Stabber looks awesome though it is soo soo much faster than the other three may be kinda imbalanced.
Did you take into account the 25% engineering bonus to PG and the 25% electronics bonus to cpu, as well as weapon upgrades and AWU?

Caracal should always be a long range missile platform and should never not be.
Regarding the changes, I really think another 10m/s on everything cept the stabber would better differentiate attack cruisers from combat cruisers, seeing as the speed difference between attack and combat frigates is huge, whereas on the cruiser level it will be around 10-15 m/s as it currently looks. |

Fitting neutrons with a 1600 tank was always something exclusive to battlecruisers for gallente anyhow, the thorax is meant to be quick and wield huge dps.

Does the Caracal really need 100km range in its missiles? Wouldn't it be better if it worked better at a slightly more reasonable range?
As previously stated quite a few times, they want to look at the range of heavy missiles. Caracal has always had this bonus, i don't see why it becomes OP now, when it can actually use it to a reasonable extent. |

Hope it contains a moa midslot, it really needs one to differentiate it as having a great shield tank if it is to remain at 195m/s
I like the attack cruisers now. Hopefully the fix for the combats will have the rupture moving more reasonably in comparison with the non-minmatar attack boats, and the moa will end up more able to compete with the vexor/thorax. |
