if you are new and have low skills go for the navy scorpion first. it has less damage but better tank, so it is harder to lose. after you get your skills up and get some experience with the missions, you can switch to the navy raven. |

When you're comfortable you'll want more dps, then get a CNR and use the classic 3xRigors + Cap Booster + 4xBCUs setup. How much improvement comes from the 4th BCU? Is it REALLY worth to put a 4th BCU??
the fourth BCU should get you about 8% extra DPS. if you have *enough* tank, then every little extra DPS is worth it. if you struggle, then you can skip it. here is a solid build that should get you through any lvl4 if you play right:

the gist shield booster is not necessary. you can use T2 if you don't have the money. you can also use 'Arbalest' launchers instead of the T2 ones, but i would strongly advise to get T2 light drones |

ayame is right. while the navy raven will shine with really good skills, the navy scorp has all the advantages a new player would want:
- rigor and flare rigs make your missiles do good damage to cruisers even without the best skills or implants.
- an afterburner is very convenient and the scorp can fit one without hurting its tank too much.
- 100mil price difference is nothing to sneer at when you are new, especially when losing your ship is still a possibility. |

i'm too lazy to check the numbers right now but i'd guess that to get a strong enough passive tank, you would have to use all rig slots and one or more low slots. this would hurt your already mediocre damage output even more.
when running missions, the general rule is to use just enough slots for tank and put the rest into more damage. |

the difference is that the drake has a decent base shield recharge rate. almost all battleships have horrible recharge rates so you need a lot of modules to get the hp/s to a decent value. |

from what i emember, angels do not do so much damage at range. if you can manage to kill the webbing frigates fast enough and then burn away and orbit at 50km, you should be perfectly fine. |
