can any1 suggest what might be best complement to small gang pvp for home defense? the char in question has almost maxed out missiles and or torpedo caldari skills, so thinking something for cruiser or frig that might use this best, either as tackler role frigate or perhaps cruiser or something
for battleships I'm kind of lost too. If you go rokh you can sniper, but that requires rails, and everone seems to thikn missiles/torps aren't so hot for pvp but maybe they're wrong. The raven isn't much of a pvp boat i hear.
The scorpion looks beautiful and has lots of great abilities, but fitting it right for 0.0 pvp doesn't even take advantage of the skills the char in question has....kind of strange situation for caldari bs 0.0 pvp or i could be ignorant
thanks

It's kind of a cliche, but have you considered the AML Caracal? For the money, it's a good ship, you'll murder hostile dictors and light tacklers.

Maybe try a stealth bomber? They seem to be the FoTM currently
Yeah I am a pirate. What are you gonna do about it?

I would bring one of:
- HML Drake (with gang mod)
- Cruise Scorpion (I trained Caldari BS 5 twice for this ship)
- Torp/Cruise Raven (depending what you're shooting)
- AML Caracal (If I'm feeling cheap)
And anyone that tells you missiles are crap in PVP.... they're just wrong. Missiles may have some issues when considered in 500 man blobs (missile travel time, specifically) - but in any reasonably sized gang, missiles are Winsauce.

Sup alliance buddy.
Go for a drake.
Basically with the roaming gangs we get if they see a cruiser they will kill it near first to get a killmail. With a drake you can tank some, put some dps with hml and light drones, and if you die you get a big insurance pay check.
This post has nothing to do with the fact most of the drakes sold in the pocket are mine lol.

I think Drake is a must-train for anyone who's gone down the Caldari path

Try a steal bomber. A Manticore with good missile skills hit hard. With a covert op's cloak, they make great scouts as well. I use one for ratting in 0.0 all the time now.
Just my 2 isk, hope it helps.

The Caldari race's best contribution to pvp gangs is ECM, period.
The Rook is arguably the best Caldari ship in the game by a long shot. Go Heavy Missiles and racial jammers for a decent range dps and excellent jams while out of range of most enemy dps. You can try multispectrals with an LSE when fighting a little closer (I prefer faction multi's in this scenario, but staying with racials is arguable too). You can even go for putting a warp disruptor and a bit more shields for really small gangs.
RR Scorpions fitted for armor buffer also are useful, more so than the other Caldari BS's. Problem with Ravens and Rokhs is that nearly all battleship gangs, even small ones, are remote ARMOR repair gangs. Rokh with armor is a joke, while a Raven can do it while sacrificing significant DPS compared to a shield fit. Rokh sniper is probably the only real PVP way to go with that ship, and you only get to use it if enough of your friends have sniper BS's ready also (so depending on your buddies, it may stay docked up more than you'd like).
Cerb or Navy Caracal for some ranged DPS with Heavy Missiles also works. I'm not a fan of using HAMs on these due to limited tank and high chance of a primary call if fighting up close.
Drakes and blackbirds are also some cheap ways of getting involved in roaming gangs as well and are always welcomed additons.
