The Caracal is arguably the most effective Caldari cruiser for PvE. It receives strong bonuses to increasing the range of its missiles, as well as a damage bonus for kinetic missiles.  It can fit an effective shield tank and keep opponents at bay while dealing damage to them from afar.

It receives strong bonuses to increasing the range of its missiles, as well as a rate of fire bonus for missiles.  It can fit an effective shield tank and keep opponents at bay while dealing damage to them from afar. It has no bonus for a specific damage type, so can match the missile type to the NPC.

There are some niche uses for the Caracal in PvP, for example as dedicated frigate-hunter as its Rapid Light Missile Launchers can deal a huge amount of DPS to frigates. With higher fitting skills it is also possible to equip it with a full rack of Heavy Missile Launchers and achieve ranges in excess of 130km.

The Ferox is a versatile battlecruiser capable of a strong [[Shield_tanking#Shield_Tanking_Styles|passive or active shield tank]] and of over 125km optimal range with railguns or heavy kinetic and thermal damage with blasters. However, it is overshadowed by the [[#Drake|Drake]], whose seven bonused launchers far surpass the Ferox's unbonused five, and its hybrid turret range bonus is generally less favored than the damage bonus and additional turret of the Gallente [[Gallente_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Brutix|Brutix]] battlecruiser.
