I am working on a fit for L4 missions. The current fit is:

-6x CN Cruise
-1x Drone Link
-1x CN XL Shield Booster
-2x Shield Boost Amp I (Going to work in T2 later on)
-3x Mission Specific Hardeners
-3x CN BCU
-3x CFC
-3x CCC Rigs

With this fit, I am not cap stable at all (I have both CC4 and CR4). If I switch out the X-Large shield booster for a large, I can be cap stable. Will the large shield booster work for the harder L4's? I am trying to get by without using cap boosters >.<

unless you're getting a lobotomy sometime soon, missions don't come close to requiring cap stability

You need to make your mind up... Noob fit perma tanked or faction fit rigor using a cap booster.

Reason your not getting cap stability even with SIX capacitor mods, which could be taken down to just ONE capactior mod with space for FIVE mods that could be used for dps or tank, is that you are using that faction XL booster.

If memory serves correct, the faction booster cycles every four seconds compared to the usual five. Meaning your going to need 20-25% more cap regen to get it stable.

T1 Raven is not really the kind of ship you wanna try to make stable AND have any reasonable amount of DPS, it just has too many holes to plug all at once. It can be done, but the best you are gonna get is a 600 racial tank or so, and not nearly enough alpha to take out the incoming DPS in some of the harder L4s. Meaning your tank is gonna give out because you aren't killing the incoming DPS fast enough. I can't remember which mission it is, but if you pull more the entire room somehow you're looking at some 1500 incoming damage, lol. A cap stable Raven is gonna perish quickly in these OSHT circumstances.

Either fit for a burst tank that lasts a few minutes at a time, or ship up to CNR, Golem, Nighthawk, or Tengu, if you are wanting to stay Caldari, that is.

I would almost wager that a T2 fit Drake would outperform a cap stable Raven.

I did have plans to get a CNR asap. I'll admit to being a total noob and had to look up how shield boosters work, but now that i know, cap stable is not my highest priority >.<

The fit I have now will be used for the first time when I get back from class, had to wait on Missile Op V to finish lol

Thanks for the criticism guys! Really! :P

I fly raven with combination of t1 and t2 modules, no rigs. I ended up with unstable cap raven after I lost the other two. I just pulse the shield booster as needed.

Also, your fit is missing afterburner. I do not see you escaping scram npc frigs doing 110 m/s. At least doing 300 m/s I buy myself some time to kill the bastards. If you add afterburner, then you are even less likely to ever have cap stable raven.

A CNR will get you more bang for the isk than the faction BCSes and shield booster. The launchers are pretty nice, assuming you can't fit T2.

Thanks guys. I will just keep the setup (adding the cap booster though) and look into upgrading to a CNR asap! :)

cap stability is dumb, unless you are afk, which is also dumb. A 3xCCC cookie cutter raven should be able to boost for plenty of time to get thru tight spots. You dont need an AB for most missions. What you do need is a target painter. Drone link is nice, but meh who cares, frigs come close to you. I can think of one mission where I like having an AB (haven't done them in a while), and honestly, if speed is your concern then you are going about this all wrong, go get a better ship.

basically, if you want to be like everyone else
-high
6xlauncher
-mid
1xXL booster/super dooper deadspace booster
1xBoost amp
3xHardener
1xTarget Painter
-low
4xBCU
1xWhatever (sig amp/DCU/whatever)
-rig
3xCCC
-drone
5xHobgobs, 5xHammers

Its not the best, fastest, most efficent or whatever, its not cap stable, but it'll do whatever level 4s you want if you are not afk, and are not lacking in skill.

Hey look, I found a perma tanked CNR with three rigors and four BCUs! Guess what the downside is? ;)
