Torp Launchers in the top. If you have any room after everything else is fitted, try a Neut in your last slot.
Ballistic Controls in the bottom, minimum 3, with a DC II or maybe a Power Diagnostic
Extenders in the mids with an Invuln and maybe an EM Hardner.
ECM drones only. Make them do the work!

Dont worry about a point, (unless you are solo) maybe fit a TP. Let other people do the tackle. You will probably be primary...

Never seen a pvp raven but if I saw one I would totally shoot it first.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

lol this. Try something else first. Using a raven as your first pvp ship is most likely gonna make you hate pvp.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

ive tried a raven for pvp......im lucky to have made it out alive.....trailing smoke and praying to all that is holy.........


its slow to align, be ready before you engage. use an mjd. it and ecm drones saved my a$$. your best bet is torps, at 150km you can have 4 volleys in transit before the 1st hits with cruise missles, thats scary stuff right there. DONT FLY IT SOLO INTO DANGEROUS PLACES.

if i see a raven in losec, im gonna hunt it down and kill it. you put a target on youself immediately when you take a raven into pvp. that said, it make great bait for a small gang.......

kill em all.

Don't use the Raven for PVP. The way missiles/torps work combined with the complete lack of mobility and tank of the Raven makes it a easy target to quickly pop. Try a Typhoon. You can fit launchers if you really wanted to and if you did you wouldn't be a free kill.

Blaster Rokh > Torp raven

















might aswell put that caldari battleship skill to the some good use, but in all honesty try a Caracal first or a frigate its much cheaper when things go wrong

Your about as much use as a condom dispenser in the Vatican.

That said, the proposed changes to the Raven could give it some PvP potential.

Yes and no.

More damage and mid slots = good (especially when large missiles are buffed).

less tank on a ship that is already high on the primary list and will be even higher after the change = bad.

I'm looking forward to the new raven but Imma warp in last about 10 seconds late and hope people don't change targets haha.
