If I had it to do all over again, I would recommend going caracal-> drake -> gila and stay in gila to figure out what you want to do.

people have run sanctums in the gila, i have run level 4's in it. The ship can do pretty much anything and everything... passive tanked wormhole sites, active tanked HS exploration, low sec exploration, null sec combat anomalies....

The other thing is, it is possible to get one for free, but its dangerous to do so via the Epic Arc
I finally traded mine in now that i am out in null and went into a rattlesnake. Honestly the Gurista ships are a no brainer anymore.

Also while its not noob friendly so to speak, as long as you can send out 2 medium drones and pilot the ship you are guaranteed to get better dps than a caracal or corax at your current skills because the role bonus of 500% dmg and hp to drones

(this is in no way condoning flying a almost 300million isk ship as a noob, just singing its praises)

Thank you to everyone who has given all that valuable advice! I have learned so much in this thread, and I just wanted to tell everyone I appreciate the time they took to answer this newb's questions.

P.S. This thread evolved into advice on my skills, so I have sort of put together training skill spreadsheet.

Honestly the Corax doesn't have the tank ability you are looking for. You could go with the cruiser, but your dps is going to be reduced in lvl2s.

Fit light launchers to a cruiser for level 2's, not heavy.


The problem is not that you can't fit lights to the Caracal it's that the Corax is simply better at killing frigates. It can fit 2 more launchers and has a 10% bonus per level to explosion velocity.
