Missiles might bounce off the atmosphere or burn up in it.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I was going to make the third "My Raven was..." reference, but I am still giggling at this insanity (tactical ammo Raven). It has a certain appeal!

Actually, that's not too far fetched.

If you read the Templar One novel[1], the Amarr developed the Dust 514 super soldier & armor technology. The other races were in a scramble to get ahold of it. So it's conceivable that the Laser Raven is the result of a technology exchange between the Caldari and the Amarr.


[1] I recommend reading it by a fire, preferably a fire started using The Empyrean Age novel as kindling.

Oh, I take it back. Marketing does play, they just get their fits from battleclinic. OF COURSE! It all makes sense.

Funny thing is, When Bashing POCOs in a wormhole one time, I had lasers on a Raven and a Domi so I could afk burn w/o wasting ammo, but didn't have to go buy 2 new BSs lol

Thank you, whoever designed that splash, for reminding players that Raven has unbonused turret slots.

You know, the Raven DOES have a few turret hardpoints, and I can imagine a newblet trying to put some lasers on for planetary bombardment.

My raven was fit with the following. . .
