Hello,
Just got my first L4 Mission and my Raven, whilst I could finish the mission, it was pretty slow and I had to warp to station twice for a repair which took about half the ISK from the reward/bounties. I also run out of cap really fast.
I'm not able to fit any T2 stuff yet and haven't chose rigs as I'm a little unsure which to go for. I change shields and missiles (T1, faction would not net me profit I don't think) depending on pirates. I'm the type to loot/salvage everything.

Cheers guys, some excellent advice here. I'm giving the fit a tinker and will hopefully do better.
I would like to try a Rattlesnake, but it's a long way off. And L3 Missions are a long "drive" so I had hoped to do L4's, even if it's a bit slower. Will see though, I tried another mission last night, "Buzz Kill" and couldn't do a thing so maybe.
I hadn't thought about the LP with the profit, I forgot all about it, got a chunk saved up from getting here.
Could I ask, why would light drones be better? Hit more? I'll give it a go.
And yep it's insured, I insure everything because I can do dumb **** accidentally quite often :)
Thanks again. |

I use heavy drones at the moment, and eft gives much more DPS than the light drones. Do light drones hit smaller things more than heavy? I only had salvage in the bay for cleaning up afterwards, my heavies don't really die.
I'm checking each mission on that site beforehand :)
Thanks, should get my skills for the new fit tonight so will get to give it a whirl :) |

And managed to try that missions again, "Buzz Kill", against Angels, but can't do enough DPS to down a single ship in the first wave of Assault Cruisers. With the Cap boosts I'm able to stay alive no problem but can't get shields past 75%, seems futile. Tried both Light and Medium (I think I've said Heavy, previously, my bad) drones, and while light helped, it wasn't enough.
It's fairly disappointing to realise it took a lot of L3 missions to pay for the ship to run L4s, only to find it couldn't do **** and I need to wait another 5+ days to get a 5% buff to try again. Then another 5 days to get a 3% buff if that doesn't work.
Am I really stuck behind a 10+ day wait wall before being able to do these missions or am I just doing it wrong?
Cheers. |

Oh what a fool... I got the wrong ammo didn't I. I thought inferno = explosive for some reason, makes sense now though. The bloody mission expired before I could retry it too. Not only that, I lost standing so I'm back to L3's to get it up again. So, least when I eventually try this mission again I might be better skilled :)
My skills in missiles are:
CM 3
Bombardment 3
Operation 5
Projection 3
Launch 4
Warheads 3
Bloody annoying how I won't know if using explosive would of solved it though, vs next set of skills.
Got drones 5 in the cue next. Be interesting to see how I get on in other missions now then.
Cheers for the builds, might give them a go once at some point, but my thinking was that I can't directly pump DPS out whilst I can pump cap out, so building for dps and pumping cap seemed the obvious choice, assuming I don't afk.
Cheers. |
