sometimes when i read threads like this i feel i am doing it all wrong as the fits and techniques vary to what i do

i have always used raven or typhoon but now my gun skills are better, the nightmare and machariel kill stuff so quickly its unreal as no waiting for missile travel time.

compared to fits posted, i also seem to overtank. i would usually run dc2, invuln 2, 2 different mission specific hardeners, large shield extender 2 and l or xl booster. it seems to work well and i rarely have to warp out. rest of the mids are dedicated to application. this is for my raven

also fury cruise for bc and bs, precision for anything smaller

@31km/sec, there is effectively no missile travel time... If you have a fit that works well for you, by all means. The Barghest fit I use is based on three passive shield tanks and I rarely (if ever) need to use the remote shield boosters. In fact, with all the Freeport Citadels that have sprung up you can easy tether and get free shield, armor and hull repairs...

I don't understand the rigs on the raven. with just one hydraulic bay thrusters as fit, the missiles fly out to 91km for me, which is 1km farther than the maximum targeting range for the raven without a sensor booster. why would you want 2?

and what is the point of the remote shield booster?

Because you're using auto-targeting missiles with a high rate of fire, the faster the actual missile velocity is (and not range) the fewer lost volleys occur. Auto-targeting missiles do not key off your targeting range; whatever is within range they can hit.

. . . one problem with auto-targeting missiles, is that you lose about a third of your dps; another is that they may hit a trigger before you wanted to.
The auto targeting missiles can travel farther than furies, but that doesn't matter that much.
Auto targeting missiles can be helpful if you get jammed, but I've just waited for the jam to end and then eliminate that NPC. I myself have no use for them.

Arthur used the remote shield booster when he was talking about using more than one character to run missions with.

Always remember Tovil-Toba, and what was done there.

No question, which is why I only advocate their use with 2 or 3 ships (preferable 3). The DPS is fairly abysmal otherwise...
