Hey there everybody. Im fairly new to the game, been playing for about 2-3 weeks now and I just finnished my Lv 1 Epic arch Mission line for the sisters of Eve. I will soon have the skills trained to run a Cruiser and I have purchased a Caracal as I am a Caldari Merc and I plan on focusing on PVE. I know missle boats dont do well for PVP but I dont plan on PVPing till much further down the road. Just looking for a little advice on how I should fit it for effective combat. Here is what I was thinking.
High slots. Heavy missle launcher x4 Assault missle launcher x1
Med slots Afterburner Medium shield booster Shield extender Shield amp Magnetic scatering amp for more EM damage, can switch out to increase the type of damage that my enimies are weakest in
Low slots Damage controll Balistic controll system
Rigs One for Missles One for Shields One for Drone speed
And useing light combat drones to help deal with frigates that are too fast for my missles.
Thats what Ive come up with. Are there better fits out there that have worked for you? If so please post here or find me in game. Thanks!
PS. Also looking for a Caldari based RP corp if any of you know of one
Khorsabad Maw. Merc Pilot.

Edited by: LonTas 5 on 08/06/2010 18:40:47 Since u just finished your lvl1 arc i assume your on lvl2 now? The problem with your current fit is this: you have different missile types and its active. L1, L2 missions arent very hard, so you dont need an active tank really. Try this: with noob skills you get 25hp/s recharged 13k EHP 100dps @ 60km 500m/s EDIT: rig as needed

So should I gear it to passive tank or just not even worry about shield boosting at all and just focus on DPS? Khorsabad Maw. Merc Pilot.

You can change that around by adding another assault missile launcher and a shield booster instead of the webifier/disrupter. Add a cap booster and you'll be stable too.

This is what I use, and it tears up anything below a battleship, while being able to tank 3+ battlecruisers, or two battleships. It is also quite cost effective, and easy on the skillpoints. It'll hit anything between 18-63k away from you, depending on skills. Frigates are gone in 1-2 hits, cruisers in 4-6, battlecrusiers in <10. It doesn't have a speed mod, so you'll have to fool around with it if you want that.
Highs:
5x Compact 'Limos' assault launchers (mission specific ammo)
Mids:
3x Large subordinate screen stabilizer 1x invulnerability field 1x mission specific hardener
Lows:
Damage control unit Ballistic control unit
Rigs: (optional)
1x Medium Core Defense Field Extender Fill in the other rigs with whatever, I really didn't see the need to put more on.

Thats odd. I seem to be inside a quote. Lol. Newayz the pplz here seem oblivious to your asking for level 2 PvE fits ...WHICH DONT REQUIRE ACTIVE TANKS ON A LEVEL 2... plus adding a cap booster looks cool when your heavy tanked ship sez "cap stable" until you find that all your boosters only last ten minutes and you had no room for loot as a result of all those boosters. Passive shield for your ship should be fine. Keep moving, keep shooting. Youll be fine.
You need to balance. There are alot more then tank and DPS; the fit i made uses speed and range. My fit uses this philosophy: You are at range and going quickly, thus the small amount of damage that gets through is rechard by the shields. It is cap stable as it does not use boost modules therefore can maintain infinite running of all modules.
Active tank EATS cap, and when your dry on cap your outta luck. Again, balance is nessacary. thats why theres a weapon upgrade and a shield upgrade in the lows.
I suggest switching to Assault launchers for the easy Level 2's and when you start with the missions that send the cruisers or slower ships at you use HM's. A basic rule of thumb: HM's pwn anything more then 30km away. If somehow the mission rats go faster then your ship, which is rare, and you find yourself swarmed by frigs close up: go for AM. on a totally unrelated note: OOH that was thunder outside.

To be a complete forum w*ore I'll qoute myself on the exact same topic.
Hint: It helps to look at the other topics before you post.

Will do anything lvl 1-2 and a lot of 3's (though slowly) Can be adjusted down to meta lvl items if your skills aren't up for it yet.
----------- Why is it called common sense, when it's clearly very rare.
I had a mind once, but alas, I seem to have forgotten where I left it.

To quote myself from the same thread with the same reply:
Quote: This is the correct answer. If you feel like rigging it, use CDFEs over CDFPs; this is a buffer tank not a passive tank.
Oh, and make sure you're using bloodclaws.
And two light drones couldn't hurt, they just won't help all that much. Until you get to a Drake. Then you definitely want to have all five of the drones around.

The Assault Launcher build is a good one, i'd stick with that one. L2 missions are mainly frigates with an occasional cruiser so those launchers are excellent for that; heavies aren't effective vs small and fast targets.
And don't use drone rigs.
