Look at all of the self-righteous sheeple bleating "Don't mix weapons, baah, don't mix weapons!" What the hell else are you going to put there that could be use to a cruise Raven? A NOS? A tractor beam? A DLA? Jesus. And it's not as if the OP is mixing *main* weapons systens, either.


If he fitted a couple of autocannons there, it wouldn't be terrible. It's just pointless fitting a couple of cap using lasers on there when the OP doesn't really have the skills to fly the ship properly in the first place.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I know it's a lot, but if you don't get around 30 mil/h (including LP) in level 4 missions


How can you make around 30 mil/h ????

That's fairly simple to do TBH. It's all about efficiency and your skills. Know the missions (i.e. triggers, spawns, etc...) and have the proper skills/fit to maximize your output in whatever you're flying.

Where you're missioning is also a notable factor.

High Sec: Less risk of gank, but also lower mission rewards (isk and LP). In high sec, your best bet is to pick a spot with a large number of L4 security agents in close proximity to one another. Be selective in terms of which missions you run. With 4+ agents, you will almost always have one of them pop something decent. Do the best mission available and full clear it (bounties + loot/salvage). That entire process should take less than an hour and will likely net you in the neighborhood of 30M isk for your efforts.

Low/Null Sec: Blitz. With isk and LP rewards higher from agents in lower security space, you are better served blitzing everything. Focus fire on triggers to unlock gates. Focus down the mission completion targets and then GTFO. You will often need a fairly powerful tank in order to take the incoming DPS while you focus on completion targets/triggers. This is simply a matter of reading missions reports and fitting properly.

Social Skills V and good skills, to deliver 800+ DPS, knowing when to blitz, or how.

You can do 3-6 Missions per hour, also decline the ones that take to long and get bad rewards.

Every 16 Missions or so, you get a storyline, which if you're lucky, means that you instantly get an implant.



Considering I do 3 average Missions in a 0.5 - 0.6 system:


15000 LP
Bounty: 15-20 mil

Even with a bad conversion of 1000 ISK / LP you will get around 30-35 mil per hour.

If you are really fast and can convert the LP at a 2000 to 1 ratio, 60 mil avg is no Problem in highsec at all.

The reason I am hesitant to do L4's in my Drake is that it is passive tanked - I dont have a "panic button" like the Cap booster/shield booster solution. Don't know if this really makes a difference when playing, but in my mind it does.

With a drake you don't need a "panic button". The shields will SLOWLY go down and you can at your leisure warp away. With a Raven your shields will go down quickly and if you run out of cap you will die quickly. I won't try to talk you out of a Raven if you really have your heart set on a raven then by all means go with it.

I would recommend you have decent shield tanking, drone and missile skills but that is a choice you will have to make.

If you're doing level 3's that have mostly frigates the cruise missiles will suck. Maybe fit a target painter? I've never tried a level 3 in a battleship.

Good luck!
