There is no Tactical Ammo for LAunchers, so improvisation wins the day.

More like "Oh hey, Raven weapon's are lame and boring looking. Let's use flashy lasers!!"


Maybe that's a hint CCP Ugh?

The Raven has lasers?

The Raven is a destroyer?

Those were my two questions.

Conspiracy to turn the Raven into a laser boat, over sized destroyer. You heard it here first Gentlemen.

Clearly the marketing department doesn't play EvE.

Idea


Btw, my original 2003 game box has a Megathron shooting lazers aswell.

Oh I hope this doesnt de-evolve into a 'why no missile planetary bombardment' thread...

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I saw that. A RAVEN firing SMALL-SIZED LAZORS at a ground target.

I understand marketing, and all that, but seriously, guys...

My theory? Miscommunication at CCP HQ.

The Latin term for the Common Raven is Corvus Corax.

The new Caldari Destroyer is the Corax.

Someone probably told the art department: "Have a pic of that raven destroyer shooting down on the planet" and they ran with it.

(Ignore the fact that the Corax is a missile boat.)

What Marketing heard: "Give me a big splash of some Laser-Raven fire on the planet."

Marketing doesn't play the game. They just have a large folder of eve clip-art they splice together.

I've noticed that in most of the trailers, Caldari ships are used in abundance.

Guess they just assume most people would find them cool looking.

Or easiest to identify as the trope human space ship for someone who has never played the game. Just seeing any of the other races doesn't show they are all human. The only time they like to show any other racial ships is with speech or avatars to accompany them. Without Sansha Kuvakei in the incursion trailer, wouldn't it look like powerful alien invasion cliché #1.

Raven has four gun slots, so it's not inconceivable (for most definitions of inconceivable.)
