Well, if you had a caracal i'm STILL puzzled as to how you died...

Unless you have utterly crap cap and ab skills or skills that give negatives to those two, I can't see how you are dying.

This is how to do level 3's in a caracal (never tried lv 4s with it but i can solo 1.4 mil BS spawn x2 + 4-6 500k bc):
HI: any HEAVY launchers (NOT HEAVY ASSAULT!). I solo the BS spawn with limos and a BCII, but your mission could be done in full T1 launchers
MED:
1x AB. Preferably T2. Preferably faction. Preferably Officer xD. but t1 will cut it.
1x Large Shield Extender. You can't fit a T2 LSE I think, but get highest named. This gives you a nice 4-6K shield 'buffer' in case things go wrong.
1x sensor booster. Only get this if you can shoot missiles up to at least 80 KM, which only a level one in every skill cannot do.
fill the rest with passive/active hardners depending on shield and cap skills.
LOW:
1BCUII and 1PDS or RCU. PDS is if you can fit all of this, RCU/RCUII if you cannot.

And if you cannot fit BCUII, then put a T1 in it, or, since your skills are probably crap, put another PDS in it, rip out the LSE, and snap in a medium booster II or small booster II. I've found the amount of damage taken in a long range caracal to be managable by a small T2 shield booster.

So there you have it. If you were charging into battle spewing rockets...then you must have hit self destruct in order to die.

And yes, this does solo The Blockade, but it solos it so slowly that your best bet is to 0.0 rat until you can afford a ferox/drake, as every1 here suggests.
And yes, contrary to popular belief a ferox is a viable missile platform.
