Ships & Modules

Is it a good fit for mission running?

I used different launchers for different distances. I don't understand why some would say it's a bad idea. Also similar fitting is suggested on wiki.


Someone also suggested me this fit (I replaced T2, MWD with AB and two launchers to fit cpu/grid):

I think its 47 secs capacitor is too short for shield boosting. Btw I still can't use a Capacitor Flux Coil.

So what do you suggest?

Use Heavy Missile Launchers.
A Target Painter.
Large Shield extender.
Large Ancillary shield booster.
An Inv Shield (Active of Passive).
Ballistic Missile Damage (low slot module, forgot its name :S).
After Burner or MWD.
Drones (small or medium).


If you are having trouble killing the smaller/faster ships, carry some faction missiles, or use the precision missiles (thats a T2 missile).

I always bring the damage and precision missile types, and swap them when needed.

The tactic goes, kite the enemy, stay at max range. Its the most common and easiest to learn.

If u have the isk to fly a Navy Caracal u have the isk to fit meta BCs. Also, passive tanking will make it more difficult for u to apply your dps. At the range of 50km u wont really be shot at in lvl3s so scale down tank even more and fit modules and rigs to benefit projection and application. U also really need to work on your missile skills, pu a good week in to make your heavies and supportskills for missiles workable. I have 290 DPS with that T1 (and no meta) navy Caracal fit of yours

Dear OP if you have in your possession a navy caracal already may I suggest this as your fit. Downgrade weapons/implants whatever to suit your skills and budget.

Critical stats are 37k ehp, 102hp/s regen
360dps out to 66km with CN ammo. 420 to 50km with fury missiles. 313 to 33km with precisions.

No need for damage application mods as you already get a free TP from the ship bonus.

Similar to the drake above but much smaller sig radius meaning taking less damage from NPC missiles and speed tanking them is easier, less turrets will hit you and you can move about the site faster. Also your resist profile takes advantage of the fact that hybrids typically deal more kinetic than thermal, lasers do more EM than thermal and your explosive resist is decent too. Not much else to say.

I suggest NOT using navy caracal until you get t2 guns and tanking skills. Until then, stick with the regular caracal.

Level 3s are the tipping point where the caracal stops being able to tank enough and the drake becomes necessary. Since most of the time the cnc will be applying just fine to npcs thanks to its ship bonus you don't need to fit application mods. If you're really serious about it though drop an lse for another painter though I would only do this for an angel mission or one with a lot of frigates. Under normal circumstances the fit posted will be *fine*.
