Hey peeps,
I was wondering who could suggest a decent setup for my Raven doing Level 4 Agent missions. A few people I know have lost their ships doing these missions. 
My Current setup is as follows... (dont laugh !) 
High Slots
- 6 x Siege Launchers with Torps
Mid Slots
- 3 Shield Hardeners (50% damage reduction etc)
- 1 x Large Shield Recharger
- 1 x Shield Recharger (boosts shield recharge by 12%)
Low Slots
- 2 x Warp Core Stabalizers
- 1 x Power Plant Manager (boosts all round power etc.)
- 1 x Damage mod for launchers and increase R.O.F
- 1 x Cap Recharger (I Think)
Any suggestions to even a new setup if applicable would be great. Oh and if you ask why I am doing agent missions in a Raven...well... 
- I like missiles, the explosions are big
- The Raven is one serious bit of kit
- Missile cost doesnt matter..Worth every penny
Many thanks and look forward to reading some setup suggestions. This will only be for agent missions by the way and not PvP.
Cheers
GKido 
p.s Happy Crimbo !

Here is a setup that has worked for me on a few lvl 4 missions.
High slots:
6 siege missile launchers.
2 tech II ion blasters (these are not really needed as the siege launchers do 99% of the work)
Mid slots:
X-large shield booster
3 hardeners depending on what kind of damage the npcs use (make sure they are 50% and active hardeners)
1 shield amplifier
1 cap recharger or 1 100mn AB if you like collecting the loot cans a bit faster.
Low slots:
5 PDU II.
This setup is a bit depending on your skills but it can be very effective and lets you tank most of the level 4 spawns in my experience.
Remember to shoot down frigates first so you don't get warp scrambled.
You can always warp out once the frigates are down to recharge your capacitator and shield then warp back in. Oh and try to be aligned and in speed towards an object so you can instantly warp out when you have to.
Good luck with your raven Gkido I hope you find a setup that works perfectly for you.

listen its suicide doing lvl4 missions in a raven especially those deadspaces ones
but if you were to attempt to do them here your setup
high : 6 siege 2 heavey nos or guns or smartbombs -what ever your best skills are
med: 4 hardeners 1 xl sheild booster and 1 cap recharger
low: cap relays nothing but em :)
but it wont matter because you'v probably allready lost your raven by this time :)

1 x Large Smart Bomb <- be careful so you dont pop your own torps
1 x Large Shield Recharger <- med slot, you mean shield booster right?
1 x Shield Recharger (boosts shield recharge by 12%) <- med slot, swap for a shield boost amplifier to get more out of your shield booster
1 x Power Plant Manager (boosts all round power etc.) <- low slot, this is probably a named basic power diagnostic, it is WORSE than Power diagnostic I, which is very cheap and on the market easy to find.
1 x Cap Recharger (I Think) <- low slot, you mean cap-relay? They make your shield booster boost less..add another ballistic perhaps

Oh no is not, i know of plenty people who solo lvl 4 in Ravens with ease, some just takes a little time.
edit; btw 5 cap-relays? How much less effective does that make your XL booster?

well how are you supposed to manage cap whilst supporting your needs ? and giving damage just think about it
your in a raven and yuo warp in to a bm 7 cruiser 4 frigs to bs to kill right?
you shield tank them and start picking them off one by one the 3rd frigs is down
your out of cap cruisers and bs have just got into range and they are eating away at your armour
you need to be in an armour tanking ship if anything because you wont have to worry about your cap or shield being taken down

A setup from a friend which he has found very effective for L4 missions - he solos most L4 missions in it no bother at all:
Highs: 6xseige with torps, 2x(can't remember, ?med lasers for the tracking/med blasters)
Mids: 1xshield amp. 1xXL booster, named if possible. 2xhardeners (select type for rats). 1xcap recharger (i think he's better off going for another hardener, but his choice). Most importantly - 1 heavy cap booster with 800 charges.
Lows: Whatever needs to fit this - i think he has 4xPDUs, 1xballistic mod but I may be wrong.
Several people have said that you can't shield tank enough with a raven as your cap dies. heavy cap booster is an essential item for tanking a raven... fit one and you can tank most things.
GKido, ask me in-game if you want confirmation of the setup, I've got it on eve-mail somewhere.

Ive had only minor trouble of level 4 missions with a Raven and even killed the parasite drone with the following setup.
5 Siege Launchers 1 Cruise Launcher 2 Heavy Nos
4 Shield Harners (researched to match mission) 1 Large Shield Booster 2, 1 Sensor Booster 2
3 Power Diagnostic 1 and 2 Ballistic Controls
Occasionaly i swap out the 1 Nos and the Cruise for a Large Smartbomb and a Siege.
Recent mission with 4 Navy Armageddons and 5 Navy Mallers required a warp out to complete but wasnt a deadspace one.

Thats why its suicide for you, that booster isnt doing **** for the amount of cap its draining.
Been solo'ing lvl 4's with a Raven flying alt with 2.5 mil skill points using:
6 x siege with torps
1 x Nos
1 x 150 mm rail gun
3 x Hardners
1 x Large Shield Booster II (or C5-L)
1 x Shield Boost Amp
1 x Cap Recharger II
4 x PDU II
1 x WCS
So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

One Ab (or mwd) t2 to keep the distance and 1 sensor booster to be able lock over 110-120km, and let the torpedos/cruises do the job for you.
