Review - Caracal

The Caracal is the only cruiser class ship that is symmetrical in the navy. The good thing about this ship is its 5 heavy missile capabilities; 5 on a cruiser isn’t bad I would say.

The ship isn’t the toughest ship either, but still a rigorous tank for those level 3 missions and can provide an adequate amount of firepower when those missile skills are developed and refined.

The ship’s bonus to kinetic damage is often overlooked. If the bonus is 5% per level, then at level 4 it has a 20% extra damage boost. When it’s that situation, don’t use explosive or em missiles. Comparing when both of them hit, the damage from the kinetic will out do the other by it’s bonus, even if the target ship is weaker to that damage.

This ship is like the Drake, and I guess it could be called it’s little brother. A step between the Kestrel and the Drake. A lot of these are flying around and if you just started to play the game, I would suggest you skip buying a destroyer and save up for this ship.

The punch power alone makes it the better cruiser and later on when you have done enough missions for the Navy, you can trade in all those hours you have spent as a slave to get your Caracal upgraded.

And this is a pretty speedy ship too when you are picking up the loot!

Now in a fleet, you will almost always see a few of these ships as they are good assets to the team. Dishing out large amounts of damage while remaining relatively cheap. And to pilot this ship, not a lot of skills are demanded either. Just some missile skills and shield skills; that’s about it.

The bonuses fit the intended purpose and the ship is cheap and effective. Simple as that and that’s how I like it.
