In a Raven, with eh, mostly T2 modules (except my XL Booster and Launchers)
what do I need to do to start smoking through the lvl 4's? Drones are getting worked on now, but it takes me forever to finish some of these missions, so my isk and LP/hour is pretty gimped.
I've thought of running some lvl 3's again and seeing how I do LP wise...
Or am I doing okay, just setting an unrealistic bar for myself? It's taking me half to a full load of Cruises to take out one BS, drones for frigs, and cruisers I use both.
On top of my seeming lack of DPS, I have 4 T2 Hardeners on, an XL booster, and a booster amp, with 3 CCC rigs, and I'm still hurting in several situations. I can usually tank 5 BS's, but that's cutting it close. There have been a few missions that I absolutely could not do on my own, due to seeming bugs in the mission (full room insta agro's, etc)
Any tips on what I should do to get through these faster and a little easier? And is it worth it to bump up to Caldari Navy missiles? Or should I just stay with the regular variety?

Set up: 6x Named Cruise Missile Launchers (9000 series) 12.36 ROF 1x NOS 1x Drone Link
4x Hardeners (2 of each main dmg type in most situations) 1x XL Shield Booster 1x Booster Amp
3x PDU I's (upgrading to 2's when I get off my butt to buy them) 2x BCS II's (just installed, haven't mished with them yet)

Edited by: KISOGOKU on 12/09/2007 09:28:49 Nice setup except this,your Rof is not good.what is your rapid launch and caldari bs skill lvl ?I was making around 10m per hour when i started doing lvl4s with similiar setup ( i had damage control II, PDU II *2 and bCUII *2), I switched to arbalests ,took rapid lauch to lvl 5 ,switched to tech II cruise launchers later Cn cruise lauchers.Everytime my isk/per hour increased. train your missile and missile support skills to lvl 4 invest to arbalests at first step.decide to which one do you want tech II torpedos or cruise and train for it.faction missiles may help for now/or until you have better skills. 3% missile rof implant may help too.

pull a pdu and add another bcu if you can. also save lp and tags for the caldari navy bcu's. i have caldari battleship lvl 3 and rapid launch lvl 4, with 2x republic fleet bcu and a t1 no name bcu im getting 9.8s rof with the xt-9k launchers. the extra speed on the launchers helps finish missions alot faster. youll see as the rof goes down how much it effects the speed you complete missions. consider pulling the shield boost amp and fitting either another hardener or a sensor booster so you can reach out and punch those spawns that you see at 100km sometimes. being able to pwn them at range keeps you from having to spend 10 minutes running at them.

Good setup, tho RoF is a bit low as pointed out. If you have to warp out ocasionaly then this will also nuke your rewards rather badly, so if tanking is problem then go for heavy cap injector with x800 charges (you might have to drop NOS to make it fit).
Siege launchers are also faster in missions, but they are harder to fit and you need some manual managing to get that effectivity from them. So as pointed out figure out if you will stay on cruise or want to go for siege and then go for it. Initial diffculties in some missions are normal.
Until you know what happens where I would avoid faction fittings and also insure your raven. Few losses are normal during learning the ropes, even if you read up before jumping in as there is some situations you learn by experience - like few specific rats that will cause mass agro and very heavy dps on you in some missions if you use drones on them (like in worlds collide and enemies abound) and other similar 'tricks'.
