Ill be blunt:
Well skilled character with every missile skill to at least 4
if I want to run missions, should I use siege or torps?
Will a raven be able to break the tank on the hard(er) bs's with cruiser? Will the torps do any kind of noticable damage to anything with a sig radius small than a small moon? Info appreciated.

Are you sure you have those skills? because if you need to decide between "siege or torps" i think you have a problem

heheh yea having to descide between siege and torps is tough one  especially since siege launchers use torps  anyways in all reality i think it comes down to your preferences to decide between CRUISE and torps. just whatever your more comfortable with, i've seen both used effictivly.

Why not use both? 3 torp, 3 cruise?
Those are not the end of your choices, either. 6 siege and 2 medium guns (plus med slots that take care of the small ships) is also an option. With any other ship, you'd consider tons of possibilities. The Raven is no different.

Depends on the mission
Most missions are good with cruise.
Some, like mordus headhunters and duo of death are argualbly better done with siege.
(I use a rattlesnake with cruise for missions and never break a sweat.)

I'm quite happy to use torps on my Raven; my drones and lasers will easily deal with cruisers & frigs fairly quickly, leaving my torps for the battleships.
I use less ammo now that I used to, thanks to my new reliance on Drones & Lasers to kill the smaller ships

Well, I have played with a lot of settings since the CW changes, but I've never found that my drones and lasers will "easily deal with cruisers". Frigates yes, but not cruisers, particularly in a mission swarm where you can get 10 or so of them ripping you to bits...I can't tank the damage long enough to take them out (and yes, I have the right hardeners, and top notch skills in all things shield related). Torps realy suffer against cruisers...once you have the missile skills up to a good level, Cruise sufffer less.
Me, I use cruise and a sensor booster...toddle off to 150km away (yes, multiple gate deadspace missions take an age  ) and shoot them from there. Idiot tacklers arrive before anything else...I just let the lasers and drones take them, while I concentrate on the cruisers...most of them don't get to within firing range. Then I take on the BS unless it's a quick one (Angels) and has warped to close range (How come THEIR MWD's work okay in deadspace???) in which case it gets priority once it has closed.
To be honest, as a tactic, I hate it, but I've found it works. I'm hoping CCP do a little something for missile users that will give us another option.

For me, it depends on the mission. Sometimes its all cruise, someitmes a mix, sometimes all torps if it's just going to be BS's. Lately i've been using 1 arby siege launcher, 4 arby cruise launchers and 1 arby assault missile launcher. I use defenders in the assault launcher or regular missiles to help out the drones. Seems to work pretty well.
One setup doesn't fit all anymore. You have to experiment.

6 siege missile launcher II's (hard fitting them on though) and let the drones kill the small stuff works well for me, although some of the angel cruisers take a while with drones
