Ravens are great. They give you stuff. Their most important function is dropping power relay towers. They take time to navigate to the drop zones, so don't order 10 towers, then order repair module, and expect the repair module to be delivered immediately. It may be quite a while before the Raven gets to your order.
Dropping supplies in the middle of a firefight can be a great way to turn the tide of battle. However, keep in mind that anything you drop into the area may be picked up by any CyberPod, including the enemy. You might find yourself facing an opponent who is blasting you with your own munitions. If you are really in need, don't hesitate to call for a drop, but keep one eye on the drop zone as well as your enemy. Try to keep him clear of that area.
Stockpiling is a good strategy in some missions. To do this, you order little piles of grenades, rockeyes, repairs, or other expendables in a few nearby places, or in a safe zone. When you use up your supplies you run back and load up with what you need, without having to wait for your Raven. Just keep in mind that if your enemy runs across your stockpile, he may decide to help himself.
