so i'm just about to get into a torp raven for missions in angel space using a fairly basic t2 fit with a few faction mods for fitting or lacking of skills
2xBCUII
1XCN BCU
2xPDU
X-L Shield boosterII
CN shield boost amp
TP2
then 2 explosive hardeners
1 kinetic hardener
then 6 arbalest siege launchers
Now questions do i NEED T2 torps for missions or will t1 torps be fine?
now im thinking about using 2 large CCC and large rocket fuel cache (increase flight time)
and using a torp Damage implant
flight time implant and a decrease factor of targets velocity for all missiles, now does this include torps?
now with my current skills and implants according to EFT i can reach out 27.7km, so effective is 25km. is this close enough for angel missions?

1. T2 are must for mission.( you 3x webed and no javlin torps to kill things)
2. or use AB until you get T2
But rather use cruse for now.
Just my opinion o/

2x missile velocity rigs
1x flight time rig
velocity implant
explosion velocity implant (affects all missiles)
T2 is essential, range is everything. If you can't use all missile rigs, use velocity over flight time. If you can only use 2, use one of each to avoid diminishing returns.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

No, it's not close enough.
A raven actually lacks a lot of things like cpu and med slots in order to be a good enough torp mission runner.

wow thanks for the fast replies, so seems like just get cruise 4 then go straight to torp spec at least lv2/3 for torps to become useful at all, and can i get away with only 1 TP even if i use cruise.
SO switch to cruise missiles for now and i have a pretty standard cookie cutter cruise raven?
yes ive heard the raven lacks a lot of grid/cpu for torps to work but i was hoping angel space with the naturally high resistance to explosive will help tanking quite a bit and then coming in so close will help with any range issues.
thanks for the help so i'll stick with cruise for now

Using a torp raven with anything but t2, almost max skills for total range and 1 or 2 range/velocity rigs is an excercise in frustation..
With all 5's in the appropriate skills and 1 velocity and 1 flight time rig you'll skill get about an effective 36km with regular torps or 56km with Javelin torps. (which of course slows down your top speed when they are loaded.)

Eh, it's not total fail. The reason for T2 launchers is to use Javelins on the rats that orbit at over 40km. There are missions where you don't need javelins. If the OP is focusing on Angel missions, then T1/faction launchers might work out. If the OP upgrades to a CNR, which can carry three sentry drones, then it might be possible to also handle Guristas missions and let the sentries handle the few battleships that orbit at 50km.

This is *NOT* true. There are a *great* number of missions that you can run T1 siege launchers in.... in fact, I very rarely load Javs. Most of the time, if the mission requires Javs, you're better off in a cruise Raven anyway, IME.
My answer is to have 2 mission ships (right now, a torp Golem and a cruise Raven).

I have a T1 torp raven for ratting and it works nice with high skills and rigs (about 40k range). However since i need to fit 2 TPs for torps to do the awesome damage i don't see a normal Raven being able to tank a Mission properly. Essentially i think you either have to gimp the torp damage/range to fit a proper tank (in which case you probably are better of with cruises anyways) or you have nice damage but not enough tank/cap.
