I've got a Raven Navy Issue I've been thinking about blowing the dust off of. With the bonuses of velocity and explosion radius it just seems like it's begging to have torps fit (even if with the changes to torps and cruise). However, I can't seem to fit 8 tech 2, 3 missile rigs, and the basically required cap booster to it. I either blow the CPU or PG threshold. It's only got 5 lows which with 4 taken by BCUs that leaves one low slot to try to deal with the fitting problem. Anyone have any advice for getting 8 torps, 3 missile rigs and a cap booster wrangled? |

Those are all good fits. Using cruise does seem to be a better idea. There's only a 12-ish percent difference in raw dps and with the explosion radius and velocity changes it looks like they have more applied dps as well. I've been playing around with a cruise fit and just realized that unless you're using furies, the CN variant launcher does more raw dps than their tech 2 counter part. It comes down to the fact that the rate of fire of the the CN version is more than 10% better than the tech 2 launchers. So even if you have cruise spec V, the CN version still spews missiles faster.
Also, is there much reason to use the RNI any more? I build out a SNI and have exactly the same raw dps with slightly worse application (10% vs cruisers and smaller) with a utility high, utility mid, higher shield/armor, and higher resistances. As far as I can tell the only reduced item is you can carry 3 more backup drones in the RNI. |

Don't know what I'm going to use it for. I'm just recently back from an extended break from Eve and I'm still trying to catch up with all the changes. I'm really thinking about just wholesaling the hull and switching to the SNI. With the extra mid I can actually fit a point and a web while still having a brick of a tank. I'm sticking with highsec for a while doing missions to relearn how to fly properly and earn a little brainless ISK while I do it.
My secondary ship is a tengu. Even with implants and the kinetic bonus it's still pretty slow kill anything bigger than a cruiser. I'm hoping the BS will have a little more punch while i can just leave the frigs to the drones. BTW, what happened to drone aggro? Even after I pull a group, as soon as i drop drones they seem to be the primary target. |

I always leave my drones on passive. I would pull a single group, make sure they were all targeting me, and then drop the drones on the frigs. It seemed like every frig in the group would immediately switch to the drones. This was with a flight of medium drones. I have since switched to light drones and what do you know. Haven't lost one yet, or even had one shot at. |
