Hey there everyone, I really like the concept behind the anti frigate caracal but unfortunately I chose to fly amarr instead. Is there any other weapon system comparable to RLML's in their role?

Yah... Pulse lasers are the strongest turrets in game.

All are great as frigate genocide machines.

If you really are stuck on missiles however

Heretic: Amazing ship, can also genocide frigs hard core. I have flown this ship extensively, and love it.

rocket vengeance works quite well, but you're not going to 2 volley frigs like a caracal or flycatcher

Heretic is a pretty good frigate killer.
That or pulse laser, but don't let the frig get under your guns.

arbitrator and prophecy have good amount of missile hardpoints for your RLML needs, not to mention their main dps, drones just BBQ frigs on their own, and you can use the spare utility for some added neuts. of course you will rarely find a frig willing to engage you but same goes for the caracal.

Arbitrator is a horrible ship. Please disregard the people telling you to fly it.

Same with the prophecy.

Sounds like a personal problem. Blink

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

1. Arbitrator = awesome when properly fit and flown against turreted opponents, needs a hefty tank when fighting against missiles. Proper opponent selection can be critical.

2. Pulse lasers, T2 with Scorch, in particular, are, at this time, very good. Almost as much DPS as multifrequency crystals, and good range, combined with pulse laser tracking. Nothing to not like about them, except maybe cap use, and the traditional Amarr lack of mid slots for tackle/cap support.

3. Consider under-gunning a cruiser hull - small pulse lasers, even on an unbonused hull, are very effective at converting pesky frigates & destroyers into salvage.

1. anyone hating the arbi is heretic worthy of being a damsel in distress.
2. there is a new toy in the hood...
The Confessor! a tactical destroyer... activate sniper mode u get 66% optimal on l4z0R$ and 100% to scan resolution.

I tried it with t1 beams just for giggles vs cruisers and frigates in 0.5 and oh boy.. dis ship is glorious.

just imagine pulse L4z0R4 with scorch in sniper mode.
