change resists to t2 or faction (if you dont have CPU then change some of the lows for faction) after that change shield booster to best you can afford to have and later cruise launchers for dread or caldari navy ones. rest is up to you.

I have in the middle instead of so many hardeners just two of them, the XL shield booster, the shield amplifier and two cap recharger. Lows two BCU and the rest cap flux coils.

Caldari Navy CML = Fail Cruise Missile Specialization doesn't work on CN CML.

Aren't you gimping your tank a bit then? I know ur recharge is high to keep up with shield boosting but with only 2x hardners II's it wont really break 70% high on 2 dmg types.

'tis you who fail m'lad. AFAIK the ROF on those things make them better than T2 launchers. Am I right or am I right? Am I right. amirite.

With CM Spec 5, CML II vs CN CML is a marginal 0.3s. And seeing CN CML is about 50-60M/unit its a bit of a waste.
Offcourse if you have money to burn and u dont wanna spec high into missiles then CN CML is the best option. :)

Don't forget the fitting reqs (allmost 200 PG less for each launcher). And why train a PvE skill (CM spec) so high when you can use CN launchers which you won't be loosing ever anyway

Or you could simply train Cruise 5 instead of Cruise Spec 5 and get the full effect from CN Cruise. ADDITIONALLY, they are flat out better than T2 Cruise, and they cost less to fit.
No, CN Cruise and CN BCUs are excellent investments on mission ships.

Well a gist booster makes the raven easymode, with it's low cap use you may be able to get away with using PDU's but for non Gist users you need the best cap you can get.
CFC's give better cap regain
I've just started out with the raven and this is what I have so far, drained my wallet of well over a Bill.
7x Arby CML, 1x 650mm Arty II
1x CN XL booster 1x DG Boost AMP 3x Active hardeners T2 1x Cap Recharger II
2x CFC II 3x CN BCU
I am currently using a CR over a hardener or amp because the CN booster boosts and uses cap faster than T2 so the CR is there to make the tank a bit more stable. This may change as I experiment.
Best investment so far has been the CN BCU's, like 2.5% more damage than T2 and much easier fitting like 70mil isk each. Cant see the impact of the damage increase from the fitting screen though when I add & remore BCU's the damage number is not changing which is a pain. ---------------------- Rank: Tech 1 and a 1/2 cannon fodder

until a week ago i was running a raven with the following: 6x cruise ll xl booster ll 3x hardener ll 1x boost amp ll 1x cap recharger ll 3x bcu ll 2x pdu ll 3x ccc
i personally like the extra cap buffer given by the PDU's even though the CFC give a better peak recharge. with the PDU my cap would run out in 1.5 mins with the CFC it would run out in 50 seconds due to the reduced amount of cap.
I only use the CFC when it makes the difference between a permitank setup and setup i have to micro manage

This is the right answer with regards to PDUs vs CFC's. Of course, I'm not real sure why you want a tank that you don't have to micromanage.... because it means you didn't fit enough gank on the ship. ^_^

To see the damage increase you need to check the missles themselves, not the launcher.
I had the same setup as you, but i've found it better to go with XL-T2+CN Amp instead of XL-CN + CR2. About same cap efficiency and about 10% more boost/sec.
Also if your going to use a gist XL booster, you really can't complain about the cost of CN launchers vs T2 launchers (or any other CN vs T2 mod).

Not entirely correct. My setup uses a Large Gist C-Type booster and T2 boost amp instead of XL, which is perfectly good enough to tank all Lvl 4s. It permaruns (sits at ~40% cap) and allows me to fit 3 BCUs, so I have about as much gank as I can muster.
