This is what the most popular fittings on ships amount to roughly. Of course depending on how you fit them that can also change...
Armageddon: High DPS, medium range, good in PvP. Apocalypse: Armor tanking, long range, awsome cap. Scorpion: ECM platform, high threat level in PvP. Raven: High DPS, shield tanking, good in NPC missions. Dominix: 1vs1 ship, Nos/EW user, kills with drones, solid tank. Megathron: Balanced gunship, extreme long or short range fittings. Typhoon: highest range, lowest damage, 3 types of weapons, fastest battleship. Tempest: Burst damage monster, hard to pilot, fragile.

Thank you.
That is an excellent overview.
Any opinions on a raven's viability in PvP?

The Raven is AWESOME in PVP unless you are shooting anything smaller than a battleship.
Then be prepared to start fitting a new ship.

It does pretty well against Battlecrusiers as it will hit for Full damage if you Target paint. ******************** Join Public Channel "Christian Public Access" for great fellowship and fun |

So a Raven is strictly a BS killer.
Against anything smaller you need support.
That right?
That is a tad bit depressing :)

Not really, you can fit smaller launchers on it if you want to kill smaller stuff or you could use high precision T2 missiles to hit cruisers and even frigs for quite some damage.
A tempest wont be able to hit a frig at ALL when it's moving, a raven will hit it, but for a small amount of damage [unless you use precision ammo, or paint them] ___________________________________________________

I really like the Raven. It's the only ship I fly that doesn't fit a cloak of some kind. _________________________________________________________

i thought cruise missiles hit crusier for decent damage, all you need is good missile skills, and you should be able to insta gank anything but a platerax and duramaller

Problem with that is that a lot of cruisers can out do the explosion velocity of a cruiser missile pretty well with an AB.

With Target Navigation Prediction L4 (assuming l4 to show a point, tho why the hell you wouldnt get it to l5 i have no idea), a standard cruise missile has an effective explosion velocity of 700m/s, not too many cruisers running ab's move that fast, and even a mwd cruiser only hits about double this amount 1.4km/s.
Also, with Guided Missile Precision at l5, you hit effectively for 225m explosion radius, kills most cruisers without a problem as far as I see it, and experienced it.
Not to mention the t2 missiles...
