Missions & Complexes

So I bought raven and I started do lvl 4 missions... And I can do all of them but it takes me way to much time... And also I calculated that after salvaging I earn up to 10-15mil per h... (Sometimes even lower if I got some easy missions).

I have 4,5 mil SP (all in combat)... I can tank most of mission without warping out but I really kill slow...
I have : 6x arbalest launchers
1x X-Large shield booster I 1x Large shield amplifier I 4x Hardeners II
3x BCS II 2x Capacitor Flux I
5x Hobgoblin II

Skils: Link
So what should I do to start doing lvl4 missions faster?

there are a lot of good fits available simply by typing "level 4 mission raven" in the search box of Google.com. i'm fairly certain that you can look through the fits and you will learn how to increase your output.

However...... with only 4.5m skill points you will find yourself establishing goals. First and foremost will probably be to get Ballistic Control Systems trained to tech 2 unless you'd rather get the Caldari Ballistic Systems instead. Both items will require the weapons upgrades skill. BCS Modules will increase your damage output.

You can try and download Evemon which is a 3rd party tool that will show you a vast database of items and ships available to you in the game. In evemon, when you look at the ships you will notice on the bottom right of the application window that says "required skills" and above that you will also notice "Recommended certificates." The Recommended Certificates will enable you to further increase the usability of the Raven.

All above stated, You will also notice that the standard Raven has 6 high slots available for launchers. The Raven Navy Issue will have 7 Launcher slots available to you for increased damage. All in All the navy raven is a great cruise missile boat. Which is a good goal to shoot for yourself.

Lastly, but not least, you really shouldn't have 2 shield boosters on your fit, over-over tanking will lower your damage output to an extreme amount. You will find it necessary to micromanage your modules for certain tasks.

Please do message me ingame if you have further questions, I've flown the CNR (navy raven) for a good while and will help you out the best I can. Nothing quite like learning how to pop cruisers with just 1 or 2 volleys of Cruise missiles. =)

ah I must have misread your fit, my apologies.

Raven uses different weapon system, cruise missiles. If you want to stay focused, concentrate on the heavy missiles and other skills for Drake/Tengu, ignore cruise missiles and Caldari Battleship skill. Training BS skill from 4 to 5 takes about 30 days.

If you do not mind extra month or two of training, train Raven and cruise missiles in addition to what you need for Tengu.

I would say train for mach/Nightmare, but if you really want to have an awesome CNR, use a Gist C-Type Xl shield booster, train your missile related skills and put in as much damage as possible.

My fit looked like:

7x T2 Cruise launchers,
Gist C-type XL-Booster,
1x T2 invul
2x Caldari navy mission specific hardners
1x RF TP
1x DG shieldboost-amp
4x Caldari Navy balistic control
1x DMG Control II

Rigs were 2 rigors and 1 flare - rigors were T2 iirc.

Cleared everything with ease, and puts out ~700 dps with drones and just T1 Ammo.

That tank is overkill, and frankly may very well be a waste of isk. I'm rolling over L4's with nothing more than this in mids.

Adaptive Invul II
Mission Specific II
Mission Specific II
Shield Boost II
XL Shield Booster II
Cap Boost II

It does fine, as long as I dont go full ****** with my pulls.

missile ships naturally have low DPS and high tank. For newer players it allows them to get into higher level missions faster, but not run them faster ;)

If you want to run the missions quickly I would suggest a heavy DPS gun-boat, most can get up to 1000 paper dps with level 4 skills where missiles tend to cap out at around 750 with max skills.

I fly a Raven and a Dominix (separate characters), and, although from what I've read most people feel (Navy) Raven is the overall best mission runner, I vastly prefer my Dominix. While the ability to switch damage type anytime is indeed nice, my Gardes alone on the Dominix easily out-DPS the Raven's missiles, and that's without taking into consideration the fact that sentries instapop any frigate. Bottom line is, Raven's DPS is nothing to write home about, so don't expect the missions to be very fast. As a secondary thing, you cannot really play semi-afk in a standard Raven, which is another problem.

On another note, you don't need 4 shield hardeners, 3 should suffice for anything, put another shield booster amp there instead, and I hope by 'salvaging' you mean in a Noctis, cause otherwise you're probably wasting your time, unless you're getting lots of Mercenary missions which are pretty much always worth looting.

If I were you I'd look into running missions for Minmatar space corps, you're naturally resistant to those rats and you'll be able to equip some more damage perhaps (also they have very low defender missile chance). In general, I don' t see the point of gimping yourself by running missions in Caldari space if you're flying a ship that doesn't have a damage type preference.
