My question is what would be the skills that you should have to pilot a raven effectively and should I shield with the raven and if so how?

Well, First, the Raven is a Battleship
- Train Caldari Battleship to whatever lvl suits you. 3 at least.
Second, the Raven is a missile-using ship (although it can use other stuff too)
- Train all missile skills to lvl 4 (3 at least)
Third, the Raven is Caldari, and it's better to Shield tank than to Armor tank.
- Train Shield skills that boosts the shield, Capacitor and such.
Fourth, the Raven has quite a little CPU and PG.
- Train Engineering (Rank 1) and Electronics (Rank 1) to lvl 5.

Get all missile skills to 3 or more.
Get your drone skills up so you can at least fly 6 drones at once.(you need drones to take down frigates).
Get a majority of your engineering skills to 3, 4 or 5.
Train some targetting and other related skills....
My current mainly PVE setup with a possible PVP is
2 Siege launchers.
4 Cruise Launchers
2 Heavy NOS
Webber, Scrambler, 2 Hardeners, XL booster and Amp
PDUIIs and a BCS in the lows. |

for missions
Hi: 6 cm launchers 2 heavy nos (i like using a small npc friggie as a sort of battery, popping it last) or small rails (T2 150mm)
med, targetpainer, webbie, shieldmods (depends on the mission, but always a T2 LSB and a (soon T2) shieldhardner of some sorts)
Low: PDU2's and Ballistic controls
6 heavy drones (ogres/wasps) but thinking about switching to 4 heavies and 5 T2 med drones... (any ideas on that would be appreciated)
signature? What signature? ;) |

You are going to need weapon upgrades at level 4 or 5
unless you want to waste a low slot on a co-proc.

Tbh, if you need to ask what skills you need for a Raven and ca't figure out how to fit it yourself, you shouldn't be flying one.
You will find that as you learn the game over time all those skills you trained will come in handy. A complete list of skills required to be effective in a Raven would be far too long to post and would take at least 6-7 months of training.

Absolutly spot on...
Experience really is key in ship set ups is what ive found. I have made posts before about my ship set ups and everyone has different opinions on it.
Your best bet is to get out there and start flying it....Even if its just doing the lower lvl missions os sweeping the belts.
I use Caldari HAC's and I am currently doing lvl 4s in an Eagle. Ive spent months training it up and had a ball doing it....Just take it out and have a blast

Drones 5
Drone interface 1
Heavy Drone 3
Engineering 5
Electornics 5
Shield Management 5
Shield System Operation 5
Shield Copensation 4
Tactical Shield Manipulation 1
Energy Systems operation 5
Energy Managemnt 5
The skills for max number of tagets to 5 and max target range to 5
Mechanic 4
Hull upgrades 4
Repair systems 3-4 (so you can use repairers)
Navigation 5
Evasive Manuver 4 (warping faster is always nice)
Missile launcher operation 5
Torp 3 (5 asap)
Cruise 3 (5 asap)
Missile bombardment 4 (5 asap)
Guided Missile precision 4 (5 asap)
Missile Projection 4 (5 asap)
Target Navigation 4 (5 asap)
Payload upgrades 4 (5 best)
Rapid Launch 5
(Torp and cruise spec should be at 4 asap too)
And some sort of small gun specilization for anti-frig
Weapon upgrades 5
Then you want options for fitting EW, tackling gear, nossies
Considering that the missile skills alone will take 5 month to reach level 5s in the important ones you should be mostly ready to go w/ everything at 3. Just stick with your gang and don't expect to solo everything under the sun.
