I am a player currently in a Wormhole Corp with a static C4, my SP is just reaching 4million and i want to start clearing some of those sites. I am mainly a Caldari Missile Pilot and was looking at the raven. Is it possible to solo C4's with a Raven? And what would be my fitting? I have looked over numerous fittings on Battleclinic but i haven't really seen any of them that stand out to me.

A raven will not really be able to clear sites solo. You'd need a to or we'll fit and we'll flown faction/to cruiser to solo a c4. With only 4 million sp under your belt, your best bet is to fly with another person or two to clear out sites.

This will only end poorly if done solo.

At your current SP you should be taking a harder look at c1-c3 sites rather than c4. If you have a decent group supporting you, then c4 sites could be possible.

With all the warping out you will do you will most likely make more ISK clearing and mining gas sites (which isn't bad ISK to be honest, I did this when I first started in wormholes).

Of course you can always pimp it like crazy and it could work. Until someone comes in and ganks you.

Best bet for true solo C4s is Marauder or a super tanky T3 (Tengu). Maybe a Rattlesnake? All of which sound out of reach for a 4 million SP pilot.

You probably shouldn't be trying to solo end game PVE content in your first 3 months of EVE...

Trust me on this, a Raven will only get beat to hell and back in c4 sites. I only ran one, and my Tengu buddies were none too happy about my constant shield broadcasts.

Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It is beautiful. http://thegreattichim.wordpress.com/

A Raven with good skills can run C4 sites, but it needs to be cap injected and requires some support to keep running. But it can effectively solo C4 sites.

The only t1 ship I can see solo in c4 sites might be a pimped out rattlesnake.

Edit: actually carriers are t1 so yes, those too

you could probably pimp fit just about any above bc class t1 ship and be able to run c4 sites,you are probably better off getting a domi and a friend in a domi and running them with him though.

With the right fit, a snipe Moros, Rev, or Nag would definitely work.

Edit: Just fit one stab you can warp around the anomaly when the sleepers get under your guns.

All jokes aside, both the Raven Navy Issue and Scorpion Navy Issue can be set up to do the PvE job solo in a C4 with cruises. But my advice is train toward a Tengu first, then the battleships. Or else set your sights a bit lower: if you want to stick with T1 stuff, tanking-bonused ships tend to work just fine for C3 anomalies where the expectation is only about 700DPS of tank in a battleship hull, and less for smaller hulls. In contrast to C4 anomalies, where one of the sites hits you for about 1400DPS until you take down the first Sleeper battleship...

Don't try to solo C4 anoms in t1 subcaps. It's horrible ISK/H.

Get friends, run a batch with them, and spend the rest of your time hunting in the name of Glorious Bob.

Bob is always present, watching you traverse space accessable only though wormholes. He is the constant reminder that there is always someone watching you, waiting for your moment of weakness to appear and claim his toll for collecting the bounty of his realm.

Then for C3's which t1 ship would be the fastest? (If i can't do C4's i might as well do C3's) I have been doing C3's in a drake and was thinking of moving up to the raven, would this be a smart choice?

You can use any T1 BS to solo C4 if you have scimi as well.
