Hi
Just thought i'd drop my raven set up on forums - just in case anyone cares
6 x arbie cruise (no longer silly expensive)
2 x heavy NOS
1 x T2 Large Shield Booster
1 x T2 Large shield Extender
4 x Active Hardeners
3 x PDU2s
2 x Named BCS
8 x Med Drones
With the new missile skills and sheild skill - I have found lvl4s, not easy. But well do-able solo. takes longer and sometimes I need to warp out. Getting thru Vengence and Serp EX, with no warp outs :)
anyway - like i said - just thought I'd drop in down.
would like to hear what others are doing

Here is my setup.
-3 named cruise missle lauchers (to be updated to Tech2
-4 Siege lauchers - (Tech2)
-1 25KM Heavy named nost
Meds
-Domination XL shield booster
-Caldari Navy shield amp
-1 Gisti 55% Kentic and 1 Gisti Baslistic, 1 Photon hardners.
-Cap rechanger ii
Lows
-4 or 5 pdus (Depending on mission)
-0 or 1 Warp Core stab.
for drones I use meduim Valkeries at the moment, I find that they do a very nice job agiast the frigates
With this I am able to tank just about anything expect for the infiltrated outpost mission. Tank will run for about 3 mins if left on constant, Gisti hardners use less PG per cycle, thus allowing more time.
I also have 10% extra to SB and shield compensation trained to level 4s, with 2.3 Skill points in missile ops, caldari bs level 5, and command to level 5.
I can sum up most missions not all there are still a few that can be alittle dicey. Make sure that any missions with any scrambles for the WCS, to be damm sure. As I run a very expensive setup.
I appreciate that not everyone can use the named gear like this, but if you wanna do most of the level fours, then it does help give you the edge.

PDU= Power Diagnostic System, it is named after the reactor control unit as it also finish with the word Unit
BCU and BCS= Ballistic Control System, as in the case of the PDU the writer has mistaken the System word with the Unit word. It is because most of the newbies start using Reactor Control Units 
Hope this helps

This is really interesting. Everyone has totally different setups. I'm still unhappy about the missile nerf, but it's entertaining to see the diversity... and also how rich you guys are 
Personally I use:
4 Siege
2 Cruise (named)
1 Heavy nos
1 small rail II
1 XL CL5
3 hardners
1 boost amp
1 sensor booster II
3 PDS II
2 BCU (named)
Mixed medium/light drones
What I don't get is why am I the only one using a sensor booster? Why fit cruise missiles if you can't shoot them much further than 100km?
One other thing: The inties scare me now so I warp in at 100, align, take out as many as I can and then start to warp out when they get to 40km (better safe then sorry). I then warp back in on the other side and repeat until they are gone. I don't trust WCS or my missiles/drones ability to kill them before the main force wtfpwns my ship.

Six Cruise launchers yup just basic type, just waiting to get T2 versions
2 150mm scouts rails for frigate self defense
3 cap rechargers
1 Lif booster
2 Target Painter IIs
1 Large Armor Rep II
1 1600mm Crystal Carbonide
2 named hardeners which I always vary per mission
1 named Cap Relay or a third hardener if needed
15 medium drones in the hold
Deals with npc webbers and scramblers quite well. It's unusual for a Raven to be plated armor tank I know, but my primary mission rats tend to be Sansha and Bloods all laser using types and armor is much better for dealing with all that. Plus it lets me use target painters against small targets.
Because you cannot just torpedo through everything, you are much more selective of the kind of missiles you use for the damage type most hurting against that race NPC.
With new missile skills trained up and the new speed of the missiles, I feel I can down rats faster than my old prepatch torpedo siege launcher based setup.

He should be able to break the tank on the toughest of rats. I manage with passive tanked raven which has no BCU's at all. 6 cruise launchers are not enough or very slow to do it so I use 4 cruise and 2 siege launchers..

in midslots, one gistii a-type booster, an XL t2, a boost amp and 3 hards works really well
leave the gistii booster on all the time (it regens more DPS than a large t1 armor rep, for practically no caps)
use the XL when u need it

I did some checkign on my setup regarding this one but i fail to see the benefit of it? armour tankign a raven is realy non benefitial sicne u have more shield points (4800) than armour (4250) in addition u have more medium slots that enables more hardners and booster type for shields 6 medium Vs 5 low PDU T2 and BCU are supposed to be there to futher inhance the DMG and ROF of missiles which are the ravens main weapon and high slot configuration . Is this setup realy effective tanking and dmg wise????

A passive tank is not an armour tank. It's a setup that increases shield hitpoints, but to make an effective one you have to use all or nearly all your mid and low slots on shield modules. Hence no slots left for the BCU's.
I have to say its alot easier to do the missions in a gunboat though and I only did this to see if it was possible.

I just wonder... what about this:
6x cruise, 2x whatever
AB II, sensor booster II, XL booster, boost amp, 2 hardeners
5x BCU
Idea is to stay away and spam.

Range is always a winner :)
I can do some lev4 in my HAC with range as my shield.
However DS missons remove the range before tank option.
Nice to see so many setups on Ravens btw.
