for other areas of the game. No, not only is it better for blitzing it is better for any kind of PvE compared to a Raven, or even a CNR. It's speed combined with its ability to do full damage to ships of all sizes excluding elite frigates is what makes it out DPS a Raven.
Anyways! If you want to use a raven just make sure you have 3-4 BCUs and 3 rigor rigs. After that find out what you need in your mids to survive what ever you want to do and thats it. Skills to let you hit smaller and faster ships are also really important.
Tengus are great, right up to the point where you're shooting rats that have decent Kinetic resist, then their kill speed goes down. A CNR will easily outpace a Tengu in completing missions with lots of BS and missions with EM-weak rats. But the CNR takes more micromanagement, and of course it's far slower for those annoying missions where you have to travel significant distances (I'm looking at you, The Score). But for Sansha Pirate Invasion? Yeah, CNR will do that far more efficiently. So it's not nearly so cut-and-dried as you make it sound.
For both ships, I would recommend a rack of +5% missile hardwirings to get the best out of them. A set of Halos (HG Halos with LG Omega) is a nice complement to the Tengu. The CNR doesn't needs any tanking help, but a Jackal set will reduce irritating NPC ECM jams.
Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
