The Raven is a destroyer?
Those were my two questions.

My theory? Miscommunication at CCP HQ.
The Latin term for the Common Raven is Corvus Corax.
The new Caldari Destroyer is the Corax.
Someone probably told the art department: "Have a pic of that raven destroyer shooting down on the planet" and they ran with it.
(Ignore the fact that the Corax is a missile boat.)

Or easiest to identify as the trope human space ship for someone who has never played the game. Just seeing any of the other races doesn't show they are all human. The only time they like to show any other racial ships is with speech or avatars to accompany them. Without Sansha Kuvakei in the incursion trailer, wouldn't it look like powerful alien invasion clich+¬ #1. |

My recollection of anything past about a month ago is hazy (except for silly trivia), but wasn't the Raven a damn fine sniping platform about...6-7 years ago?
Even if my recollection is true, all it does it make it more than just a "missile boat" historically speaking. However, this inclusion of lasers is an affront to the Caldari State and no doubt their lawyers will be in touch.
I knew affiliating with the Amarr would cause nothing but trouble.

Torp Raven with shield buffer is quite good for BS warfare. Not the best out there, but you get a nice bang for the buck.

Laser Raven Theory
Quote:
Laser Raven Theory suggests that situations exist wherein a laser can be fitted to a Raven for optimal results. Certain conditions apply and all of these must be met for the Laser Raven setup to be pratical.
1) The Raven is being used to destroy drone or Sansha rats, and other rats with high vulnerability to EM and thermal damage.
2) A second ship is used for the looting and salvaging of the wrecks, making tractor beams and salvagers unnecessary on the Raven.
3) The pilot is aware of how to avoid encounters with hostile ships while ratting, by watching the local window at all times, having bookmarks to safespots, and if necessary, staying aligned to a safespot or celestial object while ratting.
4) The pilot never has capacitor issues.
5) The pilot is willing to spend isk on the laser(s), and an ancillary current router rig if applicable
6) The pilot is willing to train energy turret and controlled bursts skills.

Actually, that's not too far fetched.
If you read the Templar One novel[1], the Amarr developed the Dust 514 super soldier & armor technology. The other races were in a scramble to get ahold of it. So it's conceivable that the Laser Raven is the result of a technology exchange between the Caldari and the Amarr.
[1] I recommend reading it by a fire, preferably a fire started using The Empyrean Age novel as kindling.

Yeah, it would require special ammunition with an outer shell that could withstand the heat of re-entry, like a ceramic heat shield they use today.
I forget, what is it you have to purchase to be able to do planetary bombardment again?
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |
