The raven i'm aiming for is a gate camper and set up as such... I currently have an geddon (With tachyons, and decent modules). I have a little over 1 M sp, so nothing extreme.
Said raven is purely set up for gate camping, nothing else. Any tips?

A long range geddon is most likely better, as missiles take time to hit - especially at long range.

Damnit, the forums ate my post. 
Anyhow with your skills don't even think about engaging a Raven.. and besides what are you doing in an Armageddon so heavily underskilled? You'll only end up losing it.

ya i didn't see the 1mill sp :)
well to be honest a raven is a very powerful ship. geddon is all about doing the most dmg possible and blowing the other guys before he can kill you
don't fly it pvp until you have at least 3 - 4mill sp in gunnery. and at least BS4 the geddon eats cap with the rof bonus and really isn't ew friendly.

That Raven is out of your league for now. You are not likely to be much of a threat to him. When you get 2 mil or 3 mil SP you should have whats needed in skills to best him.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the sense of this line? Gate camping = max distance of like 20km. A distance where the missile flight time doesn't matter really.

2-3m SP isn't enough to properly, competently, or even decently fly an Armageddon.

What does the fact that missiles have flight time have to do with the gate campers skills, be it playerskill or SP total? Drones take even longer to reach the target, that doesn't mean people that fly a Vexor are even more skilled than Raven pilots. 
Edit:

Apparently not?

Not to many people use Missile boats to Gate camp cause missile travil time can mean the difference between killing the target and the target getting away. Also 3mil SP focused on PVP can make you a very powerful pilot. ------------------------------------- Proud member of G Guild! |

1. Pulses are more dps, less cap, and easier to fit. 2. Your skills are way too low to kill a well piloted raven... or to be flying a geddon at all.
I can kill a Raven 1v1 with my gate camping geddon setup, but I have more SP in one skill than you have total [Large Energy Turret 5, 1.28m SP] and I use a full rack of T2 mega pulse with conflag ammo and a truckload of armor to absorb the T2 missile damage, and it's still a close battle. You are a very long way from being able to take out a raven with a decent pilot.

In a frigate. You need far more than 3m SP to be a good Battleship pilot, even in the Raven.
As to the flight time comment, with level three skills a Torpedo takes 9-10 seconds to travel 20km, but a Cruise missile makes it in three or four seconds. Anyway, while Missiles have travel time, Turrets have tracking problems at that range, and some don't even hit that far. Still don't see what it has to do with the pilot being skilled.

I said in gunnery not total SP and I agree, it takes more like 5mill sp in gunnery and techII guns. but considering he's trying to fly it with a total of 1mill sp i didn't want to discourage him

That's why I quoted Majin82, who said 2-3m SP total.

Personally, with 1 mil SP total, you shouldn't even be flying a BS cause you dont really have anything else to back you up. For now I say leave the big ships until you can keep them alive with your pure knowledge of the ship (knowledge as in skill points). Armageddon is not a great ship to drive after only a couple of months of EVE. You want a ship that can fend for its own after taking a few hits so I say get an AF or an Inty. But come on people be realistic, I couldnt even fly a BS at 1 mil SP.

My alt still doesn't fly a BS, and she's at 7.2m SP. I don't remember when my main was flying battleships, but the first was an Apoc for mining, back when it was the king of mining.
