Tactics
PvE
- Kite the rats !! Use your missile range to keep the frigates away from you while you pick them off with your missiles. It is possible to Alpha strike a rat frig with ordinary light missiles. If there are rat destroyers and cruisers with the frigates then take out the frigates first, then the destroyers, then isolate and take out the cruisers. Use your afterburner to stay out of their effective range but inside your missile optimal. Train your missile skills to increase optimal.
PvP solo
- The Caracal has bonus to kinetic missiles and the Assault Missile Launchers chuck them out stupidly fast so this ship is a frig killer. What your do is act as bait so let him come to you when he is in range make sure you warp scram him first then web (not web then scram as it will help him warp off fast) Orbit him at about 2k and shoot. Get your drones out as well for added DPS, but don't get them out until you have him pinned down.
PvP fleet
- Focus on enemy attack frigates and drones. Use your range to advantage. Warp out if your shields buckle and before you are down to armor
