Fit caracal for level 3 missions. How to hook a caracal. DPS Feats for Corax in EVE Online

Corax in EVE Online– a Caldari State destroyer designed to use launchers; Among its main advantages is a good balance of characteristics for PVP and PVE. Like other representatives of this class, Corax combines firepower, close to a standard cruiser, and the maneuverability of a frigate. In this article we will look at the features of the ship and its fit options.

The Corax Ship and Caldari Philosophy

Caldari military doctrine can be quite accurately described by the phrase "strength in numbers." The message sent to the enemy must be powerful and unambiguous. This applies equally to peace negotiations and real fire contacts - there should be no reason to doubt the strength of the Caldari spirit, or the fact that the first strike will be followed by others.

Corax matches the Caldari military ethos 100%. He does not “rain” his opponents with lead rain and does not “fry” them with rays of light. Instead, it delivers powerful, painful strikes at a steady pace, fast enough to stagger the target and throw them off balance. High DPS allows it to be used in real combat operations.

Long-range guns and maneuverability are the advantages of a destroyer

The Corax is a Caldari destroyer introduced in the Retribution expansion. For new capsuleers who enjoy gameplay built around using rocket launchers this ship will be the next one after the Kestrel. The destroyer is a transitional step to the cruiser Caracal. Any players can start their battle journey from this ship.

Corax in EVE Online performs quite well as a sniper thanks to his a large number top slots. Since it has fairly fragile armor, it reveals its full potential when fighting at a distance of more than 20 kilometers. By keeping opponents at bay and using the ship's full potential, a competent Corax pilot can easily navigate most level 1 and 2 missions. This same factor has made Corax a powerful PvP destroyer that can easily kite other ships of its class with relative ease. Even a beginner can figure it out pretty quickly!

The Corax can be flown efficiently with a very small investment of skill points and a minimal investment in the Missile Launcher Operation skill tree. As such, it serves as an effective introduction to the field of missile combat for both newbies and veterans looking for new opportunities.

DPS Feats for Corax in EVE Online

The Corax fit for PVP in EVE Online is as follows:

• 7x Arbalest Compact Light Missile Launcher;
• 5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive I;
• F-90 Positional Sensor Subroutines;
• Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron;
• Warp Disruptor II;
• Ballistic Control System II;
• Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I;
• Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I;
• Small Ancillary Current Router I.

If you need a budget option sniper platform for completing T2 missions, take advantage of this selection of fit.

Sometimes fit Caracal It's not easy for a beginner. This is due to the fact that he mainly tanks from a long distance. With my skills, the flight range is 44 kilometers, that is, at 38 - 40 km we can easily orbit the target. In addition, we make sure to install one that gives a speed of 572 mt/s, this allows you to keep the distance for a long time.

Let's start fitting Karakal with high slots, for missions of lvl 2-3 we'll use [XR-3200 Heavy Missile Bay*] and put charged missiles [skarzhuri] on top of the kinetic. We select missiles for the mission, if in the non-script the fit holes are not in kinetics but in thermal, then we change the missiles - we put inferno missiles. Five launchers are placed on Caracal This is quite enough to deal decent DPS.

Next we move on to medium power connectors.
The classic 10MN Afterburner is a must, and certainly on Caracal. Now let's move on to the passive shield tank. Here we have two modules that add volume to the main shield. You should know that the shield is regenerated passively, and now we will try to increase the maximum shield regenerated and its amount so that it is enough for us to effectively complete third-level missions. This means two [large shield extenders] guarantee a significant increase total number shield

The next module is the T2 invulka [Adaptive Invulnerability Field II] gives 30% resist: resistance to any type of damage, and accordingly greatly increases our tank abilities.

And the next module is a shield regenerator; this module increases the speed of shield recharging. In this case, one piece is enough to ensure a sufficient speed of shield restoration.

This means that regarding the lower modules. Two, again T2, for this you need a pumped-up skill [Weapon Optimization] in 4k, it’s better to download it than earlier than that Better otherwise it will be very difficult to fit ships. [Weapon Optimization] reduces CPU consumption of launchers.
Here we have two [ballistic control system II] to increase the DPS damage of the missiles.

The next module is - again here meta fifth. Increases the flow of energy to shields by increasing the recharging speed, also an important module that improves our tank capabilities.

And the last module is [Power Diagnostic System II] without this module all the others simply won’t fit in; it is mandatory for Caracal. It is unlikely that it will be possible to replace it; of course, you can experiment with fits.
What I see now: I think the optimal Caracal fit for performing misak of the third level. That is, if you can’t drake yet but already want to fly, then it makes sense to fit such a Caracal.

And rigs, rigs are already mandatory for us and they are fixed; these are three burgers per shield which will allow this shield to regenerate faster. There are options with extenders, but they give significantly less than the burghers; for the shield of increasing the maximum volume - we get less tank than by increasing the shield regeneration rate.

In principle, as far as the Caracal fit is concerned, that’s all! The main feature of this ship is that it is capable of passing third level missions keeping quite comfortably at a distance of 40 kilometers from the target. This allows us to take a sufficient amount of damage and does not require us to constantly rewarp; if we maintain a constant distance with the goal, then it is quite possible to pass the third level bowls.

The disadvantage of this ship is that it has quite low DPS. As you can see, 151 DPS from five rocket launchers and my rockets are pumped to three and can be developed more to five. And by the way, there are two more small drones that can be placed in Karakal, they give 34 DPS, drones will always be useful to you in cases where you encounter small targets. Which are better to keep and poison with small drones while you deal with the main enemy and remove DPS - that is, batelships and batelcruisers.

Besides one more important feature are the missiles I put in your cases, take those with whichever enemy you encounter. But don’t forget that it would be a good idea to take with you some [squatted] T2 missiles, this means they will be more effective at hitting small targets if suddenly the drones fail. In addition, there is an option [Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile] of factional missiles from them, it makes sense since the DPS, according to calculations, is slightly higher and the price of these missiles is higher. There’s everything in the trailer with the caracal fit, let’s fly to the bowl and see if everything is in order.

What to fly for initial missions of the 1st and 2nd levels, examples of ship fit and necessary skills

The sequence of studying eve ships of the Caldari branch for completing missions:

Kestrel -> Caracal -> Drake -> Tengu

Kestrel - T1 frigate, active tank, level 1 missions

Caracal - T1 cruiser, passive tank, level 2 missions

Drake - battle cruiser T1, passive tank, level 3 and 4 missions

Tengu - T3 strategic cruiser, passive or active tank, level 4 missions.

The ships of this branch are protected by panel modules

Under active tank protection by the active NR shield pumping module is implied

Passive tank - protection using modules that increase the degree of shield resistance various types damage and increasing the recovery rate of the passive shield.

Level 2 missions and the ship to complete them

On missions of the 2nd level eve you will meet more dangerous NPC ships. And accordingly, your ship should also become more protected. Therefore, we move from the frigate to the cruiser. Compared to a frigate, a cruiser already has more shield, armor, CPU, PG and more connectors.

For the budget fit T1 cruiser Caracal, you need the skills listed above for Kestrel. To control the cruiser and increase bonuses for weapons, you need to learn the Caldari Cruiser skill - level 3

Skill Bonus Caldari Cruiser, per skill level: increased rate of fire for Rapid Light, Heavy Missile Launcher and Heavy Assault Missile Launchers by 5% increased rate of Rapid Light, Heavy missiles (Heavy Missile Launcher) and heavy assault missiles (Assault Missile Launcher) by 10% In the Caracal fit we will use launchers Rapid Light Missile Launcher.

When completing eve missions, use Various types missiles depending on the NPC faction. For more information on what type of damage to hit NPCs, see here “Information for hunters and agentrunners...”

Types of T1 missiles for Kestrel and Karakal:

• Inferno Light Missile - thermal damage
• Mjolnir Light Missile - EAT damage
• Nova Light Missile - explosive (Expl) damage
• Scourge Light Missile - kinetic damage

You can use Caldari Navy factional missiles; they are a little more expensive, but they also do more damage.

See what kind of unwritten information is on the mission in the table. find something to beat her with. Let's say Guristas need to destroy Scourge Light Missile - a kineticist.

To protect Caracal, instead of two Adaptive Invulnerability Field, which cover all resistors of the ship, place profile modules for protection according to one type of resist. Profile modules will provide more better protection, but one resist each. This is the case if you are sure that the NPC deals damage of some specific type. Let's say Guristas damage with kinetic (79%) and thermal (20%). This means that to complete the mission with Guristas, instead of two Adaptive Invulnerability Fields, you can install Thermic Dissipation Field II (thermal protection), Kinetic Deflection Field II (kinetic protection). EAT resistor of the ship will be completely open, but because... Guristas don't use EM weapons, so it doesn't matter. If, with zero EM protection, you get hit by an NPC with EM weapons, you will very quickly lose the ship, because the damage dealt by non-written characters will be 100%, and by increasing the ship’s resists we reduce this damage.

Advice: Don’t forget to salvage the remains of destroyed NPC ships. This will give you additional income. What is salvaging and on which ship is it more efficient to salvage, see the article “Salvaging in EVE. Or dismantling the remains of ships..."
