Fit of the week: Rapid Light Caracal

Before today I've never flown anything with rapid light missiles.  Even though I started as a very heavily Caldari Sp based character I had always used rockets.  I knew how well these were as anti-frigate platform but I never expected people to engage it and with the low scan res and not-quite-fast enough speed to catch most frigates I figured I'd be flying around watching frigates warp away.  Booorrriiinngg! Now this is the fit I'm rocking because I still only have light missiles to III so obviously rock the tech II's if you can.

So I don't think I really need to explain this fit.  Kite targets at Point range and use the web defensively.  If frigs try to burn out of range overheat the mwd and point to keep them on grid for as long as possible.

The Win:
All of these were withing twenty minutes of actually building the ship which may have biased me a bit but here we go.

1. Fed Navy Comet + incursus + breacher. (Breacher got away)
2. Stabber Fleet Issue hero bump
3. Fed Navy #2

The Fail
Haven't lost it yet so no loss mails to show off.  I will say that you should avoid cruisers that can project their range because they will out dps you. Stick to frigs and destroyers and let them think youre buffer fit and you'll see some success.
Burnt out mwd
Pizza Blob
Lost with him in 10% Structure (forgot to pop heat)
