5m an hour? so youre only running 1 mission an hour? something is definitely wrong

check eve survival for correct damage and tank types first

I'm doubting whether a 1-month old character can really fly a T2-fitted CNR. The training for T2 cruise missiles takes at least 20 days, while the training for T2 light drones takes about another 8 days.
So it's either OP's Raven not being full-T2-fitted, either his support skills being very low.

I think 1 mission an hour is still more than 5 mil an hour. A single lv4 blockade can give you like 25 mil bounty, 4 mil isk reward, 9k LP (whichi can be exchanged for like 11 mil isk) and 10 mil loot/salvage, so it's like 50 mil an hour.

4) Are you salvaging? A lot of people don't salvage or loot but I like it, I generally drop a tractor unit at the beginning of each mission, run a few and then come back with a salvage ship and tractor in anything missed, loot and salvage.

Sorry guys, I understand I didn't provide enough information, here is my fit:

Raven Navy Issue

'Arbalest' Cruise Launcher I X8

Pith X - Type X - Large Shield Booster
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II X2
EM Ward Field II
Thermal Dissipation Field II
Cap Recharger II
Large Cap Battery II

Ballistic Control System II X2
Capacitor Flux Coil II X3

Large Capacitor Control Circuit I X3

While writing this I realized the shield booster is kind of overkill and I need too many modules too keep it stable.

The slowest parts of the missions is killing smaller ships such as frigates, I know there is a lot of modules which improve this but I am not sure which ones I should use. Also I run missions for the Caldari Navy.

You are in a classic situation of trying to fly something you largely are not ready for. And then you went the extra mile buying the Navy version of the ship in the hopes of offsetting your lack of skills.

That being said there are several things to keep in mind, which hold true even after you have mastered the skills.

1. Your mission ship does not need to be cap stable. You shouldn't be running your shield booster full time, and if you need to you REALLY aren't ready to fly the ship. You should only need to pulse the booster, a bit more in the beginning until you thin the mission pocket.
2. with fewer cap mods you can fit more DPS mods, and especially target painters. Which you desperately need in a missile boat to hit the smaller stuff for anything useful.

If you aren't comfortable trying to change your fit, you should consider going back to a regular Raven so you don't risk such an expensive ship.

T2 light drones. Ignore anything and everything else and get to T2 light drones asap.

Understood. Thanks :)

T2 light drones. Ignore anything and everything else and get to T2 light drones asap.

you are overtanked and over capacitored

you run missions for caldari navy so lets presume you fight gurista a lot

highs- arbalest cruise x 8 is the best you can get in terms of t1. make sure you use scourge missiles as guristas are weak to kinetic damage. t2 cruise gives you fury and precision cruise missiles which are fantastic. make sure that all missile support skills are to at least 4, they will help you apply more damage

mids- guristas deal kin/ therm damage so you want a t2 kin and therm shield hardener. you can add a shield extender or invuln field 2 dpending on your preference. a shield booster large or xl

with the 3 remaining mids i like to increase my damage application so a target painter, missile guidance computer with precision script and a sensor booster- no script, increased lock speed and range and sensor strength against pesky gurista jams

lows- damage control 2, 3 x ballistic control units and a power diagnostic. increases resists, damage, shield and cap regen

rigs- 2x rigor catalyst- helps apply damage and 1x kinetic screen enforcer for added resists

drones- hornets and vespas

with this and good skills, i can 1-shot frigs, destroyers, cruisers and battlecruisers over 100km away

when fighting other enemies, change your shield resists, missile and drone types

you will be blasting through missions soon enough

I'm still at 1.9m skill points

You've received some very good advice so far in this thread which is all fine and dandy...



... once you're actually ready to fly L4s.

You can go for T2 lights asap, and fit TPs and MCs and so forth, it will still take you forever to kill just one BS because your missile support skills aren't there. You want to increase damage output, missile velocity and flight time, and decrease explosion radius. And so on.

Profit-wise (and that is what the OP is about, no?) you'll be much better off running L3s in a Drake or some such simply because you'll be able to run a lot more of them in the same time it takes you to run just one L4.

I'm doubting whether a 1-month old character can really fly a T2-fitted CNR. The training for T2 cruise missiles takes at least 20 days, while the training for T2 light drones takes about another 8 days.
So it's either OP's Raven not being full-T2-fitted, either his support skills being very low.

You are absolutely right I rushed to the BS, I'm still at 1.9m skill points but I really don't want to come out of it, so shall I start training to get target painter T2? And I normally pulse the booster anyways so I might take off some cap mods.

Thanks for the advice :)

He probably has something like a single T2-Damage Control and in his mind this makes it "mostly T2-fit".
