Late start on the thread...

Seriously, PvE is re tarded.
And yet I somehow have more fun and fewer urges to break expensive computer hardware that I cannot replace while engaged in PvE than I do when engaged in PvP. Odd.

So what if a raven is the best mission running ship?
Agreed, haven't really liked the raven in the past. Use abaddons to support drakes or dominixes.

-Cerberus/Eagle-Both are long range and eat support ships for breakfast. *The caracal is a cheap version, but still can rip through support ships like a madman.
The caracal can also perma-run an MWD while spamming HAMs at close range.

Not to mention, in order to get full damage out of torps a Raven pilot will need to sacrifice two or three mids... which means NO TANK.
Actually... Hm.. If I were to fit 6 siege launchers on my drake I'd need to...
Swap 1 LAR2 for a PDS2, swap 2 CR2s out for painters (if I wanted painters), swap out the T2 neutron blasters for 2 T2 150mm rails, swap the ACR rig for a nano accel. rig, and swap out my cruise launchers for siege launchers.
Along the way my theoretical max DPS goes up a whole 25 points and I lose almost 42% of my tank. Well, I guess some people consider a 42% drop in tank "no tank," but then I guess most people don't think that armor tanking a raven is a good idea.

10x Brutix > 10x Ferox (nobody flies a cyclone or whatever the unknown amarr BC is)
How many brutix pilots fit gang mods? I am, of course, persuming that they might for some inexplicable reason be the squad booster. Just curious because I've pondered a ferox build that at top skills tanks and does DPS about as well as a mid-skill range drake and can mount a gang mod to help with everyone else. Granted that only 1/10 of those feroxes will have said gang mod and be using it if the pilot is squad booster but stranger things have happened.

There was a time when EVE was a true sandbox MMO that supported all playstyles, but changes to the game have ensured solo PvP is pretty much dead and even small gang PvP is dying. As such, EVE is moving more and more towards the mainstream model, which is a crying shame; most people who play joined EVE specifically to get away from that crap-ass gameplay philosophy.
The fault is as much the players' as it is the devs. Some players whine about how all the ships are the same so the devs listen and make them more specialized. Other players decide to gang together for piracy and profit which results in formerly solo players ganging together in order to not die a wasteful death due to the aforementioned pirates.
The players have at least as much to do with it as CCP does.

That's just so WRONG! I use a Nighthawk...
My main's caldari and uses a drake, dominix, or machariel for her primary ship in missions. Might be adding typhoon and (armor-tanked) raven to that. Of course she also has the abaddon bat waiting off to the side for DPS support.
