(e: the above is a fun bit of EVE history - read about it here! )

Seems to look good, but honestly Ravens (and Caldari) aren't my forte. However, skills, skills, skills will improve things considerably, and, what you could try in the meantime, are Rapid Heavy Missile Launchers - lower paper DPS but better application!

It took me a minute to figure out wtf was posted there...
I do remember the other thread though, funny as **** it was

@ Thyphuss

You need Balistic Controls in the bottom. At least 3 imo.
Mids, You could dump 1 of the cap boosters and probably the after burner for now. Mission specific hardners and a target painter will probly work better for you.
Arbalest launchers are just fine until you can fit T2 or afford Navy launchers.

You probably need to top off a lot of skills too. Missile support skills and the BS hull skill make a huge difference.
I might suggest that you do level 3 missions until you get better skills for the Raven. Faster 3's will pay better than slow level 4's.

Also: Insure that ship! Losing your first BS is kind of devastating.

you want caldari battleship to 4, tech 2 bcu's, at least one target painter, and read eve survival to find out which dmg type the rats are most vulnerable too. you could upgrade to a Navy Raven which will increase your dmg and dmg application, also tech 2 fury cruise missiles make a big difference to your dps.

As for your fit maybe upgrade to a pseudo-electron damage control, drop the adaptive invuln field for a target painter, get one of each hardener probably worth it to pay the extra for pith c types because they're quite cheap, then just swap the hardeners for missions depending on what eve survival says incoming dmg will be. I would even drop the cap booster and put in an extra target painter, swap to a pith b large shield booster and just pulse it as needed so you don't cap out.
