Rilrake	Posted - 2009.03.25 13:51:00 - [1] Edited by: Rilrake on 25/03/2009 13:52:45 how does a caracal do lvl 2 missions? i am using heavy misses.. so i can kill the cruisers, but then i cant kill the frigates, but if i use light missiles, i pwn the frigates, but i cant scratch the cruisers appreciate yall

Kneebone Heathens' Harbor	Posted - 2009.03.25 15:12:00 - [3] And not the Heavy Assault launchers! Also your Caracal can use 2 light drones. When I did L2's in a Caracal I did a 3/2 split for Heavy Launchers and Assault Launchers to go along with the drones. I know people say its never a good idea to do a split weapon setup, but for L2's it works. The other thing you can do is train your missile support skills so they are more useful against smaller targets. Also if your find your tank more then sufficent for the missions you are doing you can also use a target painter to help hit the smaller stuff.
Ms Delerium	Posted - 2009.03.25 15:15:00 - [4] Cruisers: heavy missiles Frigates: drones You want good Drone Skills (train for Drone Interfacing level 4) specially with Elite Frigates in level 3 missions
Agent Known	Posted - 2009.03.25 16:06:00 - [5] Heavies don't do a whole lot against LV2 cruisers either...I noticed that I can rip through them if I use the right type of standards in assault launchers. As for tank...buffer tank always works quite well. That and passive tanked towards whatever they shoot at you.
Ikserak tai	Posted - 2009.03.25 16:29:00 - [6] Edited by: Ikserak tai on 25/03/2009 16:30:00 Train your missile skills. Just ran a couple of frig heavy Level II missions and as long as I kept my distance (60 km) I could split my heavy missiles up (2 on one, 3 on the other) I could take out two frigs in 2-3 volleys. With the 10m3 drone bay, two Hobgoblins are useful if they get in close. The Caracal is an excellent PvE Level II runner, but you've got to get your missile support skills up to make dem missiles hurt dem NPC's. YOU'VE NEVER ROCKED 'TIL YOU'VE UNDOCKED.
Micheal Dietrich Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.25 16:31:00 - [7] A caracel with assault launchers, a BCU, some rapid fire rigs, and even a painter is actually quite a little beast for L2's. Got a corpmate who joins me in L4's with his caracel and after I get aggro he cleans house with the little ships and can actually hold his own with BS's as well. I call him the really big drone.
Vidi Angelus Caldari Crystal Dynamics Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2009.03.25 17:16:00 - [8] I'll second the mention about drones. With a couple of days in drone skills they become very useful for taking down frigates& the such. And ofc, Drone skills are useful in pretty much every ship you can fly.

That isn't exactly cost effective for level II missions, rigs come at a hefty price for new/newer players. Assault launchers with standard missles work wonders. If you aren't doing enough DPS with standard missles, then there are skills which should bring you up to snuff, although I can't tell you what they are off the top of my head.

T1 works just fine here though.
TraininVain	Posted - 2009.03.26 00:33:00 - [12] Assault Missile Launchers until you've trained up your skills some. OFC by that point you'll probably be in a Drake anyway so...

Good luck getting close to some of those cruisers in a reasonable amount of time without an AB.

Dracthera Minmatar	Posted - 2009.03.26 01:22:00 - [15] Edited by: Dracthera on 26/03/2009 01:23:01 Caracal does fine with lights against cruisers, BC's, and even BSs. I sometimes use my Caracal to rat in 0.0, and I have no problem taking down BS's in it - takes a little bit of time, but they go down nonetheless. I ran my L2's in a Caracal without issues. Like others said, fit names assault launchers with lights and you're good to go. EDIT: Void's loadout above works very well. I used something similar with great success. Apto Quod Ususfructus
