Raven, the passive shield battleship for C3 wormhole sites

C Single-source / unverified Raven C3Wormhole combat sites3 pilots

Rapid heavy missiles on a passive shield tank that cannot be neuted off, built to run C3 Sleeper sites as a trio. Deliberately over tanked, so it still holds on a character with low skills.

The fit as flown. As I put it in the Discord, "I definitely over tanked this whilst also allowing for low skills." Passive regeneration, because most C3 sites neut and a passive tank has nothing to switch off. The afterburner is there to close the range to Sleepers that orbit beyond missile reach, pulsed between waves, not left running. The site notes below come from our own model of a three-Raven group, run before the 22 Sep 2026 patch changed how Sleepers pick targets, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Drones

The bay takes five medium drones at most, so no heavies and no sentries. Carry lights and mediums. Missiles struggle to hit the small, fast Sleeper frigates that scramble you, so killing those is the drones' job. Since the 22 Sep 2026 patch, Sleepers in C1 to C3 sites no longer shoot drones, which makes that job easier.

Skills

Caldari Battleship, the missile line and the shield skills carry it. The Raven's rate of fire bonus covers rapid heavy missiles, but its missile velocity bonus does not, so Missile Bombardment and Missile Projection are what get your missiles out to the Sleepers. The site list below assumes both at level III AND the afterburner fitted. Either one alone leaves you stuck on sites with a Sleeper orbiting out of reach. Shield Management is the tank skill that matters most: every level adds to both the buffer and the passive regeneration at once.

Watch out

What it clears

Sites in the Atlas this fit is meant for, and the ones it is not.

Outpost Frontier Stronghold Clears, and the only C3 site with nothing sitting beyond heavy missile range

The Oruze Construct Clears as a trio with the afterburner

Fortification Frontier Stronghold Clears as a trio with the afterburner

Solar Cell Clears as a trio with the afterburner

Forgotten Frontier Quarantine Outpost Clears as a trio, a long site

Unsecured Frontier Receiver Clears as a trio, a long site

Unsecured Frontier Database Marginal. Needs Shield Management IV, run it last

Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot ⛔ Skip. Fails on every variant we modelled
