Hey all,
I have heavy missiles trained up to 5, and am currently working on shields training. My Caracal is fitted as follows:
5 x Heavy Missile Launcher I 2 x Magnetic Resistance, Thermal Resistance, Medium Shield Extender, Medium Shield Booster 2 x BCS
I will probably throw some T2 missile launchers on to increase my damage, but the whole reason I RAT Sansha in a Caracal is to cut down on risk. I can take a Sansha Lord or other BS out in about 15 minutes (long-ass battles).
Any suggestions for improvement?
Also, do actual T2 missiles make a big difference, or is it just the launchers that increase damage?

So you're 0.0 ratting in that thing? I mean I know it is possible, but with a Drake you'd kill things much much faster, you're still insurable, and you'd have a chance to not get pwnt by every passer by you see.
/edit Regarding T2 missiles... yeah Furies do a nice bit of extra damage to big targets like BSes. The launchers can give you a better rate of fire although T2 is no faster firing than Arbalest I believe. |

T2 is better. T2 is affected by the specialization skill.

Caracal is a Cruiser, not designed to deal heavy dmg to larger ships.
Carcals use the same equipment as BC'ers, have the same bonuses and generally are outmatched by every category imaginable.
In the end, go with a Drake and throw a few more fittings on there, if your not doing 300DPS stick with something easier. If your doing 450 DPS, bs's are the way to go.
If you salvage, doing 400 DPS and have a 10 belt system to yourself it is quite easy to make 20-40 mill an hour (depending on if system is chained already).
Good luck!
My fitting:
7 x HML II's 1 x Salvager
1 x Magnetic Resist AMP II 1 x Photon Hardener II 1 x 10mn MicroWarp (for salvaging quickly)II 1 x Large Shield Extender II 1 x Medium Shield booster II
3 x BCU II 1 x Co-Processor II
I'm sure im missing a mid slot from memory, but replace it with whatever you can fit.

Nice setup for caracal but wrong thing is you have heavy missiles 5 but not using T2 launchers (btw train rapid launch to lvl 4 if not trained yet) . 15min for a BS is alot you are wasting your time ,move to drake fit tech2 launchers and carry some fury missiles
