Hi,
I'm a new player to Eve and trying to learn my way in PVP with a friend. I currently have a Caracal and am looking into Missiles? Which Missile fit best on a Caracal?
P.S My friend flys a frig atm so I was looking at missiles to compliment his Punisher set up that he took off these forums.
Currently I have
1x Light Assult (I think it's called that, the anti frig ones) 1x Standard Launcher 1x Heavy Assult Launcher 1x Heavy Launcher
Now I know thats not going to be the best weapon setup, but I was just testing to see which worked better and what my ship could handle.....as I understand different missile launcher types are for different ships, so would a mix help me be more varied?
Any advice would be appreciated |

Well, I don't know about other Caracal Pilots but; I like to kill frigates.
This setup usually kills frigates with ease in a 1 v 1.
5x Assault Missile Launchers
10mn Afterburner II Large Shield Extender II Warp Scram II Webber II Target Painter I
800mm Rolled Tungston Armor Plate Damage Control II or Ballistic Control Unit II
This is for killing other frigates - Use faction ammo.
If your friend has point (Warp scrammed the enemy), u can replace the Warp scram with another Webber so your enemy speeds won't matter. |

Assault missile launchers are the way to go tbh, in pvp you're best off trying to kill frigs and in pve you're going to be running at most lvl 2s with it which are mostly frigs, but as a rule:
Long range damage: Heavy Missile Launcher More DPS closer up: Heavy Assault Missile Launcher Better job killing frigs: Assault Missile Launcher
Anything else is just a waste on a caracal. |

Heavies or Heavy Assaults if you're planning on fighting nothing but cruisers and up.
Assault Missile Launchers if you're planning on engaging frigs. The AML Caracel is the Caldari version of the undergun Thorax and popular for the same reason - deadly against AFs and the extra tank you can squeeze on more than makes up for the loss of DPS against cruiser-size targets.
Just make sure you use the correct damage types. Just because the Caracel gets the biggest bonus to Kinetic doesn't mean you should use it exclusively. If you shoot CN Bloodclaws at an Ishkur they're going to laugh and melt your face. If you shoot CN Piranhas they'll be crying on voice for their mommies (or corpmates).
