This is a pvp load out for a caracal
Highs
5x Heavy Launchers
Mids:
1x Webber
1x Warp Scrambler
1x Shield Amp
1x Med Shield Booster II
Lows
2x Cap Recharger
Drones: Hammerheads?
This is primarily an anti Frigate Layout but prolly wouldn't fair to bad against most Cruisers if I keep my range. Idea is to combine minimum EW and Attempt for a basic Sheild Tank.
Webber and Drones should insure any interceptors or Frigates who get within range wont survive. And not many things can take a pounding that 5 heavy launchers cant deal.
Obviously Cruisers are underpowered for most pvp engagements, and caracals are rarely looked out as a viable choice. Most attention goes to the Thorax (which i think is mainly its looks more then its ability) and sometimes Blackbirds for its EW abilities. Oh well opinions ideas, sugestions

try 2 remote sensor dampeners instead of the wbber/scrambler

Wouldn't 2 sensor dampeners allow enemy ships to run though, im not looking at a fleet set up here but more of a 1v1 or 1v2 set up. In fleets I can see where dampeners would be more practical.

I just love the caracal, but you've gotta consider under what circumstances you're fighting.
For the 1v1 and 1v2 I'd use following:
Hi:
5x heavy launchers with kinetics (use the missile bonus, you won't have much chance to change missiles anyways)
Med:
Warp disruptor
Webber
2x Sensor boosters
Low:
1x 400mm rolled tungsten or crystaline carb.
1x medium armor repairer I/II
Reason for armor tanking: You need your medslots for utilities. In PVP with smaller end ships it's more about outlasting them in HP, since the repairer will do very little in the fight. Too low pool of HP, thus the 400mm to enable the armor rep to do a few repairs.
MWD IS USELESS ON CARACAL. What are you going to catch with 900m/s and no cap left ? If they guys are close to you, you lock them in 3 secs (2 sensor boosters) and they'll be dead as soon as the first volley reaches them.
Yesterday I entered a fleet fight... pretty small scale one, but my team had 2 cruisers (me on caracal) 1 inty and 3 frigs and one BS. We warped into 3 BS, 1 cruiser (moa), 4 frigs and one ceptor. I had fitted:
Hi:
5x Heavy launchers with kinetics
Med:
MWD (travel purposes, deep behind enemy lines)
Cap recharger (found no scrambler :/)
2x Sensor boosters
Low:
400mm crystaline carb.
Medium armor rep I
In that fight I killed the moa, 2 vigils and one crow, and I got almost every kill we got in there... I think one other frig was killed. I warped out with 20% armor.

Okay but I am kinda surprised Caracal pilots are not using the Ballistic Control System mods to boost dmg and ROF for their missiles cuz I would think 1 or 2 missile dmg mods would make Kinetic missiles hurt more than otherwise.
Any thoughts along these lines ? |
