Hi. I am currently running lvl 3's in a passive drake with absolutely no problems. I am waiting on money (need 100mil more) and like 4 skills to get a raven and move up to lvl 4's. I have been surfing the forums for a LONG time, and after playing with EFT i have some up with three viable lvl 4 fits, and i want to see which ones the best.  They are as follows: Active Raven XL Highs:6 Malkuth cruise missile launchers, 1 Heavy diminishing Power drain, 1 drone link augumentator Med's: 1 XL Shield booster II, 1 Shield Boost AMP II, 1 Med cap booster II with 800 charges, 3 mission spec hardeners II Lows: 4 Cap Flux Coil II, 1 BCU II. Rigs: 3 CCC's Drones: 5 hammerheads EFT Stats: 55k ehp, 879/879 defence for guristas, cap stable at 48% Active Raven L Highs:6 Malkuth cruise missile launchers, 1 Heavy diminishing Power drain, 1 drone link augumentator Meds: 1 large Shield booster II,1 Shield Boost AMP II, I large Shield extender II, 3 Mission spec hardeners II Lows: 4 Cap Flux Coul II, 1 BCU II. Rigs: 3 CCC's Drones: 5 hammerheads EFT Stats: 70k ehp, 478/478 defence for guristas,cap stable at 52% Passive Raven (dont laugh until you see the specs, there better than the Active Raven with large shield boooster.) Highs: 6 Malkuth cruise missile launchers, 1 Heavy diminishing Power drain, 1 drone link augumentator Meds: 4 large shield Extender II, 2 mission spec hardeners II Lows: 5 Shield Power Relays II Rigs: 3 Core defence field purgers Drones: 5 hammerheads EFT stats: 80k ehp, 558/558 defence for guristas, cap stable at 100% I am fairly close to having the skills for all three setups (about 2 weeks)ans they all cost about 150 mill. Feel free to post alternate setups if you think they are better than what i have. Also, please note that i use guristas as a defauld enemy, dealing 75% kinetic and 25% thermal. These numbers stay about the same for most enemies, and i change my hardeners accordingly. Thanks |

Obviously swap the hardners for the mission type. If your missile skills are poo, drop the amp or one of the hardners for a painter.
Try and get your fit as close to that as you can.

Oh and does anyone have an opinion on an active vs passive raven? it seems to me that 80k ehp is A LOT better than 55k....... |

No, do not passive tank the raven. lol. Once you get more familiar with the missions, raven, and provided you're using eve-survival.com, once you get to Caldari BS 4, you might want to think about getting a CNR. They're dirt cheap compared to what they used to be.
Basically use the same setup for the most part. I run a Dual Small Pithi B Shield Booster setup, only mission I've had problems with in it was Enemies Abound 5/5. |

I do use Eve survival. I also have looked at the CNR, but i felt that it was a bit too far from my current price range (this raven stretches it)and i also do not have a strong understanding of the Contract system in EVE. i probably should get on that i guess sinve ive been playing EVE for 32 days..... |

That is a nice setup for damage dealing, but until i feel comfortabel taking on level fours i think a heftier tank is necessary. i dont know if i can handle only having 7500 shield (my drake had 13000 and before that my caracal had 10000) and 180/180 defence and i certainly dont have the skills to permarun that setup. Again, as i become more comfortable with tanking lvl 4's i will be able to sacrifice a tank for damage output but for now the priority is tank.  |

Something you may want to consder in your setups - First of all, DO NOT, repeat DO NOT passive-tank a Raven, or any other battleship for that matter. The reason that passive tanking works on BCs and lesser is that their native shield regen is fast - 5-600 secs, that can be dropped down into the high 100s with the right modules. Can't do that on a BS - the shield regen is just too slow, especially for the damage output of L4s. That's why most L4 tanks you see around are active - even with the threat of neuts (why a lot of setups carry cap injectors). There's just not enough passive regen. Secondly, remember to a extent gank = tank, the faster you take out the incoming the less you have to tank. Thirdly, remember if you're worried about tanking, damage you resist is damage you don't take. To that effect, remember that Damage Controls do NOT stack with other resistance mods, and can give a big boost to resists since they do NOT have a stacking penalty - in effect, they take it off the top, Dual Pithi setups (two Pithi B-Type Small Boosters plus a SHield Boost Amplifier II) are decent low-skill active tank setups - while they don't have the resists of a XL or L setup, the capability to permarun one booster while pulsing the other can make shield management easier - ESPECIALLY with a DC II in the lows. With excellent skills, you can drop the shield boost amp and fit a PWNAGE for even more gank. Their only limit is cost - Pithi B-Types being roughly 40 mil per on contract. Anyway, that's some thoughts for you - what you do with 'em is, of cource, your choice. |

You're going about this the wrong way, don't waste your time with a cap booster, you'll just run out of changes before the mission is complete.
The key to using a Raven with an XL booster is to actively tap on/off the booster, and repair your shields as you go, not to try and perma run it. Drop the cap booster and add another hardener.
I used this set up pre-QR, it should be still good if that's what you're looking for.

will the cap recharge in time for me to re activate teh booster when i need it? that was my biggest worry when considering pulsing the booster. if i only have 7500 shield will that be enough of a buffer to let my cap regen if im takin hits from battleships plus multiple other ships? |

There are some named bs in missions whose tank that fit will not come close to cracking.
1 BCU is not enough, malkuth cruise also not enough IMO.
Even if you need to warp out once and awhile, fit more dps. 2-3 BCU II. And use Cruise II if you can. Also keep high dmg T2 cruise in your hold for missions with powerful named bs that need to be killed (2 I know of, cant think of missions off hand, with heavy tank bs as the last target for mission complete).
My skills are probably better and im not in empire anymore, but my mission raven was as follows
6 cruise II
best named XL booster, boost amp or painter, 4 rat specific hards]
3 bcuII 2 pduII. visa versa the numbers for hardest missions, or make it 2/2 and add a dcu II.
5 light and 5 med drones, or just 7 med since they seem to work just fine even on mission inties.
edit: I see the setup here is already posted. Its pretty much hands down the best.
Keep in mind some L4s are almost or all frigs cruisers and bc, in such cases drake or cerb will clear them much faster.
Even the above setup all T2 took almost 20 minutes to crack the tank of a named bs rat at the end of a long multistage mission once or twice.
edit2: at your skills you will do better isk/hour 2 manning level 4's with a friend. Have them in a BC with an uber passive tank and take out small targets while you take out bs in your setup (modified for much more dmg), and then you can work together to take down heavy tanks. When your done one of u can go in an indy and loot all the mods while the other goes in a destroyer or hurricane for salvaging. You can quickly wipe up a mission, turn it in, loot and salvage, and move on. |

If you are going to insist on that setup (overcapped IMHO), lost the shield power relays and fit flux coils. Reason being that CPRs nerf your SHIELD BOOST, pretty much removing your booster usage if you have enough of ';em fitted. Most effective use of a active tank is it's on-demand boosting - providing you're not getting neuted, of course - always remember to take out hte neuts first. Permaboost setups should be looked at as temporary ONLY - as you get more comfortable wiht ative tanking,. you can reduce or eliminate the permaboost setup in favor of a pulsed setup. You'll get more gank, which means you run missions more effectively, which means more ISK/hour. Either way, enjoy the game. |

You can in fact passive tank a Raven or Rokh, your damage will just suck for it. |

Here are the passive ones in case you want to try out passive tanking. First uses torpedoes instead of cruise launchers. For the second setup(cruise), you'll need BCS's on lows, which cuts down on your tank. I'm not saying these setups are superior...they are just different.

You should have at least 2x BCS IIs in lows. If you have laggy internet conection, consider using permarun setup like this:

there are lots of various setups - all depends on your skills. If your skills sucks, use cap flux coils instead of PDS.
If you have reliable internet conection, use XL-booster with pulses only (it eats same cap as LSB, but it is harder to fit). You can also consider dual pithi B-type small shield boosters (they are cheap and effective).
XL-booster example:
[Raven, Ratting cruise]

Also consider using faction ammo and definitelly be ready to loose your ship (insure it).
But again: don't passive tank it - permarun active is always better and really good tanking setups are active. IMOHO one of the best mod to fit on your raven is Pithum A-type medium shield booster - but it is rather expensive.
Fly safe!

The suggestion to use a Drake is a very good idea. You can get used to running lvl 4 missions in a ship that is easy to tank, and with the latest missile nerf, actually can do them in near the same time as a standard Raven. Low SP Ravens don't have good DPS unless you fit a painter, and if you do, you end up with a weak tank. There is a reason why people say use a CNR. The above fit given to you as the standard Drake setup is a very good lvl 4 fit, I used that fit for a long time, without any problems except against that 2.5 million bounty boss (forgot her name ).  |

What's wrong with t2 cruise missiles? Morover my raven has more dps with t1 drake (same skills in both). But I admit I haven't been missioning since patch due to war dec'ing. Drake had always problem with high bounty rats esp. if you are not fighting kinetic weak NPCs (like Angels). Raven is worse than CNR but definitely better than drake for lvl4 missioning. If OP waits for money to buy raven I guess he is not willing to wait to buy CNR for price of 3 ravens esp. if he has no clue how to fly it effectively. |

if you have that much pg left why not fit a heavy cap booster? also ffs fit more bcus! 3 cprs and a flux with 3cccs the thing should damn near perma run anyways, get your skills up! |

ffs, yes yes it does, but you end up over tanking so much regardless that it doesn't ****ing matter, and the boost penalty is even stacking nerfed. 5 cap power relays with a xl booster, boost amp, and 2 primary 2 secondary hardeners tanks over 800 against guristas. how ever will I tank with my nerfed shield boost  the large booster setup I posted earlier tanks a bit over 400 against guristas and hasn't had a problem tanking at all. |

This here is going to hurt you the most. If you cant fit all t2 mods, and have at least battelship 4 you are better off staying with lvl 3's until you can. |

will the cap recharge in time for me to re activate teh booster when i need it? that was my biggest worry when considering pulsing the booster. if i only have 7500 shield will that be enough of a buffer to let my cap regen if im takin hits from battleships plus multiple other ships?
If you play your missions correctly, you shouldn't have much of a problem. If you're worried about your HP, you should train skills to increase it, I have my raven at 9000 hp, shield wise. The thing to remember is, a with a properly resistance tanked bs, NPCs will do very little, provided you keep your wits about you, and make sure not to mess up your aggro, and a XL shield booster will fix a lot of the damage they do inflict on you. |
