So here I am, after six months off of EVE wondering what I should do. Everything was almost overwhelming as it all came back to me. I'm sitting in station in the Curse region, as I prepare for the long journey back to empire. The road seems clear at first, maybe a few snags here and there as I journey in my Amarrian shuttle. For the most part I just want to get familiar with the game mechanics again. "This is it." I think to myself as I buy my new Raven, it's been so long. After initially flying around and buying parts I have decided to go and try my luck at a level 4 mission. I had been quite the agent runner before joining curse and eventually resigning from Hydr4 and EVE. Some hesitation as I hit "accept" ran through my head. Taken aback as I remembered how deadly I was with a Raven; those thoughts quickly escaped from my head. Deadspace; wonderful... I was not sure what to expect warping into an acceleration gate. Activating the gate, I waited for what seemed like an eternity to warp. Blinking, I was locked down by some 12 frigates and cruisers. "Ok, easy enough..," I thought to myself as I locked the first cruiser. My Torpedo soared right into the nose of the NPC Cruiser knocking down a small percentage of his shields... "119 Damage?!" thinking to myself as another wave of torps barely scratched this cruiser. Must be a bug; too late to turn back now. Eventually I took out some 3 or 4 cruisers... now for those annoying frigates. Locked one, two, and three... "F1, F2 ...ö! Instant damage and a message popped up "Your Juggernaut Torpedo I strikes @#(* inflicting 19.7 damage." I couldn't believe what I was seeing; these frigates were going to take out my raven as I couldn't do enough damage. No one in local... no friends online. It was 1am... too far from downtime to monitor my shields and stay awake for another 5 hours. I had given up all hope as I walked away from my computer in complete hopelessness as an hour had already passed. "Welcome back to EVE," I thought to myself as I distinctly remembered talk of a missile overhaul before I left. GG CCP  , You got me good.
Currently in a Ferox, doing level 3 agent missions trying to build up enough ISK to get back in a Raven. Looking for a PvP, PvE and agent oriented corp.

The raven is no longer an "I win" button.
The above statement pretty much sums it up.
Welcome back though. Hope you find a good corp and recoup your loss soon.
Much appreciated.

I'm also tinkering with the idea of using my 29mil isk left over after losing my battleship and buying a ferox to post a buy order on isogen and keep reselling it. Not sure how to play the market though atm.

I only wanted to share my experiences with the others on this forum. Did not mean to start an argument about missile damage. My apologies, I found a very kind agent/pve/pvp corp in 0.0 who took me in. Thank you everyone for listening.
