Originally by: Krxon Blade My l4 missions raven setup:
hi: 6 arb cruise + 2 heavy NOS med: 3 t2 shield hardeners or 3 t2 inv fields + XL sh booster + 30% sh boost enhancer + t2 target painter low: 3 PDU II + 2 BCU II
I can kill every BS with that and target painter helps alot against frigs or cruisers. For frigs I use 5 med interceptor drones.
I allways NOS 2 targets - close frigs or cruisers and BS at end.
Killing order: warpjammng frigs -> cruisers -> BSes -> rest of frigs -> sentries
I have two setups that I go between, one is very similar to yours.
The shield boost amp one I use is:
6x Arb cruise launchers 2x heavy diminishing nos (I think that one - the 25km one anyway)
1x X-L shield booster II 1x Dread shield amp (37.5%) 3x rat-specific hardners II 1x phased navigation target painter
3x Ballistic control unit II 2x beta power diagnostic system
For my other setup it's identical except the mid slots:
4x rat specific hardners (2x of each) II 1x X-L shield booster II 1x phased navigation target painter
I also have a low grade crystal set (going to save up for the standard crystal set shortly, about 700m to go )
I'm not sure which setup I prefer, so I'm experimenting with both to see what's best. After I find the best one I suppose I just start adding stuff like Gisti boosters and all that. In the mean time, Evemon has given me a 432 day plan for getting every missile, engineering and all the skills associated with all the items, to level 5. I should at that point be on par with the best ratter in the game \o/
(oh except drones. I've not counted them yet, that's about 190 days lol) I am a corp thief. Don't ever let me in your corp, else I'll rob you all. |

Originally by: Captin ShadowHawk There are some expensive looking setups in this thread can anyone give the best cost effective "bang for buck" setup?
my above setup (the one without the dread amp) will cost you about 200 million isk including Raven if you shop around a little (not in Jita, its more expensive there). Motsu and Saila are good for prices, I got my last raven for 101m and that was... 3 days ago. The most expensive things on there are the tech 2 ballistics and the EM hardners (I buy 2 of each type and 2 invulns, and swap as necessary). Actually the invulnerability fields will add a bit more, if you choose those (and I rarely use them except for against Angels sometimes) look at another 30-40m. I am a corp thief.

Originally by: Nabu 6x T2 Cruise 2x E500 Heavy Nosf
3x Inv Field T2 1x Gist B-Type SB amp 1x Gist A-Type Small SB 1x Gist B-Type XL SB
3x PDS T2 1x BCS T2 1x Emergency Damage Control
Could switch the damage control for a 2nd BCS, but I like the extra resists it gives.
I have the small sb going all the time, giving 76 boost every 2 sec for only 11 energy. Almost never have to use the xl booster, only on some mission like Pirate Slaughter where I might get full room agro 
why not use heavy diminishing nos? I think they fit better, and they have a 25km range / 120 energy. I am a corp thief. Don't ever let me in your corp, else I'll rob you all. |

Edited by: Ralara on 27/03/2007 08:08:54 Highs: 6x Tech 2 Siege Missile Launchers (Javelin Torps) // 2x Tractor beams
Mediums: 1x Gisti C-Type XL Shield Booster // 3x Dread Shield Hardners // 1x Cap Recharger II // 1x Dread Shield Boost Amplifier
Lows: 3x Power Diagnostic Systems II // 2x Dread Ballistic Control Systems
Rigs: 3x CCC
Drones: 5x Hammerhead II*
* I used to have some Hobgoblins as well but Hammerheads are better on frigates anyway so I saw no point in using them. I have 7 Hammerhead II in my dronebay - 2 spare.
Implants: full low-grade crystal set without the Omega (will train up cybernetics 5 eventually).
I get 971.something on the shield booster every 4 seconds indefinately, resists range from low to mid 80s for primary, 70s for secondary. IE for Guristas, I get 85.6% Kinetic, 73% Thermal.
Can run the tank permanently, im working on training all engineering skills to lvl 5 at the moment (at 4) to see if I can drop the cap charger for another hardner before I attempt Enemies Abound 5/5 again :)
EDIT: forgot my shield boost amp!

You can probably permarun that tank with 3 BUCs and 2 PDS in low. Dont make to much of a difference but every litttle bit counts! :)
hmm good point, I shall try that!

Originally by: Domosan Officer/Faction hardware. I used to smirk at this.
For the first couple of months after char creation (my other char) i ran cal navy missions, getting to enough skill points that i could use t2 shield hardners/bcu's/pdu's and then level 4 missions became doable. Still had to watch the missions carefully, but they were essentially doable solo(all except a couple).
Spent the last year in 0.0 in large alliances ratting/mining/pvp'ing and just recently got burnt out on it. Packed up my stuff and headed back to empire, to chill out and run missions and cool off.
Decided to buy faction gear for the raven. All i can say is WOW, what a difference
My setup
3x arby cruise 3x arby seige 2x hvy dim nos
1x gist b xl sb 1x dg boost amp 2x pith x-type/gist x-type primary hardner 2x pith x-type/gist x-type secondary hardner swap to 2x dg invuln field if all 4 damage types (say for rogue drones)
1x internal ff array (1 cpu short of using a II) 2x pdu II 2x bcu II
3x ccc I rigs
For the most part, its fire and forget. Can run the gisti booster nearly perma, but its not really necessary as the pith/gist x-type hardners really eat into the damamge you take. I am not laughing at the guys who use faction/officer stuff anymore
Tell me about it. I'm saving up now for the pith hardners.. just another 200m to go \o/
then crystal omega and... heh.
Just FYI:
Faction Gear: Dread / Domination / true Sansha, Blood Raider stuff
Deadspace: Gisti, Pith
Officer: XXX Modified YYY
so you're actually mostly a step above faction ;-)

are you sure it wasn't a gisti c type large shield booster? Theyr'e abotu 150-160m which places it 4 less than the ctype xl?

Originally by: Hugh Hefner Am I alone in using torp-launchers more and more often with the latest patches? Sure cruisers breaks BS-tanks easily, let me point out that heavy missiles do to eventually =P, but torps cut through BS like butter, and the rof aint THAT much worse with 3 upgrades on both setups. Throw in a painter and its even more effective. = time-effective. Sure I only got a million sp in missiles-area, but my skills on torps and crusiers are equally bad =P(most support-skills to IV)
Just wanted to protect the honor of my arbalest siege-launchers, now you can continue posting your over-tanked 5-15 billion isk - setups 
Anyone using a Moros in non-deadspace-missions btw? (a bit un-related to topic perhaps, I agree )
I dont use cruise missiles either. I find missions are faster with torpedos.
