Hi Everyone,

I would appreciate some constructive feedback on the Raven below. A few things to keep in mind please:


  • I am an Industrial Player - around 13M SP - I munch on roids and make isk.
  • I am not maxed in the areas of Engineering and Electronics etc. I am in the process of setting up a skill que to train these to a proper level.
  • I am using a Drake set up right now, but I would really like to move into a BS. Raven seems like a good start seeing as I can fly it and the Rokh as well.
  • The Purpose of this ship will be for PvE - I want to run Drone Herds, Squads, Patrols.
  • Keep in mind my knowledge in this area is very limited, so my set up is not going to be near perfect or optimal. That's why I'm here....


Raven: Standard
DPS: 403 from Weapons and Drones
Shields: 65.4K EHP - 20.3K HP || Recharge rate 120 HP/S - EHP and 37.4 HP || Resists are 57.1/65.7/74.3/78.6
CPU - 722.4/875
PowerGrid 10.9/111.4
Capacitor Stable at 55.8%

1 - never passive tank a BS without bonuses unless u have to. Do you have to?
1.1. If u switch to active ull have 2 free mid slot - TP is recomended, drones arent biggest targets out there.
2 - omnitank for missions/ratting = fail. (usually) even for drones you will want rather explo+kin in there.
3 - Put 2 small turrets in there, this will let you change to 3 large drones.
4 - PDR in empty slot if nothing more comes to mind.

Anyway those are my 2c.

^ Do this. Trying to passive tank a Raven is a recipe for disaster. Save that for the Drake. Also, more invulnerability fields is not best for PvE. As above, use type-specific hardeners matching the types of rats you will be shooting. For drones I would recommend an EM and a Thermal hardener.

My Raven fit matches the above almost exactly, with the exception of CCC rigs. (Used to be a passive cap recharge setup that got swapped once I realized it wasn't as good as a CAP boosted tank with better resists.)

Thank you everyone for your input. I've started researching some of the skills needed to operate that set up better and in about 5 days 19 hours I should be flying that thing. :) *cheers*
