Hi, here are my gunnery skills : (or lack of--)
Gunnery - level 3
Small Hybrid Turret - level 3
Medium Hybrid Turret - level 3
Rapid Firing - level 1
Controlled Bursts - level 1
OK, not so hot but I'm using a Caracal atm (Only really for missles but Im experimenting with 250mm rail and AM ammo but I hope to upgarde to a Moa very soon).
I notice that my damage when I hit is rather poor (even when at optimum range).
Any ideas what skills/ammo/equipment I should use to score some nice hits on say 40-75k NPC rats please ?
Should I even forget Hybrid ammo and move to lasers or projectile turrets ?
Thanks in advance.

250 rails on a moa rule. i have 4 of the best named (proto gauss) 250 rails on my moa and they pwn everything. I do, however, have all gunnery at skillz at 4, with gunnery at 5 and medium hydrid at 5 too. with cruiser lvl4 and the extra range the named guns (+tech2 tracking enhancer) i can hit at over 40km with anti-matter ammo. Most cruisers die in 4-5 volleys and frigs last 1, maybe 2.
If u want to use turrets, then train the skillz up and use a moa, if u dont (and missiles are a lot easier to train for) then stick with the caracal cos its a fine ship, and u dont need the expensive equipment + good skillz to get good dmg out of

cheers guys, such a fast repsonse as well.
I do want to stick with my Caracal for offensive op's. But she costs me a lot of money in missles, bless her cotton socks :P

the caracel is awesome in taking lvl3 missions on, but my advice to you is to get gunnary skills up such as motion prediction so your tracking is better otherwise you will have difficulty hitting stuff.

Just make sure that what it's costing you in missiles is less than what you're making in bounties/agent rewards and you'll be fine in a Caracal. It's a great ship for NPCing. I couldn't wait to get one from the first time I travelled through a gate and saw one of the NPC gate guards flying one!
It costs me about 100,000 in cost of cruise missiles for every NPC BS rat that I kill, but when the bounties are 750k - 1.5mil I can cover the cost of ammo quite easily and still make a nice healthy profit.

Motion Prediction is a useful skill to have, as it increases you chances of getting a (decent) hit.
Also, a few extra levels in Rapid Firing may not increase the damage of each shot, but they will increase your damage over time.

My suggestion would be to get either a bpo or a bpc for scourge missiles and make them yourself. I dont have high manufacturing skills and I can still make missiles cheaper than I can buy them and the thought of 3000 missiles sat back in base means you can spam them around a lot more.

get some heavy missle BP originals and start building.
the only way to afford missle chucking ammo is to build it yourself.
Heavy missle BP's are very affordable
