Ships & Modules

I am recently going into lvl 4 mission sec, and im goign to be using a raven navy issue.

I currently have no idea how to fit it and i need some help

High Slots
- 8x cruise missile launcher

Med slot
- 1 adaptive invul
- 2x specific damage type shield hardner
-1 specific shield hardner
-1 x-l large shield booster
-1 shield boost amp
-1 micro jump drive

Low slots
- 1 damage control
- 4x ballistic control systems

Rigs
- i have no idea what to put on rigs


I was thinking about removing the micro jump drive but i noticed that sometimes i can land on 0 in the mission and that can be bad.

also im aware that i will be controlling my rep cycle which means i need to gain capacitor faster then i need to do 1 cycle of my shield booster.

Please i would appreciate any advice.

Please no trolling i really need help!

Soooo... you have a lot of tank but no damage application mods. I would suggest cutting some of the tank (you don't need too much if you are going to be engaging from range) and slapping on some Target Painters and a Cap Booster.

Something like this...

NOTES:

- The Rigor rigs are there for better damage application against smaller targets.

- You will have to swap out the Sentry Drones depending on the type of NPC you face. Wardens will be effective against pretty much everything except Amarr, Blood Raiders, and Rogue Drones.

- Try not to send out the Light Drones against targets more than 15km from you. They will die very easily if the NPCs primary them.
For the most part, Light Drones will be your primary means of point defense against NPC ships that your missiles will have trouble hitting. So take VERY good care of them.

- If you are taking too much damage for your Shield Booster to soak up, use the MicroJumpdrive to get away.

- In terms of fitting, your biggest issue will be CPU. You can "downgrade" some of the modules (like the Target Painters and Cap Booster) to Meta versions.

- Your range may be an issue. While the missiles can hit out to ~200+ kms you can only target stuff out to ~93 kms. So you may have to move around a little bit after you MJD.

Honestly I am trying to avoid cap boosters, anyway the fit looks great I'll consider it

Argh. Rigors and Flares have nothing to do with speed. Here are the missile damage formulas.

The first formula compares Explosion Radius against target sig radius. Only Rigors affect this.

The 2nd formula multiplies Target Sig / Explosion Radius * Explosion Velocity / Target Velocity. Both Rigors and Flares affect this. Furthermore since everything is multiplied, we really have:
S/E * Ve/Vt * 1 / (1-rigor bonus) * (1+flare bonus)
Thus Rigors and Flares are applied to both sig and speed in the 2nd missile formula.

The 2nd formula normally eclipses the 1st formula, so you can almost always ignore the fact that Flares have no impact on the first missile formula. (However, an exception would be when you're shooting at a very slow or stationary target with oversized missiles.)

In the context of the 2nd formula, a 15% Flare provides a 1 + .15 = 1.15 multiplier while a 15% Rigor provides a 1 / (1-.15) = 1.176 multiplier.


Correct. Unless you're shooting stationary targets with oversized missiles, Rigor II > Flare II > Rigor I > Flare I because
* Rigor II provides a 1 / (1-.2) = 1.25 bonus,
* Flare II provides a 1 + .2 = 1.20 bonus,
* Rigor I provides a 1 / (1 - .15) = 1.176 bonus
* Flare I provides a 1 + .15 = 1.15 bonus.

I will be using a pith x x-l which gives me roughly estimate of 1k per cycle so I might not need the shield amp

I do 3x rigor rigs on my ravens.

If you plan on looting and salvaging, consider using Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU) (about 5-6 mil) and a hand of salvage drones.

This is my CNR fit. the 3 target painters are probably excessive, but I haven't played with the damage formula enough to really know (also I will add I haven't flown my cnr in long enough to really know) probably best to drop one for an extra hardener, or prop mod. And if you are just starting out a MJD is a good choice for prop mod as it can get you out of trouble. In general I suggest limited use of MJDs as in many cases they reduce performance. however in some cases a MJD makes things go much quicker. something you will either learn on your own or learn from others.

change the drones to fit the mission. I like the sentries as they can instantly swap between targets I'm hitting, and can be useful in finishing NPCS off that my missiles leave in low structure. plus they can kill most npc frigs on approach.

and don't forget the hardwires I fly with these in 5% variations. buy whatever you can afford, 3% implants aren't all that expensive.
CM-6
MP-7
GP-8
TN-9
RL-10

I usually carry t2 fury ammo for most targets, and some caldari navy ammo for the elite cruisers. some auto-targeting missiles can be nice too. some missions I will MJD and just use auto-targeting missiles

Hobgoblin II x5
Garde II x3

eccm could be worth something if you're doing guristas a lot.

I use 3 Ballistic Controls and 2 Power Diagnostics II in my lows.
The Power Diagnostics x2 give me:
10% more shield hit points
17% faster shield recharge rate
10% more capacitor
17% faster capacitor recharge rate
12% more power grid

No Stacking penalty on this mod and the difference in tank is huge.
Caldari Navy version would do even better.
