the other thing that i saw till now is with these combat probes i have "visitors" in my mission places stealing loots from wrecks and practically i cant do anything to prevent this.
in my topic now.... heron still can empty those infoshards from their loot with easy and i wonder i ever find a ghost site in high sec that i live atm , so any exploration ship upgrade atm its not needed.
as for lv 4 missions already we cleared 2 of them with a fellow drake pilot.... very nice to see 752k isk bounties at these BS's Big smile

p.s. we wont try silence the informant lv 4 for sure....


No....you can SIT in a Raven.

To fly a raven you need more then just the skill to be able to board it. As explained above.

You need your tanking skills up enough to be able to properly fit a tank.
You need your missile skills + missile support skills up enough to fit a proper gank on it.
You need general support skills to match a BS sized ship (so good capacitor / PG / CPU skills).

To help make J's point... a corp mate of mine just got a solo kill on a Vindivator last night, with an assault frigate. That is the quintessential pvp pirate battleship. He shouldn't have been able to do it but the pilot in question was young, inexperienced and didn't have the fitting skills or knowledge to stop him. Billions of isk down the drain.

J'Pol, you give sound advice. But do read his next sentence.

OP does have a list of Core, Shield and Missile skills that will be good for what he wants and he is training support skills up. Big smile

Two words: "Oh" and "Dear"...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

almost 5 days later and i'm very close to BS mastery grade 2 , my poor raven already earned me back my investment and continue to "profit" me with good amount of isk from bounties-loot-salvage from lv 4 missions...
it was easier than i thought because of a simple trick Big smile. Large Micro Jump Drive and kill ... kill ... kill.
it really gives a major boost to pve without you have to worry anymore for overtanking issues....its very nice to see those frigs scramblers who survived to approach you at 20 km just to see you jumping again at least 80 km away of them snipe them to death Big smile

p.s. i really need to raise the skill even higher

On having support skills, I have my own experience.

I moved up into an omen the instant it became available thinking I would go back and rule the missions I was doing well, even better.

I took my omen, fited it with medium beams I could barely fit, and absent mindedly stuck one drone in my bay that had room for 3, but I only had drone 1 so one drone it was.

I got a really easy mission, only 4 rats. Took me 45 minutes to kill what I did in 5 minutes in my frigate. And only because I brought that drone. My turrets never hit anything.

But it is a lot easier to train support skills now.

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.
