CPT JHawk007 Heavy Metal Task Force 4	Posted - 2012.05.10 17:12:00 - [1] - Quote Hello all, I need help to better understand about missiles maybe im missing something. I dont know but im at my wits end on this and cant figure out how to proceed. Character sheet here: Character sheet Now to the issue Using EFT ive been flying a drake for most of this characters life before jumping into a bs was doing really well with l4s and constant damage though it took a while to complete the missions Drake does with my skills 244 dps which is not alot but for mission boat have to have a tank. Volley is 2200 about now i can constantly wack all ships for around 1200 - 1400 volley on average. except frigs. So i decided to speed up my mission running experience by getting into a bs and use Cruise at the time i used t1 cruise not sure what average volleys i did but it was a long time ago before i used t2 cruise. I tried T2 Fury and T2 precisions for cruise on raven Dps is 599 and volley dmg of 4285 with Fury's for T2 Precisions its 405 DPS and 2901 Volley. Ok these are both really good on EFT but this is not what im seeing in the l4s the DPS is correct but when you actually put it to the test these missiles are mostly doing as much or just doing a little bit better than drake with average volley of 1300 or so. Raven fit for those that are curious. [4x Damage control II] [CPU Co-Processor II] [2x Ballistic Deflection Field II] [2x Heat disipation Field II] [X large shield booster II] [Shield Booster Amplifier II] [6x Cruise Missile Launcher II] [3x Semiconductor Memory Cell I] What i use against Serps and Guristas So i decided recently to do T2 Torpedos which i wanted to use Javs which i knew whould hit further which it does at 32km with raven though i wish it was 37km but stupid -4% to velocity on missile. Raven does with Javs with skills 632 DPS and 4146 volley damage with Rage its 899 DPS and 5896 Volley. Now mind you im doing this against battleships i understand using torps and cruise hitting smaller targets = less damage but when i use these against battleships like serps, angels, sanshas its the same thing average volley on torps is 1700 and they all bounce around like this 465 782 1872 461 3265 and 1971 with torps simular to cruise. The question is how do i eliminate this proplem so it hit near as constant as heavy's using t2 ammo from cruise or torps. It is not funny to see 600 volley damage at 1200 isk a missile Raven Torp fit [3x Damage control II] [CPU Co-Processor II] [Damage control Unit] [2x Ballistic Deflection Field II] [2x Heat disipation Field II] [X large shield booster II] [Shield Booster Amplifier II] [6x Cruise Missile Launcher II] [3x Semiconductor Memory Cell I]

But then again such obvious mistakes and a 2009 char.... it's difficult and I am confused what to believe :) Who solves the mystery whether this is troll or not?

Do you perhaps mean you have 4x Ballistic Control Unit II on your ship? In general, you want to use a raven with 3x missile signature radius rigs (rigor) if you're going to be using fury cruise missiles. There are many factors that mitigate missile damage: target resistance, target speed, and target signature radius. It's been a while since I've used missiles, but I remember torpedoes being terrible against anything with a bit of speed. Unless you're in a golem with the target painter bonus, torpedoes really aren't worth it. With cruise missiles on a raven, stick with T1 or faction ammo. T2 missiles at that size aren't really very good. What kind of numbers are you getting with T1 ammo versus battleship NPCs?

Just ignore these things and use the cookie cutter setup, or go back to the drake and train up to T2 missiles and use an AB to get close to the BS's with defender missiles so they don't have time to use them. I think this is what I used to use, tight on fitting so swap parts as needed. A raven will do missions better, but if your low SP I would recommend staying with the drake and making everything T2 first than work on your Raven skills, sounds wierd but bad skills on a Raven = bad ship, where as the drake is more forgiving.

T2s are suppose to be better than t1s so i worked so hard to get into t2 missiles and still do average volley of near a drake even though the Volleys are 4 to 5ks

This is basically how you should fit a raven. CNR you do the same use faction bcu's painter booster tech 2 rigs also for easier to tank missions you can drop the DCU for signal amplifier to improve lock range and speed and add more targeting slots.
Kietay Ayari Caldari State 437	Posted - 2012.05.13 07:48:00 - [24] - Quote Okay some important things. For any PvE ship you want to fit for maximum damage first then worry about your tank, since all missions are ridiculously easy anyways, do it fast! 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. Ferox #1

Thanks so much for your imput sorry for not get back to you sooner but had some events to go to such as everyone knows as mothers day. I agree Tengus are really good as far as heavy missiles doing really well to all ship sizes. I guess after reading your comment which i agree with completely then the Caldari Bs's are not useless but are not very effective as far as from pvp stand point and pve side. When i first came to the game i was Gallente and found a drake pilot and pvped someone and won thats when i had the love for missiles and decided to become caldari little did i know i would be having this much issue as a caldari pilot just hoping this will get better as you increase skills and getting t2 missiles. The question is am i just kidding myself at this point to continue with Caldari Bs's and up or should i go back and work up my Gallente side as far as i know playing on singularity for while Caldari Bs's Get slaughtered by Gallenge blaster boats such us Vindis, Megas and such. I flew a CNR against megas vindis hyperions and ofcourse other faction bs's it seems caldari Bs's dont cut it in pvp unless your in a blob. Though Tengus are very nice but they are very EXPENSIVE. Its not like I have Billions laying around to fit these kind of ships. It seems to me that the Caldari Bs's such as the raven doesnt havnt enough mid slots and not enough cpu to work with i mean i cant run all t2 on raven unless puting 1 Co processor only reason is that X large shield booster eats so much cpu.

The issue isn't Caldari BS as much as long range missiles not being great in PvP due to travel time. 2. You can effectively buy and fit a Tengu for just as much as the cost of a well-fit CNR. Of course, if you want to **** out your Tengu, it's more. 3. T2/Faction on a regular Raven is overkill. Get a CNR. 4. T2 XLSB no necessary for a Raven or CNR - a faction LSB will be just as, if not more, effective.

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.

A well fitted properly skilled Navy Raven is on par with a Tengu against Kinetic weak (maybe a little better because of drones) and better against other factions, however your mission time can be effected by things like picking up mission items, gate crawling etc that the Tengu has no problems with so overall I'd say they're pretty much equal (with the Tengu being far less skill intensive and thus what people usually choose) They can both be fit for similar cost as well, massive pimp is hugely unnecessary on both ships, people just like pimping.

For nearly half the cost of the CNR (and less than double the standard raven) you will have a BS with enough mids for tank, AB (in case you want them) and TP which will help a lot against mid and small targets. I recommend it if you don't want to wait until you have enough money to buy the CNR and want more speed and tank than you have in the standard raven. Also, the SNI is a sexy ship.

Hans Momaki State War Academy Caldari State 17	Posted - 2012.05.18 12:18:00 - [31] - Quote Tengu is bad for missions, cause you can use it for 2 types of missions only. Those missions are Kinetic-missions, and travel missions. So if you ever decide to leave caldari space, you are fu*ked with your tiny little gank-magnet called the tengu. On top of it, a well fitted CNR with drones is having equal damage and near equal damage application against kinetic-weak enemies with just T1 ammo. This makes running missions in a CNR cheaper.

Your CNR is also slow to align and slow to travel. In null/low sec hubs, you are much safer in a "gank-magnet" tengu. Also, for dual+ boxing, it's much easier to permarun a tengu than a CNR, and is just less micro in general. If you don't mission in Gallente/Caldari space and if you do mission in high sec and if you are single boxing, sure the CNR is a great option. That doesn't mean the tengu is bad.

Can I also recommend that you download the ISK It's not 100% perfect but there's a vast amount of good material in there and it's extremely well presented.

Mavnas The Scope Gallente Federation 28	Posted - 2012.05.22 21:25:00 - [38] - Quote Honestly, your first and main mistake is trying to use a Raven. It's really an upgrade over the drake once you factor in how much harder it is to apply your theoretical DPS and that you have to train all those extra skills. Until you can use the Navy one, there's really not much to be gained there.

Until you can use the Navy one, there's really not much to be gained there. In a way i agree but disagree, Let me start of with the agree part if your a new player and rush off to a Raven it would be pointless to use it in PVE because of the skills required for it to be used properly. In my case i already have the skills for it but the problem i was have was the incosistancy of the damage of either Cruise or Torps i was using So when someone suggested using Rigors my problem Practically disapeared. Now to the Disagreement Raven is a lot better at mission running than the Drake heres why bigger drone bay and twice amount of damage if ur using T2 Granted it takes longer skill wise then the drake but the drake also takes a while to perfect as well i believe if i remember correctly it took me 2 to 3 months to nearly perfect the skills to fly the Drake properly the reason i say near is because Battlecruiser skill is at 4. So in comparison Drake can practically tank any mission while with raven you have to micro manage with a 1min cap which im using a XL shield booster i could however use a faction large booster as someone suggested to lower cap but get near as much as XL booster rep. But the damage output of drake and Raven is way off with my drake with full tank it does 2200 Volley while Raven does 3600 Volley only differences is that Drakes damage is more consistent than Raven with out rigors because of transition from Heavy's to Cruise and Torps.
