Seeing that there are no post-RMR threads about PvP caracals, I figured I'd start one. First of all, this is an anti frigate caracal. Meaning its aimed at taking out frigates and other small ship, without losing too much of it's potency against bigger targets. This is also by no means a solo setup, as it lacks scrambler, webber ect. and works best if you're in a group. I'm pretty new to this, so I'll take any advice I can get. Lets get started.
HIGH:
5x Assault launchers
Reasoning:Well, it's pretty simple. Heavies take up too much PG and CPU to work with this setup for a char with my skills, and it also doesn't work as well as assault launchers do against frigates. No secret there.
MID:
1x 10NM AB I
1x Medium shield Booster I (or named/t2)
1x Invulnerability field I
1x Cap Recharger I
1x Large Shield Extender
Reasoning: The AB is simply to keep you at, or as close to as possible, your max range. This will help you stay away from the targets optimal range, and hopefully evaporate them before they come too close. the Medium shield booster is to provide some more regen than what's standard. Nothing new there. This setup seems to be a bit cap intensive, so I added a cap recharger to keep it running for a bit longer. And last, the caracal suffers from a light "fly-in-a-paper-bag" (not a good tank) infection, and needs something to help compensating for this. In this case it's the shield extender. It gives quite a bit of extra shielding, and will help you last a little longer.
LOW:
2x Ballistic Control System
Reasoning: Nothing more than to help you pop those pesky frigates as soon as possible.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I don't have time to do the math right now, but I'll get to it as soon as I can, if you want me to. Enjoy

39.3 DPS
DPS looks like crap i know but let me explain.
the interceptor has a critical flaw... its targetting range. exploit it with sensor damps, reducing it to 8km. once he moves in for web range, target painter, and duel web him.
the precision rockets also have a max range of about 38 km with skills. here's the skills you need:
Caldari Cruiser lvl 5
Rocket Specialization lvl 1
Propulsion Jamming lvl 1
Rockets lvl 5
Missile Launcher Operation lvl 5
Weapon Upgrades lvl 5
Sensor Linking lvl 4
Target Painting lvl 4
