Ships & Modules

Femke, your fit isn't all that good for level 4s. You're placing way too much importance on sustained ehp/s, while sacrificing both burst ehp/s and dps - both figures that make CNR shine in comparison to SNI.

Let's look at the figures:

At full Level V, the above CNR has the following stats: 71664 ehp, 709 dps + drones, sustained 242 and maximum 308 ehp/s, targetting range 93km. Meanwhile, an equally equipped Navy Scorpion has 73574 ehp, 644 dps + drones, sustained 203 and maximum 404 ehp/s, targetting range 112 km and two extra spare slots. Let's be evil and add completely worthless cap rechargers in there - we get to 365 sustained ehp/s for 15 minutes. Or better, let's add just one cap recharger for 275 ehp/s (still more than the CNR above) and add a MJD instead, allowing us to dictate range.

That's of course assuming we even want the web on a cruise missile ship in the first place - since one of the main advantages of a cruise missile ship is its range - lest we may as well fit torpedoes - a target painter is usually a considerably better idea.

As I said on previous page, the main goal while flying a CNR is to squeeze the maximum dps out of its extra launcher. Here's approximately what you want:

Here's what you get: same ehp as the CNR you linked above, only 182 sustained ehp/s, but 721 ehp/s burst (+134% compared to above CNR), 800 dps (+12%) + drones, 121 km targetting range (+30%) and the ability to hit anything cruiser and up for maximum damage at least 90 km out. The downsides are tight fit (you need pretty much all cpu fitting skills, as it has only 21 cpu left or just 4 cpu left if the fourth BCU is T2 rather than CN) and a bit under 3 minutes of cap. Now, you'll say, "3 minutes of cap, are you freaking crazy?!?" No, I'm actually not. I flew this ship with just barely over a minute of cap myself and it performed fine. This ship is all about jumping in, lowering the incoming dps through its firepower while the X-Large does its job, then chilling out while mopping the rest of the room. Further pimping at one's discretion, for about 3 billion total, you can omnitank it fairly well and increase its ehp by another 10k, but at that price, I'd seriously consider one of the pirate ships instead, since most get even more dps.

HOWEVER, I can imagine a new player might be a bit scared to get his brand new shiny navy ship into a level 4 he doesn't know and rely on its cap to sustain him. In that case, I suggest one of two options:
1. get a Navy Scorpion, which has a better tank and is easier to fit <- I stronly encourage this option for someone new to level 4s
2. replace Amplifier or Painter with Cap Booster <- if you want to get used to Raven/CNR, but aren't quite comfortable with it yet


Disclaimer: all figures assume hitting for maximum damage on 0 resist target and no implants or boosters. Implants and resists favor gank fit, as more damage lands through.

very similar to my fit. Except drop one of the rigor rigs for a flare rig. And use an X-large shield booster. My cap only lasts about 1 1/2 minutes but pulsing the booster only when needed it is plenty to last until the incoming DPS is under control. Use precision missiles for anything smaller than a battlecruiser. you will 1 volley most frigs, all destroyers, and even a lot of cruisers. precision and fury cruise missiles seem to apply about the same damage to battlecruisers so no big loss there if you do not switch, while fury missiles make fast work of the Battleships.

There are a few missions when my shields will get low but usually only because I messed up my agro control.

You should probably stop giving fitting advice to people.

How to increase sustained tank a 3 step guide by Yoyodyne Corp.

First, remove undersized booster and replace with appropriate sized one.

Second, procure capacitor regen to use said booster.

Third, remind these people that they are indeed bad at eve.

With the new changes to skills and torpedos/cruises, it is overkill to fit 3 rigors.
Not to mention stacking penalties.
Not to mention that OP wanted more sustained tank, which comes at a cost. On almost every hull. In fact, it's a simple mechanic of eve. Want more dps? Give up tank.

Short of putting more expensive mods (Which i also suggested), that is his only option.

But it's okay. I too can EFT warrior without ever actually using the ships in practice too.
