Anyone remember when the Raven had 6 turrents and 4 launchers (might have been 2)? I think the race bonus was also towards large hybrid range and dammage, but could be wrong about that.
If you don't remember this then don't post here because you have not been playing eve long enough Just kidding, all comments welcome, well most are welcome
I want my old set up. The one I used on Armageddon day. Would be nice to use more than 4x 425mm Rail II.
Don't tell me to train another race ship either, I am Caldari, I fly Caldari ships.
My current set up consists of 4x 425mm Railgun II, 2x Named Siege, 2x Assult. The mid and low are my secret.
I would love to swap the 2 siege launchers for 2 more 425mm rails.
Spelling corrections welcome, but don't expect me to edit my post. |

Without bonus from Caldari BS, turrets are not that great 
But yes, a 8 highslot 6/6 would be cool.

Yes, but even 425mm rails sucked then. There was never a period in EVE where this weapon was good.
When I had my first Raven it had four pre-nerfed tachs. Yes, four tachs. Tachs at that time were simply better even over race weapons on race ships with bonuses. Even the Doms and Megathrons had tachs. The old Raven boost was the longer optimal ranges for large hybrid weapons. At best it was questionable since the Raven lacked enough CPU to fit enough large 425mm rails, which themselves sucked no matter which way you look at it, compared to the tachyons.
The rest of the highs had heavy missile launchers that could carry 2 cruise missiles each or 12 heavy missiles.
My current setup is 6 cruise missile launchers, 1600mm plate, target painters, armor hardeners and a large armor rep, abandoning my previous setup of siege launchers, XL shield boosters, shield hardeners, and PDUs in the bottom slots.
In all the time I've also experimented with 425mm rails, large blasters and even 1400mm howitizers.
The Raven was a ship that sucked and stayed sucked for a long time. People preferred Scorpions more which was infinitely more versatile. The Raven was left in the dust during the era of battleship mining and the heady days of npc farming. It didn't have the turrets for enough mining lasers, while missiles were too large and too expensive for NPC hunts. Back then, the very mention of using the Raven for NPC'ing would elicit laughter and questions of your sanity.

Ah yes, the way back Ravenà..
If I recall, it only had three low slots and low CPU, nobody flew them much less built them. I had to special order mine from Techell.
I used one before they got changed to do missions in. Back, when most missions were courier missions. Fit two or three MWDÆs and it would move! Back then Caldari ships still had agility, and MWDÆs stacked.
I also fitted Tachs rather than rails, but I think it only had 4 turrets back then, only the beta version I think was 6/6.

You're not a real man unless your caldari ship used to have tachs + heavy launchers with cruise :)
Scorp setup: 2 x tach, 4 x heavy launcher
Oh and my 4 x megabeam chaining raven 4tw! :D

kessies w/4 stds W/cruise were the best imo :) Also dont forget the rifter with its 2 stds and 2 280's :). I dont think anyone even used Siege Launcher back in the day on their ravens. Took too much CPU and PG or somethin

haha, wow what a response.
Ok, first off, I said you can not correct my spelling and grammer, so back off
Second, I was refering to beta when I said it had 6 turrents, which ive been corrected to turret.
Third, I am perfectly fine soloing lvl 4 missions just as I did before the patch, so don't think this is a whine.
Fourth, Raven was not always a missle boat so shut it already with that. The true Raven was a gunboat, if you did not play back then, then your a noob and can't tell me what a Raven was designed to do.
Fifth, I really could care less, I am more or less wondering if I am ever going to see a use for these 425mm rails II I got trained up.
And lastly, anyone that wants to flame, can take a flying leap from my aeroplaneers hole without a parachuters.
I am remenesing some, leave me alone and let anyone that desires to follow suit, to do so.
Now that the great wizard has spoken, I expect this to heat up a bit more maybe

And i want 10 turrets and 8 medslots on my rifter.
UNNERF THE RIFTER!!! DEVS DO YOU HEAR ME???
It seriously needs some unnerfing, i can hardly take on a assault frig. THATS NOT FAIR.
I can remember that EVERYTHING was better before the patch (but i can¦t remember which patch).
All these changes are so annoying. I think i quit EVE. Or i spam the forum instead.

Were they called turrents back then?
