First off I can solo any level 3 mission in my ferox. I don't use my raven because it seems like a waste of time and the ferox is cheaper to use. (I have BPO's for all my ammo, and I grind down crap loot to make it) Anyway I have 4 million SP's in mostly PVE, I can use T2 drones to boot. I have my Raven at level 4 and I have Cruise missles at level 3. Here is my setup: HI SLOTS 6X Cruise launchers Mix of named 2X Heavy NOS
MID SLOTS 3X Named Invulnerability Fields XL Shield Booster Shield Boost Amp Heavy cap injector
LOW SLOTS 4X PDS 1 BCU There is a mix of named and unnamed gear in here. Any imput? Like I said, I've been running level 3's for a while now, and they are a breeze...

Yes you can. I've been doing the easy ones with 3m sp myself.
Still, I can't tell you about Zazzmatazz, extravanganza and informant, and the other hard ones, but the easy ones (Drones) and some others are doable, and should break you to the L4 scene pretty good.

You can run the easier ones, without tech 2 resists it's probably gonna hurt on the harder ones.
Invuln fields probably aren't a great idea, tank the dmg type the mission does.

You should be ok. especially if you have a buddy who can help you through the first few missions. Raven really benefits from having a cap transfer augorour along so it can run the booster full time.
On the set up I would drop the cap injector for a 4th hardener and personally I run 3 BCU 2 PDS and a facton lrg shield booster, best investment i made for the raven.
PS i reserve the rite to be utterly wrong on this, but the above advice works for me.

a word of warning, some mission rats do use warp scrams, you should be ok with t2 drones, as these should eat the frigs alive, but agress to much at once and it could spell trouble...

I can use torps too. So swap them out when all the small stuff is gone? I would generally swap the hardners for mission specific rats...I've been too cheap to buy the T2 versions. I don't have that much cash since I only run level 3 right now. For those low slots I'm still limited to the 4 PDS's, but they are the cheap ones, If I got spendy and bought the highest named or T2's is that worth it? Keep the comments coming...BTW will the NOS really help me out enough to ditch the Cap booster?

Edited by: The RepoMan on 21/09/2006 16:42:54 Edited by: The RepoMan on 21/09/2006 16:42:06 I started running l4's without issue at bout 1mil sp, by the time i got to 3mil sp I was basically sleeping through them. So yeah, you'll be more than fine, though imo your setup sucks. Mixing long range weapons with short range utility and using more than 1 invuln without any specific hards... ew =/
Also really no reason not to use torps, cruises suck in missions unless you have *****ish amounts of sp in em, and even then I'll stick with torps probably.
Edit: and yes, t2 everything you can, lose the cap booster, and the nos.

L4s are doable, but I'd suggest working on t2 launchers to deal best damage you can. It may be the difference of 'just breaking' or 'wtfpwnbbq' the npc's tank - which affects time to complete alot.
On your setup : Inv are not generally a good idea unless they are t2 or faction - better to look up mission details and custom fit appropriate hardeners. Nos wont be needed in missions unless your cap skills are seriously lacking. Maybe try smartbomb for close in def or a tractor to loot smaller missions on the fly.
Cruise is good at killing both BS and cruisers, but torps are better vs bs - you may want to train these at some point - they are great to have on missions with many bs - leave the frigs to your t2 drones - but keep a tight leash on them lest they aggro whole room.
