Hello space friends.

I am a null sec pilot with Racial Battleship V, and I am looking at the possibility of making a bait ship which can also throw out a lot of damage on unwary targets mistaking it for a ratter. The obvious choice for me is the Navy Raven, because it is a misshapen bird thing, and misshapen bird things are very near the top of my list with regards to preferred ship designs. I am of the opinion that the seven launcher hardpoints and the capacity for a respectable shield tank will allow for a durable and hard-hitting gank boat, and that the same attributes can be turned towards baiting.

I would like to hear stories, peruse fittings, and in general talk about the Navy Raven as used in creative PVP endeavours.

Cheers!

Rocket Raven with lots of ECM and armor tank. Works every time for my level 1 missions.

I don't know to be honest. I've never considered using it this way. I suppose you could go with torps, but you'd only be able to hit BS or BC with bloated sigs. Anything smaller would give you issues. I figure this would suffer the same drawbacks as a regular Raven. It's just a little tougher with more DPS.

I'd go with more of a torp fitting. Make sure you fit target painters on though. At least 2. Raven can be fairly scary up close.

best bait setup i ever saw was a bud who flew a raven/falcon combo... that thing killed so many vegas back in the day...

Stop having excellent thread titles, Lyris. You're making me jealous.

If it's a bait ship you're after, a navy scorp is a far better option, the navy ravens tank is pretty feeble if you start compromising the tank by fitting important stuff like tackle, prop mod and damage mods.

Sadly though it's less misshapen and allot less likely to be mistaken for a ratter, but the CNR would likely die before friends turned up.
