Nice tips!

Also, i usually just give my salvage to anyone who wants them in Local lol.

In regards to the ugly ship known as Raven, Would it be a decent stepping stone? Since my alts only need 1 day to use it decently left on the training.

Recommendations regarding this?


I'm all about people finding their own fun in the game, but not using one of those 5 accounts to salvage instead of running 5 Drakes? This just makes my EVE-sense tingle in all the wrong ways.

EDIT: The Raven would be a very notable upgrade from the Drake, and the Navy Raven again after that. I think you'll find more fun in it really blasting those Battleships with 4-5x Raven/Navy Raven.

Think is, i have no patience for salvaging.

I love trying out new ways to make things explode.

I have the largest grin when i see all 30 missiles rise from their launchers and head towards the poor bastard of a target :P

But yeah! Ravens! :D Seems cool!

5 drakes would slaughter level 4's if you're using ISBoxer or similar. Would be kind of hard to micromanage without.

Yeah other combos could do it more efficiently, I.E.less accounts, but 5 drakes would kill stuff so fast that they wouldn't need uber tanks. And the small stuff would die quite easily.

Also, overkill is overkill. 5 of anything is going to overkill small targets. With a Raven I think it would even overkill battleships quite a lot. And 5 ravens would be harder to keep the target raven alive. But it would still be cool.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

Then I would suggest you use something with guns. DPS will be applied faster. Maybe something with rails like a Naga. Arty Nados would be good, but I don't like the 16 seconds between shots.

You sure? Because i have seen a drastic drop in the time it takes to fnish missions with my drakes lol :P

I was actually contemplating maybe 5 tornados, but instead, i will save the money for ravens :P

IF that is your style you should go with railgun boats.
Railguns are flexible enough with kinetic thermal, have a faster rate of fire then artillery and apply instantly.
You should get very nice "pops" with that setup.
I don't think you can get better applied dps then that except for for with sentry ships.
But that seems to not be your intent.

I would consider rails, but i have to train for them, since my alts have NO rail skills at all.

I think it would be better for me toc ontinue with cruise, since they already have lvl 3, and only need 1 more day to fly a raven.

i am guessing with 5 ravens, i don't have to worry much about tank and maybe put more damage mods?
