What are good caldari skill based ships that would be good to start PvP in?



Merlin, Kestrel, Griffin, Harpy, Hawk, Blackbird, Caracal, and Drake.


And then cross train minimatar.

Caldari's Finest: Merlin, Crow, Hawk, Kitsune, Caracel, Drake, Rook, Falcon, Cerberus, Manticore, Tengu.

If you're new to PVP, you shouldn't be flying anything larger than the Merlin. For quite a while.

And the Merlin is the best "surprise-I-killed-you" T1 frigate in game, so enjoy it.

Also, the Ferox is worth trying later.

Dont forget the Harpy and Hookbill off of the list for great Caldari pvp ships, also if you are playing the lol game a battle buzzard is pretty hilarious.

Thank you all for the great information. I do really like my drake but I will take Andrea Griffin's suggestion to start small so I don't blow a lot of isk up front.


Just make sure you are far from the fight so you don't get destroyed. :) Oh wait my missiles can hit you from far away

Most Caldari ships are competetive in their class. In general Caldari ships have some capacitor issues due to hardeners and damage modules increasing RoF on blasters, they sometimes lack drone bays and an extra midle slot for a stasis webefier if they want to keep a proper tank. The optimal bonus is perfect for blasters and the shield buffer regenerates which can give you an edge.

Other than that, there's plenty good Caldari PvP ships. Just the name a few, Merlin and Cormorant are probably the best ships in their class, Moa is a good combination of tank and DPS, it lacks a webefier and a drone bay though. Caracal's great for killing frigates and despite the small EFT numbers, it delivers good DPS because it doesn't suffer from falloff or tracking. Ferox is as good as any other tier 1 BC, the Drake's probably the best BC there is.

Overall the race is great, it has its upsides and downsides like any other race exept for Minmatar.

EDIT: Andrea, Caldari ships are as agile than Minmatar, no difference with the Merlin.

would ungrouping the missiles and firing 1 by 1 have any effect in this? i would think so being the damage would be constant.

this is a bad idea for any weapon. Think of it like this you have 10 torpedo launchers and time them half a second apart it now takes you a total of 5 seconds to have all 10 torpedos to fire. If you have them grouped the all fire at the same time so you get to unleash 10x the damage instantly vs 10x over 5 seconds.

if you dont understand that then...Ugh

Caldari gunboats are... Ok if you put blasters on them; they'll be able to hit much further than Gallente ships with blasters, which IMO is more useful than a damage bonus. What good is that damage bonus if you can't apply it?

I've been told that some blaster ferox fits are like a gank Brutix but with a little less DPS and more survivability, as well.

I've gotten an electron blaster Moa fit that does just over 400 raw DPS with Void M and my skills as well; don't know if that's actually all that great or not though. If you ever want to be doing stuff in this Moa though I'd have a tacklebro lying around to help you in the webification area.

I see little wrong with other suggestions that other people have provided either, really, although I personally have no clue how to fit Kestrels, only Merlins.

I love my special vulture fit with :

Neutron II + 2x HAM II
1x 10mn mwd II + 2x LSE II + 2x Invul II + 1x Disruptor II
2x mag stab II + 1x DC II + 1x pds II

5x warrior II

2x EM shield rigs

My drake with :

7x HAm II
1x 10mn mwd II + 1x Lse II + 2x invul II + 1x web (eccm/sensor booster) + 1x disruptor II
2x BCS II + 1x DC II + 1x PDS II

5x warrior II

3x rigs shield extender

Blackbird is a good ship for a team and you can play it fast, caracal with assault launcher and passif tank can be good too to kill fregate, moa with blaster can be a surprise.
