The fact that almost all recommendations are the domi, an overpowered ship that abuses the two currently most broken means in the game (nos & ECM) which are also both - as far as I know - about to get nerfed says a lot about how good the Raven is. But then again we all already knew that. ---

Ofcourse people are going to recommend a domi, it's the I-win ship. But the raven will still have buttloads of trouble against gankageddons and blasterthrons and even the recently decent Typhoon. - - - - - - I have no strong feelings one way or the other... |

Meh, cap inected nos domi can do it without jammers.
I've killed a t2 torp/ cruise raven like that. I wasnt even in nos range for the first minute or so of the fight.
A gank megat or geddon shouldnt have too much trouble barring ew.

I think my megapulse Apoc setup could do it. Will need to try it sometime, see what the outcome is.
Then again I couldn't hold it down, and outside of optimal I'm not going to touch him. Generally I see ravens 100KM of the gate, and I don't see them alone.

Can't belive it... 2 pages and noone came up with this:
If you want to kill a raven, use a Scorpion.
Setup (not tested, but something like this)
Hi: 4 x Siegelaunchers, 2 x Heavy neuts Med's: Sensor booster, 2 x 20k scramblers 5 x Racial ECM's Low's Whatever you need to fit the rest + maybe a light armortank or something...
And a full rack of drones...
Alternative: Another Raven... (siegelaunchers and Neuts + ECM would propably do the trick...)

The main reason I believe no one has come up with the scorp idea is because the Raven is likely going to tank your damage as long as he has cap booster charges, and call his mates to come gank you from 10 jumps away lol

Yea, well... That statement could apply for all ships and all setups. There's just no way you can gank a Raven with one ship, in such a short time that help in closeby systems won't have time to get there...
Oh, and I would love to hear your suggestion for a setup... kthxbye!

Well, this made me laugh. I was already going to post "So if the Domi > Raven, then what do you suggest to beat a Domi?". Maybe someone could answer that first...
But this nice little post twisting it around again to "OMG the Raven is overpowered, nerf it, nerf it, nerf it!" caught my eye. There have been hundreds (no exaggeration) of "Nerf the Raven" threads...so why no (or at least none that I can find) nerf the Domi threads? --- Monty Pythons spoof of the EVE Forums; Palin: "Is this the right room for an argument?"

7x Electron II with VOID ammo 5x Berserker I or Praetor I 3x DMG Mod II
-> ~1k DPS unhardened
Ravens are only a problem to me if ...
1. I start farer away than 30km and he is 100% tank fitted 2. He has ECM fitted. You cant kill something you cant see. But you can counter this by using ECM Drones. They are effectiv in most fights even you cant rely on them work every time.
In first case you can warp away, because he has no scrambler. In the second case you will be toast iam sorry. If he dont have a crazy tank fitted, because he needs an injector or scrambler, then he wont be able to tank the dmg i send him.
Without T2 guns, Ammo and high skills they are a problem i have to admit. _________________________ Iam back

It has been already said: Amarr Recons anytime. Pilgrim or Curse kill a Raven not only once, but most of the time.
Why? Holler me to loose a Raven if you like to :P Actually most Pilgrim/Curse pilots will show ya.

1. cap, you run out of cap with neuts and jammers going quite fast
2. damage, a tanked raven will tank you as log as hif cap charges last, the siege launcher will have like 15 seconds ROF with good skills
3. your tank, you'll get killed by just the ravens drones ------------------------------ at least fit ECCM before you start crying how overpowered ECM is. |

A SOLO Raven, i.e. one with its own tackle kit, cant use Rage torps, and loses at least 1 slot of its tank.
With only a 5 slot tank and tech1 ammo they really arent that scary.
Any close range bs should be capable of handling it, Blasterthron especially with neutron 2's.
OFC if its just using 5 ECM you may have problems, but as stated, thats not gonna be an issue for much longer.

I have found a geddon with mega pulse 2's and bs level 5 conflag ammo, cap booster with a passive tank 1 LAR 2 and 3 heat sink 2's to be quite effective in the past.
Must use those drones, tech 2 heavies using kinetic damage seem to work well.

You kill it like you kill any Battleship that does not pack much in drones.
THORAX ;]
3 Medium NOS 2 Blasters MWD, Webber, Scrammer MAR2, LAR2, 2xEANM2, MagStabII, RCU
Orbit with MWD and those cruisemissiles will hit you for sheit. Suck him dry, let your hammerheads and blasters work his shield slowly as his tank fails (or his cap booster charges runs out)

Dominix is imbalanced due to Nos and ECM, both of which have their fair share of nerf it threads. Raven's imbalance is more about the ship itself, not any cookiecutter setup.
And saying that Raven is imbalanced makes the case no less so for the Domi. But this thread is about Raven, and I find recommending a soonÖ-to-be-nerfed ship commonly acknowledged as overpowered not contributing to the discussion much.

EvE forum killed some pages of this post and I am not willing to write them again ;)
Basically:
High: 2 nos (dim/TS/Amatarr/...), 1 med unstable neutralizer, cov ops cloak
Mid: scrambler (domi scrambler is perfect, 7.5km is fine in most cases too), webber, 2-3 ecm (1-2 bz5- or similar caldari and 1 hypnos multi), 0-1 sensor damp.
Low: insert a nice tank here (no need to tell all ppl how)
Tactic: 1. approach cloaked 2. when too close you uncloak and target, make sure you hit the raven if it was aligned to kick it out of alignment. 3. ECM/damp/NOS/neut/web/scramble that birdie 4. orbit Raven at 1200-2500 m 5. get ya drones out and tell em to kill dat Raven 6. Raven laughs at pitiful damage 7. Raven pukes when he sees 0 cap 8. dead Raven
That easy
THen you realize raven had like 3 t2 extenders and javelins are doing some sick amount of damage to your little ship while you are also painted from drones and die in 15s what makes 3 volleys. --------------------- WTS talisman omega |

Megathron and Dominix are your answer.
Megathron with a blasterthron setup that is setup like this: 7 electrons mwd 1 scrambler 1 target painter 1 cap booster double repper and 3x armor hardener and damage control and cap relay. And ofc ogre t2's help much out.
You will outdamage and outtank the raven when you learn the tactics with a blasterthron.
With a dominix however you simply fit nos and tank. Drones do the **** :) simple. Outtanking and bleeding the raven to death.
My experience.

If the raven gets even 2 or 3 volleys of Javelin on you you're toast.
Simple as that.
Your idea relies on a solid jam, doesn't happen.
Even with no cap the ravens gonna burn your pilgrim before its drones finish it off.

And you're asking for a 1v1 against a Raven setup solely for the purpose!?
Damage control, ECCM fitted with a single amarr racial. As soon as your jam cycle fails you're boned. The only slight problem would be the damps.
Best start npc'ing now if you're really gonna take him up on it.

High 6x650mm's 2xheavy dim nos's med: mostly fubar since Im fittet to take out frigs and cruisers (web,scrambler,dual sensor booster and cap recharger II low: large and med armor rep and 2 exp, 1 kin and 1 thermal hardener
This setup made an even fight where we both ran out of cap at the same time..  ________________________________________________ FORMER!!! I said FORMER Pirate...

Ravens have fofs and drones too. Once you lose your 5 drones you are boned. With your approach any ship that can fit 3 jammer and a bit of nos will always kill a raven. Why doesn't that happen???

ok none stops you from having a white wash again. Just for you my offer:
1. I bring a Pilgrim in any setup I choose 2. You bring a Raven in any setup you choose 3. We pay our isk to someone neutral - a referee. 4. we meet in a system alone for the fight with maybe only the referee present 5. Both only use what they got aboard. 6. A loss as potential outcome is obvious (be it surrender or destruction of a ship/pod). Draw happens if one flees to safety (or both agree on a draw). Win is obvious too like a loss.
I bet 50 mill isk at a 1:4 ratio. 1 point for that helpless small Pilgrim, 4 for that great powerful welsh wizard Raven.
Meaning: If you have your white wash I owe ya 50 mill isk. You owe me 200 mill if ya dun have a "white wash" .
