Eve: Popfleet doctrine

Popfleet is long range Caracals. The Caracal has a 50% missile velocity bonus which means its missiles fire out further. While there are no modules that boost effective range of missiles, it's possible to rig for both missile velocity and flight duration. At that point the missiles reach out to 141 km if they are faction or Tech 1. (Tech 2 missiles have 75% of that range for Fury and 50% of that range for Precision).

Low skill notes: try to keep 2200 m/s and the long missile and targeting range. No need for T2 launchers and the tank's not all that important. Don't change the rigs and do add another Sensor Booster if your targeting range is under 141km.


Missile damage can be boosted by target painting and the Bellicose is specialised in doing just that. It will probably be painting in falloff range which means some paints will fail but that's ok. Every paint that lands boosts the whole fleet's damage. This fit also includes light (ie frigate-sized) missiles which give the ship a useful secondary role if tackler frigates get close.
