The '''Caracal''' is a Tech 1 cruiser with bonuses to missile rate of fire (and therefore DPS) and missile range. It is a popular ship both for PvE combat in Level 2 missions and for various kinds of PvP combat.
The Caracal is a Tech 1 cruiser with bonuses to missile rate of fire (and therefore DPS) and missile range. It is a popular ship both for PvE combat in Level 2 missions and for various kinds of PvP combat.


As a mission-runner, the Caracal does well in Level 2 missions because it can rapidly destroy packs of frigates. The fully-selectable damage of missiles makes it more flexible in tackling missions than its Caldari turret equivalent, the [[Moa]]. A mission-running Caracal can run an active or passive shield tank.

The Caracal is a forgiving ship which can be basically effective in the hands of a new pilot, and it is often a Caldari pilot's first step up from frigate- and destroyer-sized hulls. A character who has completed the EVE University [[Short Skill Plan]] will be able to get use out of the Caracal.
