not all lvl 4's, but as he puts it, i just warp in at range pump missles till they get close, warp out rinse and repeat.

well, npc's are just stupid. On your average mission you face more ships than you can take on by yourself, but you can just bait 2/3 at a time till they are all dead, i dont think its just something the caldari can do. ________________________________________________ Hypocritical. |

i dont care either way, i just found it kinda amazing.
Quick one, then im out....(means no need to reply, i won't be here)
But ummmmm... doing it this way.. id suggest your 'mythical' friend would be better suited to mining....
He would make more isk id imagine
Btw id go for the 'gallante' angle.... not that you have to be gallante to use a domi.... but why warp out when it has the ability to sit there and tank 8 out of 10 mission spawns on lv4's for certain races.......... ______ Long ago one gorgeous night, we let the stars grow free.

Same thing works with pretty much anyone and level 3 gunnery skills.
I've run level 4s with ravens and apocs with the same relative level of gunnery skills (large/siege 3, support gunnery skills at level 3, bs 3) it takes a bit longer in the apoc since you can't tailor your damage to the enemies but if you're not an idiot level 4s aren't very hard.
It's a question of being able to tank just long enough and knowing when to run away.

Why dont we have it that you have to tell the missile to explode by typing "BANG" in a popup window when the missiles get close to the target, this would mean that you could not do this and align to warp at the same time meaning you would have to fight to the bitter end while typing like a madman.
The you would not see so many bloody Raven around lvl agent station now would you.

That would actually be more effective in a turret ship, as he's losing the firepower from the missiles that are still in the air as he warps, and it takes a while before the missiles start to do damage. _____________________________________ meep meep |

I used to use a typhoon for level 3/4's with specific hardeners. It proved quite easy to sit there the entire time lobbing cruise missiles and using my 425mm guns. And the drones only made it easier.

Actually, you could do it with a domi too.
Hull upgrades 4 to use energised hardners and heavy drones with a few nos and frig guns.

Kind of but you can get similar damage once you build up skills. I also think that missles should be feared more than turrets. If they were totally equal to turrets, they'd be kinda lame. "Big guns and heavy armor what else is there?"

Except then we get even more of the omnipresent Raven. For every Mega or Tempest or Apoc I see, I already see at least three or more Ravens. It gets tedious seeing this big ugly thing flying around everywhere. Like giant ugly metalic sheep... ______________________________________________

That's basically how NPCing always is, just substitute guns/drones in for missiles. It's pretty mindless most of the time. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

"For every Mega or Tempest or Apoc I see, I already see at least three or more Ravens."
Try some PvP for a change. Last time was travelling in gang of ~30 battleships, there was literally _one_ Raven in it and one Scorpion, which ironically enough was equal with amount of Domi's alone. Nevermind the Megathrons, Amarr and Minmatar ships... this is quite typical numbers, save for Scorpions normally being bit more frequent.

I rat in a Raven, but I won't fly one in fleet combat. I have more skills in gunnery than missile skills now.

Ravens don't seem like good ships for fleet combat simply because if you're fighting at nearly max range, you're looking at possibly having your target go pop before your torps hit it. I'm sure they are somewhat useful in fleets and all, but with big groups, the ability to alpha-strike something and kill it instantly would be a huge boost.
