I'm considering a suicide fit for a caracal as my main is mostly caldari. Can it be done or would I be wasting my isk?

Not a waste, a Caracal is actually perfect, make sure to use T2/Faction/Officer mods.

you are looking at 550 DPS overheated for 20m isk.... a catalyst can give you that same performance for under 5m.

but, since most miners now days tank macks with a kin and a therm hardener. hitting them with EM missiles to peel the shields will actually make many of the 3x - 4x catalyst ganks become doable with a caracal + catalyst.

also, officer fit it hur hur.

I've been having a lot of success with Coercer/Catalyst.

Might even go for Coercer/Coercer to see how that does.

Can you hammer in a nail with a screwdriver?

Absolutely. Any firm object you can swing can be used to hammer in a nail.

I agree, but has any one analyzed how this will change with the changes to the RLMLs? When I read about them gank caracal immediately came to mind but I haven't looked into it yet.

It still wont get near the massive dps/value efficiency of blaster gankboats
