The Caldari State is ruled by several mega-corporations, there is no central government to speak off, all territories within the state are owned and ruled by a corporation. Duty and discipline are required traits in Caldari citizens, plus unquestioning loyality to the corporation they live to serve. The corporations compete aggressively amongst themselves and with companies outside the State, resulting in a highly capitalistic society.

By far the most popular race but for a long time they were limited to missile spamming only due to the lack of a railgun capable battleship. Enter the Rokh, the sniper ship of choice and rapidly becoming the fleet combat bs in Eve. What is it with the birds?

Kestrel

A great fun and easy to fit frigate that can punch above its weight in gangs.


Basic Kessy: 4 Std Msl, shield booster, EW/Tgt Painter/Webbers, 2 nanos Kessy Inty Pwner: 4 Rkts, 2 web, 1 scram, 1 MAPC, 1 400mm plate

Interceptors (Inty's)

Crow

PvP solo / small gang

  • H: 3x Standard Missile Launcher II (Optional 125/150 rail)
  • M: 20k Scram, 1MN Micro Warp Drive II, Cap recharge mod
  • L: Micro Auxillery Powercore, Cap recharge mod, Inertial stabiliser

Admittedly I (Fear) have very little experience using this ship in anger, however the secret is to stay outside of web range (10-12km usually), orbit at 15km with the MWD on all the time and watch your cap. If you can orbit them at 4,500km/s very little will hit you. Faction / Officer scramblers are preferred because they use significantly less cap. Best named Inertial Stabiliser makes loads of difference also. If you can stretch to it a Gitsi A-type MWD and a True Sancha Scrambler.

Do not engage drone boats or where T2 drones are used. Do not engage destroyers or dictors.

Covert Ops

Buzzard

Covops cloak, recon launcher, nanos in the lows and whatever you can fit in the mids (ship scanner, cargo scanner, roid scanner are all ideas)

Manticore

Stealth bombers are the submarines of Eve. Creeping around cloaked and popping up unexpectedly to launch cruise missile death on unsuspecting foes. Like subs tho, they tend to crumple as soon as someone looks at them.


H: Improved Cloaking Device T2, 3 Cruise Launcher T2 M: 2 Sensor Booster T2, 2 Remote Sensor Damp T2 L: Nanos

Destroyers

Author; Hehulk

Fit Type; Small Gang Work

Notes; If your cap and EW skills arn't up to scratch, yuor going to strugle for cap with racial jammers, and multi specs eat your cap alive. With EW 4 though, and the cap skills at 4 should be ok. Named jammers help alot, as they eat less cap. t2 isn't worth it as it has the same jamming strenght as best named for alot more cap and more CPU.

Set-up;

Highs; 3 X Heavy Missile Launcher I, 1 X Medium Noseratu I

Mids; 1 X Sensor Booster I, 5 X Racial ECM Jammers

Lows; 2 X Signal Distortion Amplifier Or 2 X Cap Power Relays Or 1 X Signal Distortion Amplifier and 1X Cap Power Relay

Caracal

Everyone's favourite budget PvP ship. Easy to fit, very versatile and cheap as chips. You can experiment with Assaults, Hvy Assault or Heavies in the highs, tank, tackle or EW in the mids and still leave room in the lows for whatever you want.


Caracal Anti Frig: Std Asslt Launchers, Med Nos, 10MN Ab, web, scram, cap recharger/second web, BCU, 800mm plate Caracal Fleet: Hvy Msls, 10MN Ab, EW, Sensor booster, 2 BCUs

Moa

Osprey

This ship specialises in remote shield transfer. It comes into its own once a POS has left reinforced mode and needs a very fast shield boost. Very rarely seen outside of this role.

Heavy Assault Ships (HACs)

Cerberus

Eagle

Recon Ships

Falcon

A glorified covops frig with plenty of room for toys but does no damage. None at all. Primary weapon is the ECM and stealth. Use best name ECM rather than T2


H: Covops Cloak T2, Probe Launcher, 2 HAM T2 or Cyno Gen M: 4 Racial and 1 Multi ECM, Sensor Booster T2, Gravimetric ECCM T2 L: Co-Proc, Sig Distortion Amp T2, Nano

Rook

Can you say Primary? Since the ECM nerf in Revelations, this combat recon has come into its own as the strongest EW ship. At the price you're better off using a Blackbird or Scorpion for fleetwork but it's still good for small gangs. Some people like to stick a cloak on but since it can't do covops I don't see the point.


H: 5 Heavy or Hvy Asslt Missile T2, 1 Nos if you can fit it M: 4 Racial and 1 Multi ECM, Sensor Booster T2, Gravimetric ECCM T2 L: 2 BCU T2

Logistics Ships

Basilisk

Battlecruisers

Drake

PvE missile spammer

  • Highs: Heavy missiles / Assualt missiles for pesky frigs sometimes
  • Meds: 3x Large Shield Extender II; 2x Specific Hardeners (T2); 10mn AB
  • Lows: Shield rechargers and BCUs

This is very much like the Ferox, only better. More missile hard points, missile bonuses and more fitting slots. The extra mid slot allows an AB which can make PvE so much more pleasant. The one remaining high slot can be used for tractor beam / salvager / med nos.

PvP Fleet Tank Author: SAS Kinghtwing

  • Highs: Heavy Missiles Launcher II x7, whatever else you can fit in the spare slot
  • Meds: Large Shield Extender II x2, Invulnerability Field II x2, Heat Dissipation Amplifier II, Magnetic Scattering Aplifier II
  • Lows: Power Diagnostic System II x2, Ballistic Control System II x2
  • Rigs: Core Defence Field Extender x3 (Expensive to lose in PvP. If you have a trustworthy fleet or big pockets then well worth it!)

Notes: With my current skills I get an effective HP of 101,352 when I put this fit into Eve Fitting Tool. To make the Drake into a small gang or solo PvPer swap out the Heat Dissipation Amplifier II and Magnetic Scattering Aplifier II for a webber and 24km war scrambler. The drake is not a very good solo ship unless you pick you fights carefully... so I like to fit an Improved Cloaking Device II in the spare high slot to give me an escape or way of picking my fights when solo. This may require a CPU upgrade in one of the lows to allow the cloak to be fitted. This solo/small gang setup gives me around 79,000 effective HP with my skills.

Although this is a T2 setup you should be able to swap out everything for named modules if you're lacking the skills. You also may find it hard to fit 7 launchers without the Weapons Upgrade skill trained up. Remember to use faction ammo to give you the extra egde in PvP.

Swap out the Heavy Missile Launchers for Heavy Assualt Missiles if you're gonna be doing short range combat like gate camps etc. Doesn't have the initial volley punch of the Heavy Missile Launcher but it has better DPS overall.

Ferox

PvE missile spammer

  • H: Heavy missiles / Assualt missiles for pesky frigs sometimes
  • M: 3x Large Shield Extender II; 2x Specific Hardeners (T2)
  • L: Shield rechargers and BCUs

This will happily do Lvl 3 missions. The secret is to keep it out of range as best as you can and the shield tank is something like 12k which takes a lot of fire to eat through.

Command Ships

Nighthawk

Author: Friznit

Use: Command Ship Goodness

Notes: 70%+ resists, insane recharge rate, and pretty good dps if you have command ships skilled up properly. To fit a gang link in the spare high I've had to free up room for 1 RCU and 1 PDS. I'm loving passive tanks, they rock.

The Bringing it version:

  • H: 7x heavies, Med Nos (or whatever)
  • M: 2x LSE, 1x Shield Recharger, 1x Invuln, 1x Pith A-Type Mag Scatt Amp
  • L: 3x BCS, 2x SPR
  • Rigs: 3x Core Defence Purgers
