Yeah I tried it with my raven loaded up for killing a guristas 750k battleship (raven).
First time I had my regular cruise launcher setup and tanked for good damage. Had some cargo expanders to fit the loot and the missiles in. Needless to say I got wtfpwnd there.
So the other day I tried it again only this time my setup looked like this:
6 siege launchers (no money for better launchers) 2 250mm prototypes (cant use large hybrids yet)
1 xl shield booster, 1 shield boost amplifier, 3 dread guristas 40% hardners (right tanking stuff), 1 lif afterburner
1 crosslinked bolt array 4 power diagnostic systems (not the basics but not really better than that ether)
I used EM torps and had a bunch of explosives in my cargo.
Now it went a little bit like this:
Warp in; Shoot everything that comes close while moving away from the BS BS start shooting torps like it are rockets (every second one torp launches !!) I kick in my afterburner to outrun the torps, fortunatly my raven outruns them =) I start shooting the BS since I want to kill it. 150 EM torps; 150 km; and countless enemy "wooshes" later I am still shooting his shield down while he keeps spamming torps and turns arround. I reached the boundries of the deadspace pocket.
I look back and I got a 75 km trail of torps behind me starting from the ravens location !!
How on earth am I ever going to defeat that raven?
(For the record, that raven did 250 damage per torpedo with a torpedo impacting every second. Warped out with 5% hull left =( ) Seriously Have I Not Said How I Can Assist Some One You Are Killing Online? |

Nah, you really didn't.

You might want to check resistances.
Knowledge = power.

did that level easy peasy in my geddon, jusdt killed everything else and left the raven until last, then set 8 wasps on it and shiot it with mega pulse, was actaully an awfull lot easier than i exspected NOTE:- i did make sure to get out of the sentry range fairly quick tho, after that was easy to tank him.

For Gurista use Juggernaut Torps, easy to kill the 750k Raven

You can solo a lvl 4 extravaganza in a raven with basic gear. If you are having trouble with a lvl 3 ganza, you might aswell put some miner I's on it.

with kinetic hardeners you should be fine...
I do level 4s in an Apoc and with 3 Kinetic Hardeners i can manage the odd mission which includes 5 Pith Destroyers at once with out tanking issues at all.

Edited by: VaderDSL on 10/03/2005 14:59:18 Edited by: VaderDSL on 10/03/2005 14:58:55 Just completed my first full level 3 extravaganza, I'm not experienced enough yet to take on level 4's
But the final 750K raven posed no threat at all, I took out the webifier first, and tanked the damage from the Raven (142 damage per torp it did - I have 77% kinetic resistance)
Took a fair few torps, but I went down to about 68% shield, used my converse XL booster a few time to keep it above 50% though.
Need to get the remainder of my shield skills up to lvl 5 now, theyre all on lvl 4 atm
P.S Ship setup - raven
6 X Standard Siege Launchers
1 XL Converse Shield Booster 1 Shield Boost Amp 2 Named Thermal/Kinetic 50% shield hardeners 2 Named Tech 2 Passive Thermal/Kinetic 37.5% shield resistance amplifiers
4 Power Diagnostic System 2 1 Ballistic Control Unit

Ferox kills it in about 3 reloads of turret ammo (AM)
4x 250mm (2coils/2proto) w/AM 2x named heavy launchers (scourge) 1x Arbi Rocket w/defenders
2x kinetic hardners 1x T2 10mn AB 1x Optical Computer 1x T2 Med Shield Booster
1x T2 damage mod 1x T2 tracking enhancer 1x Cap Relay 1x PDU (could put anything here.. another dmg mod maybe)
1x Wasp 2x Vespa 1x Hornet
(its weakest vs kinetic)
-28km Opt with the AM. Clear the main spawn & sentries then orbit the raven at 30km. Wait till the raven crys Uncle, then snap its neck.

i do the level 3 in my harpy with no problems except the bonus level, i tried it once but everything aggro'd me as soon as i warped in.. so i left and havent messed with it since.
has anyone here done the bonus in a harpy? is it normal for everything in the bonus stage to aggro you at once or did i mess up?

Against guristas in a raven if you want to be safe you need
3 ballistic hardeners and 1 thermal..
the 2 250 mm rail are a waist of time.
you use your torpedoes on each type of ships as such..
tech 0ne frigate ..3 torps tech 2 frigate . one salvo blackbird ..one salvo Caracal ..one salvo Moa .. 2 salvo
Bs..until its dead..:)
so you keep your launchers synchronized..much easier that way..

usually they all aggro for the most part..
i know you can tank the 2 scorps pairs in the the l4 blockade mission with a harpy. need blasters to break the tank on'em tho.. trying to tank 3 is hairy... make sure you have tactical shield skill up to at least 4 tho.. cause if you take a torp hit at 30-35% shields with level 3 skill.. it punches through and causes you to scream all sorts of obscenities..
havent tried the 'ganza 6th level in a harp yet.. --- |

I always use 2 thermal 2 kinetic against Guristas without any Problems. I never found a frigate that can take the damage of more than 4 torps, so don't use a full volley. You are faster if you use: agains small friggs (up to 15k bounty) 2 torps friggs up to webbifier or Kyokan 3 torps mercenary wingmen needs 4 torps to die (so with 2 volleys you can kill 3 wingmen)
Terrorists or the blackbirds: 1 Volley Moa with up to 90k Bounty: 9 torps (so again you can kill 2 ships with only 3 volleys instead of 4) Moa with 100k (Silencer i think) 10 Torps Moa with 110k or more (Eraser, Spy) 2 volleys
Bounty related to normal Gurista bounty. Dread pithum Silencer needs also only 10 Torps but has more Bounty on his head (they make more damage).
Extinguisher needs 6 Volleys (if you fire without reload) Destroyer needs 7 - 8 volleys (---------"------------) Conquistator needs around 10 volleys (---------"------------) Usurper needs 11 - 13 volleys (---------"------------) Massacre needs some araound 20 volleys
That's my need with Raven skilled to level 3, Torpedos also skilled to level 3.

Using a BS in this mission is an overkill. A Battle Cruiser or Elite Cruiser is more suitable and challenging.
My Strategy is this: 1. Keep distance of 25-35km from NPC Raven. (Use farther distance if your all engineering/shield skills are not maxed out). 2. Kill the Missile Sentries first (Takes only 3-4 torps for each missile silo). 3. Kill the NPC's w/ webi-statis mods 2nd. 4. Kill all remaining ships, leaving the Raven last. 5. Head straight for the NPC Raven with all launchers set to auto-repeat set in sequential firing solution order of EM dmg torp, Heat dmg torp, Kinetic dmg torp, Explosive dmg torp. Raven will die in less than 72-75 seconds guranteed.
I hope this helps.

If you say, using a battle ship is overkill, can you explain how you can fire torpedos then? I neither can fit torpedos on my Eagle nor on my Cerberus, and Ferox does not use it too...
