Hey all... I fly lvl 4 missions in a Raven with relative ease... but it is a long grind for me. For example, Angel Extravaganza took 2.5 hours. That seems particulllarly slow... how long should it take?

Depends if you only talk about killing all without looting nor salvaging .. some will say "woohoo made it in 35 minutes" .. "without looting and salvaging"
It takes me between 1 and 2 hours including the "secret" pocket, with two accounts and all looting/salvaging

About the same. Looting and salvaging make a huge difference in the time required. Not so uge in reward usually.

When i started doing lvl4s in a raven i was so dissapointed that i almost gave up on it altogether, it was just like KISOGOKU said the wrecks had dissapeared when i came back to salvage it took that long.
But take your time to invest in the right skills and equipment and you'll see major improvements, for example one magical number to look at is your ROF get that as low as possible and missions will start going faster and faster.
But 45-50 min for AE is very fast but its something you have to work to.

I have a close to top-fitted CNR, and my missile skills are at 8m SP. GE takes me about 1 hour (incl. bonus room, no looting, no faction ammo, not shooting the station).
The important thing is to get your DPS up as high as possible, i.e. by getting skills up and getting good equipment.
So, for a Raven pilot..... Train cruise missile related skills to at least 4 (5 is better) Get a CNR! Train Caldari Battleship to 5 Get a CNR!! Get the relevant missile implants Get a CNR!!! Get Caldari Navy launchers & ballistic controls Get a CNR!!!! Invest in a Gist XL shield booster when you can afford it Get a friggin' CNR!!!!
You may notice I put an emphasis on CNR's  The reason for this is, that this is the biggest increase in DPS you can get! That 7th missile slot is equivalent to a DPS increase of 16%, which may well increase your killspeed on BS by 50%...
Explanation for that (numbers for illustration only): You fire 6 missiles at target BS for 100 damage each = 600 damage Target BS repairs/boosts 400 damage Net damage is 200.. If you fire 7 missiles, net damage will be 300, i.e. 50% more.

30 min with 2x CNR. Approx 40 ... 45 minutes solo (have not done it solo for while). Most 'hard' (meaning max LP) missions go in 20 to 30 minutes with 2x CNR. Some crap mission take same time due to long travel distances and big blob of frigates.

1 hour and 30 minutes odd in a Domi. The bonus is that time includes loooting / salvage. Hell of a tank with being able to run two Larger Repairers II all the time with 4 hardeners.
A lot cheaper than these CNR jocks... I can watch TV safe in the knowledge if I **** up, I'm only 70M out of pocket.

I can do that too in my t2 fitted raven. Seriously...of all the things a raven can tank, the ones that worry me LEAST are angels.

How long a standard raven with only t2 and arbalest cruise in "the assault" mission take? In general, how worst is a standard raven in % (t2 no faction) against a CNR (t2) and CNR (faction)?

I'd say it takes around an hour (perhaps a little more) for me solo in a nighthawk.
While I don't salvage, I do loot the battleships as I go. (love the tractor beam)

I loot and salvage almost everything and I fly a Rattlesnake... about an hour and a half if I remember correctly. If I wasnt so greedy it would go a lot faster!!

Edit: I hit the timer when I push the "Activate Gate" button or start to warp to the encounter site and hit the stop when I get the "Mission Completed" popup.
Key point: time to salvage/loot/kill extra NPC/destroy building not included
Sometime it is only wasted time, sometime it is useful to do all the above.
For example silence the informat until not so long time ago dropped some scence skillbook and/or RAM and Hardwiring from one of the building (lately it drop only ammunitions or common modules).
To me the time to complete a mission is the time from accettign it to the moment I stool looting/salvaging it.

I do level4 6hr missions in a Drake in an hour( born 04 )and only bring a Raven in to speed things up if there are a lot of BS's or in that mission where there is 1 named rat with a horrific tank that the drake wont touch.
I have 2 T2 BCU and 2 T2 shield power relay's in low slots. Cant fit T2 launchers so use malkuth's ( not paying horrific prices for arbies). 2-3 T2 LSE and 3-4 T2 active hardeners. A lot of them missions I don't have to warp out at all ( like the one where you go through the toxic cloud ) and about a 1/3rd of them I do, once maybe twice. I have had to bring the Raven in twice for that 1 tanked BS rat and once to speed things up. I planned to use it every time, using the drake to kill off support and Raven to kill the big stuff but as I said, usually just go right through with Drake. |

Ouch, that's slow. It takes an hour and ten minutes excluding the bonus room in my Nighthawk. The bonus room is another fifteen to twenty minutes. Looting takes about an hour though. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

You will get approx that number with Caldary BS lev 5, Rapid Fire lev 5, Caldary Navy launchers + 3..4x BCU II or Navy/DG BCU. Not sure but perhaps you might need to add 5% missile RoF hardwire also. It gets reasonably close to 6 sec RoF at the higher end of skills/fittings. Might even go under 6 sec with officer stuff.
T2 fitting can get under 7 sec RoF with max skills (and 3x .. 4x BCU II's) also.

so the secret is just spec on 5 with a 5% hardwire RoF. btw.. got the named skills u count on lv 5. I ll try this with a 3rd BCU II and the spec on 5...
seeing you next in 34 days.....training

Is this rof correct carniflex for cruise laucher IIs ?.Im new at quickfit .

Training cruise spec to 5 is a pain, it's a x8 skill, not worth that 2% imho, dg/cn launchers aren't thaaat expensive anymore and still faster compared to t2 even if you have the spec skill at 5.
With 4 cn bcu and caldari navy launchers i currently get 6.23 rof, with a structure hit of 599.2 max.
I remember when i had an estamel cruise launcher it had a rof of 4.98 - would be awsome to have 7 of them together with officer bcus

You definately don't want to loot/salvage everything. It depends on the mob if you loot, salvage or both. This is all my opinion, and my experience with the game thus far though.
In my experience, Gurista has been worthless to both Loot and Salvage. Blood Raiders have good salvage but bad loot. Sanshas seems to be the good for salvage and loot. Merceneries drop great loot but crap salvage, usually salvage a bunch of scrap metal. Those are the gangs I fight mostly so that's the only ones I'll go on record as stating their loot/salvage results.
Not that there's not a chance you'll miss some expensive item, but it's not worth putting an hour or 2 into loot/salvaging a bad mob. When you can clear another good mob and loot or salvage that one instead.

mmmm officer fitted navy raven 
think it took me about 2 hours to do an angel extra, although i was semi afk.
and attack of the drones can be a really quick mission, but i wanted all the drone alloys :x
