Hey ppl I like my torp raven but every time I join an op my fellow corp/alliance members are disapointed in my bs selection because they all rr armor. I like flying my raven but I also want to help my corp/alliance. Should I start training amarr/gal or should I just keep flying my raven?

Outdamage them with Torps from 20k away and laugh at them.
You can plate a raven, and fit ECM in the mids! ------------

Thanks for all the feedback on an armor buffer tank raven setups. I've never even seen setup like that. My normal pvp raven is: (all T2) H:6x Siege M:2x Invuls 3xboostamps 1xXLbooster L:3xBCU 2xCPU Rigs:3xCDOS1 TP drones Might have to start training up my armor skills.

What failfit is this? It is expensive and has a stupid low armor tank for rr ops,if enemy calls you primary (as caldari ships are always primary in an armor rr gang)you will melt fast or cap out your buddies trying to keep you alive. The minimum tank for an armor rr op looks like this: 2x 1600plate 2xeamn 1xdamage controll + rigs if you can afford those webs on rr bs? no competent enemy will come close,if they do then neuts /drones will kill them. 2x tp is okayish i would go with 1 if there are more ravens with me and use damps/tracking disruptors or cap recharger for rr 2x large remote rep? it will be very hard to have enough cap for even one ,and you will run out of cap charges too fast
the rigs you posted are more expensive than the whole fit of the raven+insurance and gives so little for such a high price --> useless
oh and use rr drones 5 med +5 warriors
Whith no ballistic controlls your raven wont do much dmg , you are better to train out the typhoon or geddon or domi for rr gangs, and leave the raven home.

Congratulations, now you have less dps than an average cruiser (note: not even a BC), so why exactly did you bring a battleship? With zero damage mods, a Raven is just a joke.

Good luck doing worthwhile damage with battleship missiles if you don't have a web/painter.
Quote: 2x large remote rep? it will be very hard to have enough cap for even one ,and you will run out of cap charges too fast
Then don't run both of them if you don't have to. You've got a second spare high slot, so you might as well fit a second rep in case you need it.

Exactly. The Raven is terrible for armor RR gangs. The setup I posted was an attempt to make a somewhat less-bad setup, but it's really just a hopeless cause. -----------

What single minded friends you have...
I mean, ONLY Armor tankers in corp? thats what I'll call homogen [boring?]
No doubt cap/rep amount is best for armor but it got enough disadvantages to be en par with Shields. [and dont give me EM/Therm being most used dmg types....use hardeners or something] Perhaps I should really remain missiles and go all way for explosive.

Edited by: Naomi Knight on 23/12/2008 11:31:21 But the reason for rr gangs is to keep all bs alive,by having enough ehp to let your buddies lock and rep you and have enough resists to not cap them out. Thats the basic you should fit for and doing it on a raven makes it completly unable to dish out acceptable dmg. Thatwhy I would never recommend a raven in rr armor ops or other caldari bs. Ive seen many bs die to pos guns because tank was not enough for rr gang,those were the fail fits.
Learn the other races bses and you will be much more usefull for less isk.

hey now! naomi and merin have no reason to fight lol
every RR (armor) raven i see looks similar to merin's a dc doesn't really mean much when ur RR'ing u kno? most fits i see tho have two eanms.. but like... nitpicky much?
expensive? ur in a shiny shiny shiny we-all-rock-so-we-can-all-rock and it-works-as-long-as-no-one-cheaps-out gang "SPEED + GANK = SPANK... Spank that ***** up" |

to be honest, i know it's hard to run an RR gang, it's so complicated and perfect communication is required, but when it works... it's beautiful.
I've been wondering... and I've been testing this out with my friends, we been trying every thing remote lately,
remote sebos, remote Reps remote ECCM energy transfers tracking links
in conjuction with an EOS with intel warfare links (we run an all gal gang for ****s... those falcons.. are umm.. not with us)
anyway, back on topic.
everything remote works better that local, but it all depends on the chain, Like the SPARTANS in 300!! it feels pretty good, no? "SPEED + GANK = SPANK... Spank that ***** up" |

Unfortunately shield RR gangs are a joke unless you've got capital support. Of the shield tanking battleships, only the Raven has spare highs for RR mods (Malestrom and Rokh need all 8x guns). I guess in theory you could also force a Dominix or Tempest to shield tank in a RR gang, but I suspect it would be a pretty ugly setup. -----------

The Raven can be fine for RR BS gangs, obviously it's not going to be top damage dealer. Take a few seconds to get over that and then fit your ship correctly.
DCU, 2x EANM, 2x 1600 RTs and 3x Trimarks. "OMG no damage mods? Boo hoo hoo."
Your mids can be w/e, but one thing Ravens can do is hit to stupid ranges with a decent alpha. Read: Falcon shooting.
So, 2x ECCM, 2x Sensor Booster, 1x Med Injector, 1x MWD
Highs: 6x CMLs, 2x Large Solace reps.
Drones can be w/e, personally I like Warriors and Valks.
In RR gangs damage is not the primary concern, surviving is, if you fit damage mods because your e-peen can't handle not being on the top of kill mails and then you die because the RR is ineffective...well all your DPS means absolutely nothing.

Because it has a ****load of meds for whatever kind of EWAR.
Sure - the raven isnt the bestest choice for an RR gang that usually focus on armor, but you can plate it, still. It can be a better choice than training for something else or bringing somethign smaller.
Its a small niche, but it does exist, depending on your skillsheet.
