Hi,
I recently started doing lvl4 missions in a raven and so far I love it and I don't have too much troubles with the missions. I got an alt with who I salvage with but I'm starting to think I should train her for missions as well to help me do missions faster.

What I'm asking is suggestion on what to train for to support my main who fly a standard raven fit (cruise long range + small and medium tech2 drones).

I was thinking maybe a domi because my alt got drones, drone interfacing and scout drones at lvl5 + the other drone skills at lvl3-4. Or maybe a raven torpedo close range dps fit or mach but I don't have any skills to fly these right now.

Anyway I'm open to suggestions, thanks in advance!

Train him for Rattlesnake, tank it, launch sentries/havies, shoot cruises and aid your main with energy/shield transfer. Stay away as far from spawns as possible, still at range enabling your fire.

The Domi would only be good if you are paying close attention to your alt, since you will be relying on drones and they tend to get agroed/do stupid things. But if you manage to do it, it's has both good damage and tank.

I actually fly with a Domi as my main, and use an alt with a Raven, for good results. Not saying it's the ultimate choice, but it's works well as long as you don't afk too much.
