Signature Analysis
And then wahtever u need for propulsion etc. That's from memory - I'm working towards a Raven now, and I want all those skills at at LEAST level 4 before I step into one (exept those at lvl 5 that are needed like Heavy Missile Launcher and Missile Launcher Operation).
I got 45 days left to go ;)

Don't bother with those shield compensation skills (except the "Shield Compensation" skill, which is actually useful). Also, most people won't bother with a target painter on their Raven. Make sure you get your missile support skills up in addition to those engineering and whatnot skills.

Shield Operation 5 allows to use Tech 2 shield boosters - definetely a skill to have.

You only need it at level five to use XLarge T2 boosters. 4 for Large, 3 for Medium, and 2 for Small. Of course you'll be wanting to use an XLarge on a Raven for missions (or so I am told), so getting it to five is a good idea anyway.

Here's a catch for you.
The Damage per second rates for torps, heavy missiles and cruise missiles can be misleading. Here is some info:
Base rates:
Heavy Missiles
Speed: 3750m/s
Flight time: 10s
Range: 37.5km
Base Launcher RoF: 15s
Damage: 150
Dam/Sec: 10
Exp vel: 750
Radius: 125m
Torpedos (Siege Launcher)
Speed: 1250
Flight Time: 30s
Range: 37.5km
Base Launcher RoF: 24s
Damage: 450
Dam/Sec: 18.75
Exp velocity: 400
Radius: 250m
Cruise Missiles
Speed: 3750
Flight Time: 20
Range: 75km
Base Launcher RoF: 22s
Damage: 300
Dam/Sec: 13.63
Exp vel: 500
radius: 300m
It would appear that Torpedos win the day. However, if you take into account that there are severe drop offs in damage for ships with signature radii lower than the bast radius you will find that torps and cruise missiles are pointless against friates and less useful than heavy missiles against cruisers.
My advice is to learn up Heavy missile as you main weapon. The ammo is cheaper and takes less of your cargo, the damage per second actually works out higher considering the amount of frigs and cruisers (and even some battle ships) you encounter.
For example with the following skills:
Heavy Missiles IV
Missile Bombardment III
Missile Launcher Operation V
Missile Projection III
Rapid Launch III
Target Navigation Prediction III
Torpedoes II
Cruise Missiles I
Warhead Upgrades II
I do the following to structure (ie unresisted):
Tristan
Class: Gallente Frigate
Signature: 42m
Heavy: 7.5 dps
Torp: 4.0 dps
Cruise: 3.7 dps
Catalyst
Class: Gallente Destroyer
Signature: 86m
Heavy: 15.4 dps
Torp: 8.3 dps
Cruise: 7.7 dps
Thorax
Class: Gallente Cruiser
Signature: 140m
Heavy: 22.4 dps
Torp: 13.5 dps
Cruise: 12.5
Brutix
Class: Gallente Battlecruiser
Signature: 300 m
Heavy: 22.4 dps
Torp: 28.9 dps
Cruise: 26.8 dps
Dominix or Megathron
Class: Battleship
Signature: 420/400m
Heavy: 22.4 dps
Torp: 38.5 dps
Cruise: 26.8 dps
As you can see the only advantage of cruise missiles are their range. Torps advantage only really becomes distinct against other Battleships. If you are a mission runner then I would recommend sticking to Heavy missiles and concentrating on them at least until you are doing level 4 missions.
Just my thoughts,
Mik

Very misleading, as you did not factor in Raven cruise/torp bonuses, the 3x5% bonus to damage your heavies are getting over your cruise (Skill 4 vs. skill 1), no guided missle precision skill to increase expl velocity. Using "base" rates with no skill modifications is nice too.
How about this, with about 600,000 in missle skills and caldari battleship at 3:
XR3200 Heavy Missle Bay
Speed: 4875m/s
Flight time: 13s
Range: 63.37km
Base Launcher RoF: 9.98s
Damage: 179.4
Dam/Sec: 17.97
Exp vel: 975
Radius: 106m
Arbalest Siege Missle Launcher
Speed: 2112.5m/s
Flight Time: 39s
Range: 82.36km
Base Launcher RoF: 12.75s
Damage: 538
Dam/Sec: 42.19
Exp velocity: 325
Radius: 400m
Arbalest Cruise Launcher
Speed: 6337.5
Flight Time: 26
Range: 165.75km
Base Launcher RoF: 11.71s
Damage: 358.8
Dam/Sec: 30.64
Exp vel: 650
radius: 255m
To the OP: Learn Drones 5, drone interfacing 3 and caldari drone spec at 1, use vespa II's on small targets, they will tear frigs and even cruisers apart while you bombard the big targets with cruise/torps.
