Originally by: Draulin It all depends on your skills. I had better luck with a BS in L3s, and run a Drake in L4s. Try it!
/sigh....
aka no, just don't do it, don't even try it. |

Originally by: Noemi Nagano First of all, XR-3200 launchers are MUCH worse than t2 HML with good spec-skills and/or t2 Fury-Missiles. You will see the difference when you try to do some damage on BS with a Drake.
The Raven is a good l4-ship, a very well skilled Drake with t2-HML will be not much worse in many missions though, esp. when the enemy is not having many BS but much small stuff and kinetic is the best or second best damage-type. In all other scenarios a Drake will be slower than a Raven though.
Be prepared, the Raven needs much more skills than the Drake to perform well. Others in this thread have pointed out good fittings and skill-suggestions.
right but taking ~15 days to train up heavy missiles 5 is 15 days you aren't training for a raven, and from good drake to raven shouldn't take much more then that 15 days.
missiles to 5 (should already be at 4) cruise missiles to 4 (from scratch) energy management to 4 (between this and energy systems operations, you probably have a few levels of one or both) energy systems operations to 5 (see above) shield compensation to 4 (might have trained this at one point, if not it is only rank 2) caldari bs 4
and well the rest you can continue training as you are doing level 4s in a raven. (I did say a good drake implying you already had most shield skills to 4, can use t2 bcus, have some missile support skills, and had t2 light drones)
now I don't remember level 3s being all that good for isk, although it could be because I was blitzing the hell out of them going for 5.0 faction standings, trying out amarr ships, and starting an alt. but between refining your drake skills and learning the raven skills you should have enough isk to buy a raven + fittings. and then be able to jump into level 4s and do quite well. |

Originally by: Omar Khayyam you are really making lvl4 mission a big deal but they are not. they are just easy to do with a raven. for newbies, there are setups that you can perma run your x-large shield booster in battleclinic. i recommend you to use this setup until you feel familiar with missions. sure dps sucks but its better than losing your ship.
also note that, drake is really good in lvl4 missions. (with tech2 heavy launchers and always use t2 missiles)
bleh, if you are going to do it that way you might as well stick to the drake
