With the exception of #9 all of the things you've suggested involve actually having to change a cookie-cutter Raven build and is therefore invalid.

Preaching to the choir Tippia

Sadly it's easier and quicker for the 1.03902+e16 Raven/CNR cruise users to just whine on the forums about it rather than actually train up target painting.

So there's a lot of raving about missiles, speed tanks, etc. Here's your quick and easy guide to make life easier on yourself once more.

1. Train "Target Painting" to L4
2. Train "Signature Focusing" to L3 or 4 (5% bonus to targets sig radius)
3. Train "Long Range Targeting" to L3 or 4 ( not really necessary but gives max range on cruise/target painting if you have the flight time, etc)
4. Train "Electronic Warfare" to L2, in order to...
5. Train "Frequency Modulation" to L3 or L4 (10% falloff bonus for TP's)
6. Train "Long Distance Jamming" to L3 or L4 (10% optimal range for TP's)
7. Fit a T2 Target Painter to your ship
8. Activate it on target
9. Pwn it with your cruises

Et Voila! Problem solved.

The alternative is to gimp the target with a couple of webbers - or have a gang mate to it whilst you tank and shoot dps. The above 9 steps will help solo Raven/CNR pilots in missions BUT the drawback is you lose 1 mid slot so you'll have to tank more efficiently.

Remember that this "nerf" also works both ways - if you too keep on the move they still have to overcome your "speed tank" (lolz at Raven speedtank) so the loss of a mid slot isn't too much of a problem.

EVE isn't designed to just look like a cold, dark and harsh world, it's designed to be a cold, dark and harsh world.

Decent advice with 1 correction.

Use a PWNAGE instead of a T2 target painter as they are far easier to fit.

Thanks, these are good suggestions. (Yes, I'm a noob here).


What is HACS, by the way?

Hello, another EFT general!
Thank you very much for your enlightened advices :)

Now teach me where do I put my SHIELD TANK on the RAVEN where I have 1 TARGET PAINTER, 2 (a couple) WEBBERS and 1 AFTERBURNER to catch my targets into web range
