To be honest, I feel that the op is at a the "omg missiles such against turrets" stage, which is actually fictious.
Caldari is not underpowered.
At face value you could argue, like you have, that "omg we suck". Perhaps this is due to the flashy videos of ships mwd into fights and "pwning" with their turrets. The fights you speak of, getting involved at 20km, is something that appeals to the majority of people; i guess there's more honour/glory/whateverego about getting into someone's face.
Caldari, in general, don't do close range. (though, with a bit of intelligence we can really well)
You criticised the raven inparticular due to its low shield hp. The point of a raven tank is not to have alot of "meat to chew through" but to be able to replenish as much shield as possible. Tech2 xl sp with boost amp tech2 and 2 shield rep speed rigs is obscene.
"my cap regen is a poor 500" - you're recharging cap? What do you think we are, amarr? Slap on an heavy cap injector it will see you through as you only have your sheild booster and harders requireing cap opposed to weapons as well.
"without multiple bcu2 our dps is far below opponent ships". Well, there's the glory in it. We can fit mulitple bcu2s and we don't gimp our setup.
The only ship i can really comment upon fitting problems is the hawk, but that's becuase i'm attempting to put the best of the best on an ickle ship that just wants to use rockets.
- my advice -
It's better than "oh my god, stop whining", honest. Just think of the purpose of your ship before you even get in it. Don't sit there and think about the situations you want to put it in, but rather, think of the situations that it wants to be put in. Slam a raven/drake/crow/whatever 0km from your target and attempt to pwn your way though = fail. bait ships about, splitting them and then getting them to come to you from say 50km gives you the advantage.
by the way, the raven is a beast. There are only two ships (exclusive of faction and cap) that it shouldn't be pitted against and that's the domi and apoc. You've got every other class of ship, every variant and race to to go into a fight against and not have to really worry. If you get jammed, F.o.F missiles. If you get them from long range and they begin to approach then you don't have to worry about optimal range.
If you want speed and tackling ability get a crow.
You are perhaps the sexiest eve gamer I have ever had the fortune to encounter on these forums! -Conuion Meow ([email protected])
