I've never had to request a ship fitting before as the last time I played (~3yrs ago) an active site existed for fittings but it seems most of those sites are gone now so my best option is here, it seems.
I recently purchased a T1 Raven and would like to test my mettle in a BS, running L3 and L4 missions, mostly as a tandem with a friend using a Hyperion BS fitted for L3/L4s.
I would prefer the fit be on the cheaper side until I can generate the ISK to upgrade. Not sure what skills information you may require from me (new to fitting requests) but I can tell you I am 58 minutes from Mastery I with the Raven and ~5 days from Mastery II.
Thanks! |

GÇó Pith C-Type X-Large Shield Booster
GÇó Scoped Target Painter I and Large Micro Jump Drive instead of the MGCs
GÇó 2x Rigor II and 1x Flare II rigs
GÇó Missile Guidance Enhancer II instead of the co-processor
The idea with the shield booster is to pulse it when needed and not run it continuously. The MJD is for when you screw-up (don't feel bad - we've all been there; I'd just rather not see you lose a ship if you can avoid it).
Appreciate the response but I have a few dilemmas.
Pith C-Type X-Large Shield Booster would require more GJs to activate than my current, standard X-Large Shield Booster and given that my capacitor depletes in just under 90s, that's a problem -- which brings me to my next point: riggings. The current rigs I have installed are needed for the capacitor.
I'm currently training into the MJD but opted for the Afterburner as a temporary solution. I'm open to replacing one of the MGCs with the Phased Scoped Target Painter but again, it requires a slightly higher GJ-activation cost.
I've already replaced the co-processor (it wasn't needed after all) with your recommendation of MGE II.
I'm aware that this isn't the most optimal fitting but my intention is to stick to manageable L3 missions while grinding out skills and ISK. Having a buddy with a superior vessel lightens the burden on sub-par fitting. I have a fully-stable L3-fitted Drake to fall back on if necessary, on the upside. |

Fair enough. Seems like sound advice.
Do you think this fit is serviceable for L3 missions at the very least? To be quite honest, I really just want to dip my toes in the water with this battleship and see if I'll even enjoy the darn thing. I'm sure my experience will be impacted by a sub-par fit but I believe myself to be a competent pilot, which is why I feel confident in attempting it.
Again, thank you for your input and the subsequent explanations! |
