There was a time when armor tanked Ravens were seen often. These were days of the sensor damps. I was playin around a bit with this approach. Your thoughts?

If you're able to maneuver that ridiculously slow thing into range, you might as well use a blaster Megathron for more damage and a bigger tank.

For the cost of one of these you could probably afford to use a Navy Scorp / Raven instead.

Ofc there are "better" ships but the approach was to bring something that one wouldnt expect. So...

The only thing good about a torp raven is the capacity of "kitting" Close range bricks like the meg or the Rokh, thanks to the superior torp range.

With such a brick, you just lose your only advantadge against other short range BS.

Also, if you are in web range, any blaster or AC boat will **** you. Hard. If you are shooting something with torps, it should be so slow than webs are not needed.

Also, without BS the torp damage is equal than a manticore, with just 200 more million ISK cost.

Not cost effective at all...

Your armor tank SUCKS!!

1 plate? Forget it..

If you want a decent tank use 2 plates, 2 eanm and a damage control... If you feel vulnerable to explosive damage use a rig slot.
The damage control MIGHT be switched for something else but the Raven is already super fragile.

I used to be very partial to the Nano MWD Torp Raven. Solid brick tank, good speed for a BS and very respectable damage.

TP x2

BCU x3

2x Extender Rigs
1x Rigor

Have your gang/fleet engage, then warp in a couple of these girls at 10-20 km about 15 seconds later. Watch **** die. And all for the reasonable price tag of 200M.

There's a number of variants out there, but this is the one I always used.

It's better at a long range support damage ship. What you have seems like it would work, but part of the problem is that there are no long range PvP modules (with some kind of trade off). It's a static part of most PvP fights (unless you have a special ship).
