The Caracal is the strongest of the missile-focused regular cruisers. Its bonuses to missile launcher rate of fire and maximum velocity allow it to reach out to extreme ranges, especially with heavy missiles.
The following fits are intended for young players who are just training into their first Caldari combat cruiser. The cost should be under 30 million ISK in a trade hub such as Jita.
You'll want to train Caldari Cruiser to at least level 3, in order to run combat sites like the Guristas Guerilla Grounds.
Engage at any range up to 40 kilometers. The ship is cap stable, so the shield booster can be run indefinitely.
