I can solo every lvl 4 Caldari mission with my Raven but when it comes down to this one guy on the Vengeance mission, I have to call in someone to help me break his tank. I know there are guys that have managed to take him out solo and I'm just curious what you use or do to pull it off?
For those of you that don't know who I am talking about, I'm refering to the named BS pilot at the end of the lvl 4 Vengeance mission. His name is Rachen and he is in a Raven.
My setup is as follows... (Raven)
Highs: (6) Siege Launchers II's [11.03 ROF each atm] (1) Heavy Diminishing NOS (1) Tractor Beam I
Meds: (1) XL Shield Booster II (1) Shield Boost Amplifier (Named) (2) Capacitor Recharger II's (2) Shield Hardener II's (Kinetic & Thermal)
Lows: (2) Power Diagnostic Unit II's (1) Ballistic Control Unit II (1) Co-Processor II (1) Internal Force Field Array (Damage Control)
I've been using Juggernaught torpedoes and tried launching them at various proggressions to break through his sequence of boosting but his shields hold at 50% est. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
One extra question, do NOS's effect NPC's cap or are they infinite?

Edited by: Leandro Salazar on 28/07/2006 22:39:10 I got a very similar setup and break Rachen without any sweat. The main damage-relevant differences I can see is that I use two BCUs (No Co-Pro needed coz I got a gist tank and domination BCUs) and Javelin Juggernauts. Normal T1 torps suck as they get shot down by defenders a whole lot, while Javelins don't get shot down nearly as much. And of course I set my 5 Vespa-IIs on him too. Cakewalk.
And NOS effect NPCs cap insofar that they are emptied at one point. Then you don't get any more cap out of your NOS. Supposedly they also stop tanking at that point, but I usually one-volley the ships that I keep around me for a bit while sucking them dry, and all the battleships die long before their cap empties so really cannot say if they REALLY stop tanking with no more cap. --------- ZOMG my sig was concordokkened!

If you set range to 0 meters - defenders should not be a problem ?

Unless you use an afterburner, this guy does a pretty good job of keeping you at 49km. That could be another tactic for pilots that cant use Javelin Torpedoes yet.

This has been replied many times. Just get closer than 20kms to defeat the defenders. Equip an AB, and a second t2 BCU. You don't need t2 missiles.

I kill him easily and my Raven skills really suck (most missile skills only lvl 3 though all tanking skills are lvl 5) since I only use it for missions. My setup for him and all other missions is:
High: 6x XT-9000 Cruise Launcher (cheap but decent) 1x Heavy NOS I (usually nothing in range for it but nothing else to use) 1x Tracter Beam I
Mids: 1x XL Shield Booster II 1x Shield Boost Amp I 2x Kinetic Hardener II 1x Thermal Hardener II 1x Cap Recharger II
Low: 1x Ballistic Control Unit II 3x Power Diagnostic Unit II 1x Internal Force Field Array (best named DC)
Drones: 5x Vespa II
The drones are very important. Without them, I can't break his tank! ![Embarassed](/images/icon_redface.gif)

Nos him. That hurts his tanking pretty badly. Use your drones to either web or damage him. Phoon works better than the raven because of the additional speed. --*=*=*--
Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment. |
