Wanted a good fitting for the Caracal, PvE or PvP. I can use pretty much T2 everything, so feel free to include those. I'm kind of just looking for some interesting and effective fits for various situations, nothing in particular. So how do you guys like to fly?

For pvp the caracal is really only good for one thing: Frigate Shredding.
[Caracal, Omnomnom] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II
Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive Warp Disruptor II Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II
Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Medium Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Warrior II x2
You can stick a tp on instead of the sebo but effective damage is nearly the same and I find locking quicker to be much more useful. As far as a pve fit they do ok with heavy missiles but tbh you should just go right for a drake for missile spamming on missions as the skills needed past the actual battlecruiser skill are exactly the same. And if isk is an issue just run the noobie epic arc making sure to loot and salvage them all and that will get you all the isk you need to buy your first drake and fit it in about a day or two.

Go troll somewhere else. You don't need any of those to send a frigate packing when using light missiles. Besides what frigate pilot in his right mind would go anywhere near web and scram range on a caracal? Oh wait your intigo. Sorry mate I forget your the dumb one here.

I, too, think it's more important to "run frigates off" than actually killing them.
I, too, tell people how my ship is fitted before I engage them! ____________

Somebody takes these forums too seriously...
Maybe you should spend some time in game instead of just bashing everything else anyone posts.

Who cares about frigate kills? Are you a killmail whoor?(oh wait.. retorical question) In a gang situation getting that tackling frigate off your mate so you can gtfo before the blob arrives to collect you both is far more important than killing him. I mean noone complains when we run gangs in fw and none of the scout frigates will even try to come near for an oppourtunity tackle when we have a caracal or two along for anti frig support. But keep on replying and I will happily keep shooting you down for my forum whooring pleasure.

thanks zeba, the fitting actually seems pretty sick. I've seen a couple all-assault launcher setups so that seems like the way to go. Looks perfect for some FW PvP.
And as for the individual who offered no help and then kind of had his argument destroyed: sweet, dude.

I too agree with the Assualt launchers! Best use for a Caracal and massive help to a gang, I mean who wouldnt want a 40km bubble of death for frigates in gang? Its the fit i always give to the newer players in my corp :)

Solo AML Caracal should fit a disruptor. It gives you greater flexibility of range and tactics. Obviously, it also needs at least one and preferably two webs.
As for a gang AML Caracal, well, it depends on how you want to fly it. If you intend to sit at range and spam LMs defensively, then the webs aren't much use and painters or TDs would be more useful.
HML Caracal is a perfectly good gang option as a stand-off ewar and DPS platform. The AML version is probably more useful in general though.

This.
In my solo ventures I use dual webs on the caracal, because really, the times the two webs would not have saved me, dual LSE certanly would not either --- "And thus, another of the world's dreamers died, taking his dreams with him.

Ahem... Bait Caracal?
5x AML II
3x LSE II 2x Invuln II
2x PDU II
3x CDFE I
55k EHP, 160 SDE and 100-odd DPS. Tanks a few AFs/Inties easily and can keep a couple of BCs interested long enough for you to arrive. Yes there's no tackle and yes that's worth the 15k EHP of the 2nd Invuln, warp to zero and tackle stuff yourself you lazy bugger

Ahahahaha. Good one one Peckles. You sufficiantly bruised his ego so he bristled up and linked his totaly average kill stats. I mean golly gee anyone can fly with a gang and get kills especially when the majority of them are in nullsec with its easy mode bubbles. Btw love all those dram losses. Keep buying them off contract mate and make me even richer.
Oh how I love stupid gang bangers.

Hornet II x2
This is a standard setup i flew on my Caldari PvP character. It kills Frigates like any AML Caracal. Most of your targets will be AB fitted so a Warp Scrambler is useless. Bigger targets are within your capabilities, the Caracal is pretty fast and actually really agile. If you can kite a ship, they're a fair game. The DPS might seem like small, but it doesn't suffer from tracking or falloff. The drones are personal preference.
EDIT: I fit a Warp Disruptor II because most Frigates are AB fited. Meaning they can disengage too easily. However the Caracal accelerates really fast, so if you overload your MWD, right when they leave Warp Scrambler range, you can activate it and they won't leave the Warp Disruptor range. It turned out to be alot more effective, i wasn't taking my Caracal into 0.0 much, however.
As for PvE.

This is the easiest time you'll have doing L1 and L2 missions. Hardeners are mission specific, rigs are optional, nothing will even get close to you, Hobgoblins are good for ev'rything exept Angels, for those just use Hornets or Warriors. If you don't feel like bothering, you can use invulnerability fields and resistance rigs, you won't have to switch anything. If you don't have the fitting skills, then down grade the extenders or hardeners.
