Seem to be having issues tanking L4s in my navy issue Raven and I'm not sure why, fitting is as follows.
Caldari Navy BCS (x4)
Cap power relay II
Pith b-type x-large shield booster
caldari navy shield boost amp
kinetic deflection amp II
thermic dissipation field II
EM ward field II
target painter II
sensor booster II w/ range script
Cruise missile launcher II x 8 w/ t2 missiles
Large capacitor control circuit I x3.
The issue seems to be the incoming damage yet I can figure out any way to negate this. On a lvl 4 mission I warp in, am able to take down 6-7 rats before having to dock to regen cap and shields since mine were bled dry. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Tried the whole sniping thing but since I'm running Caldari Navy missions I often end up fighting guristas and the range thing seems to mean nothing. DPS doesn't seem an issue, sitting at 934.3 dps at the moment. Go easy on me please, still so green! |

Suppose this is where I hit trouble, so many different fits that seem viable! :) Thanks for the advice gang, will sort it out tomorrow now as I've just finished work and I'm beat. |

Be gentle with me! ;-)

Trained for the auto targeting cruise missiles and mjd last night so will be trying that out this morning. Also got a few missions that weren't guristas and managed to sail through it almost without turning my shield repper on. |

Ok so currently on third mission using Caleidascope's suggestion of mjd'ing out and sniping back with auto targeting cruise missiles and I must say it's make missions a breeze. Don't think I've been hit once in the last three missions. Can't say that's my problem solved though as the dps is rather slow and it's taking 30 minutes or so to get a multi-room mission done. Fantastic advice from the community so far though so thanks everyone! Noticed on another thread people are claiming to make 100mil hourly on lvl 4 missions, is this accurate? in 2 and a quarter I've made 30 mil :P |

Very good point Chaos, thanks. If I do stick with this setup I could drop out my 3 cap recharge rigs straight away and head for more dps. I hope you guys don't mind me slightly altering the topic, but on the point of DPS as a sniping BS I know I'm using the wrong drones. As you can probably tell from my eveboard link my drone skills are terrible. Should I be aiming for sentry drones straight away? would t1 sentry drones be better than t2 lights or mediums? I ask this because it seems Auto-aiming missiles fire at the closest target so it seems to go for the frigs first anyway. |

I haven't actually considered a rattlesnake, would the fit/strat be similar? rather green I'm afraid  |

Using the strategy suggested by kalei I'm getting through 2 missions an hour or so and only clearing 25-30mil (without looting/salvaging) Nice that I'm actually finishing them so have progressed well at the minute but would like to now optimize and perhaps increase earnings.

Do you think my skill set is ok for the rattlesnake? Just want a fit where I'm pulling in a decent amount of cash. 40mil so far today and I've been on awhile :/ Do have 50k lp I've not cashed in yet so may look at that now.

Am on for a good few more hours if anyone feels like contacting me in game ;-) still confused on which direction to head in really. None are a quick-fix and will involve more weeks of training. |

Actually have already taken the lead on the upgrade Caleidascope as you're absolutely right, the fit is wonderful! I'm using it on my mission runner and spending some time on an alt learning exploration since it is so safe :P One problem I've run into on the upgrade so far is that with 2x sensor boosters I get 200km+ so targeting isn't a problem yet with t2 faction cruise missiles I'm only getting a max flight range of 127km. Guessing this is skill related but i'll be darned if I can pick which skill it is heheh. Thanks for the fantastically detailed post!

Yeah did some looking into the rattlesnake and while it does look good I think for now atleast the Raven is where I should stay. Nothing stopped me from continuing training onto a rattlesnake once I'm done with my raven skills :) |

So it would seem my quickest way to be able to efficiently do lvl 4s would be to upgrade the kalidescope fit by not using the fof. So I need more missile range. Think the path is clear... I think! :) |

With the barghest's 50% penalty to missile flight time I'm guessing that's more of an 'in your face' strategy not the sniping type :) |

22 days went quick! quick update with what's going on with me! Changed from grinding caldari navy missions to sisters so now live in (censored) running L4s.
Current fit:
CNR
cruise missile launcher II x8
active shield resists (dissipation field ii) (faction specific) x2
meta 4 tps x2
caldari navy shield boost amp
x-large pith b-type shield booster
caldari navy ballistic control system x4
drone damage amplifier ii
2x rigor 1
1x large liquid cooled electronics rig
using t2 missiles
drones are
1x gecko
1x vespa ii
3x hornet ii
DPS
drones 213.1
missiles 856.3
total 1069.4
So I'm getting used to the missions and noting down times to complete in current setup. Think my goal is to figure out which missions are best to blitz for LP return. Fairly confident with my current fit. I keep a MJD and sensor booster ii with my other mission supplies in hub incase I need to snipe a perticularly hard mission but haven't ran into one yet. So to finish maxing out my cnr I've started training all missile skills from 4-5 and caldari bs from 4 to 5. After that I'm not certain. Considering updating to heavy drones but with the cnr I don't think I could have any heavies out with the gecko.
Would love some comment to see if I could tighten what I'm doing, thanks guys! :) |

Using t2 faction ammo against cruisers at the minute to be honest mate, almost always pop them in one volley. Battleship rats usually take 3 volleys to pop so I'm wondering how the investment of 200mil (t2 rig) would improve my performance. One thing I would like to fit is a prop mod as slowboating to the gate when I forget to set approach on warp in is painful and really kills my completion time :)
