Can anyone suggest a good solo PvP setup?
Probably going to use it for pirating :D

So I'm hoping I can kill them before they can kill me?
Hehe.

That's always the way with PvP in general, and caracals in particular. However if you ensure you pick on turret ships primarily, and choose a damage type different to the 'standard' that rats in the area do, you shouldn't have too many problems.
Obviously this works best against turret ships, Missile boats will be more a problem.

How about this one, which requires some moderate Electronics skills:
High:
5 x Heavy Launcher
High:
1 x 20km Scrambler
2 x Multispec ECM II
2 x Sensor Dampener II
Low:
1 x BCU
1 x CPU
The 2 dampeners will bring most of your targets' range to 20km or under, and if the ECM does miss a cycle, your opponent will take ages to actually get a lock on you. Just be sure to cycle the ECMs 10 seconds apart from each other, rather than switch them both on together.

I find that the cap on the Caracal really doesn't support running ECMs. *shrug* YMMV.

For the high slots, I found that the heavy missles werent nearly as effective short range. I saw them doing max dmg of around 30hp when enemies were under 10km. I put on 2 light missle launchers for close range, was very effective (if they managed to get within that range by the time the heavys hit em).

Yeah, you really need Electronic Warfare 4 and semi-decent cap skills to hold it for more than 45 seconds, but that should be enough to win a 1v1.

Here's my setup that I like a lot:
Highs:
5x named heavy launchers (I used Limos)
Mids:
Warp Disruptor
named Medium shield booster
EM hardener
2x Large Regolith Shield Extenders
Lows:
2x RCU
It's not the most damage dealing cruiser out there because of the lack of damage mods, but it's still pretty good if you have Caldari Cruiser 5.
