Anyone else find it extremely odd that a more massive covert ops ship can warp faster then a ship that is meant to intercept?
If you recall, the whole warp speed thing is based around mass or something. Thats why frigs go 6au/s, bs's 3au/s and indies 4.5au/s.
I see 2 reasons why interceptors should have the highest warp speeds.
1. They are interceptors, they are meant to intercept. There base speed is fine for flying around but when it comes to warp they should be the best. There are 2 parts to intercepting in eve, one is in space, and the other is chasing them through warp going system to system.
2. RP reasons, interceptors have less mass then covert ops frigs, it doesn't make sense for them to be slower at warp then them.
I don't have any problems with covert ops warp speed as long as interceptors are faster. If covert ops frigs go 13.5au/s, let ceptors go 16au/s. You will only reach those speeds on really large warps anyway.
Warp speed above 6au/s doesn't make a huge difference in most systems but it's still something that i think should be fixed with ceptors.

They warp faster cause they do some crazy spatial distortion stuff with those computers, or something.

But what are they meant to intercept? Clearly not a cloaked scout ship, so there is no need to scream for the nerfbat about this.
Making them faster than a frig might be handy, but still not reasonable, considering their application.

would be nice if intys could go faster then ordinary frigs, maybe 9au?

No i completely agree with meridius on this one, interceptors would be so much better at their job of intercepting if they could actually catch up to their target in warp, covert ops warp incredibly fast, and I don't really see the reason for it, I don't really care about that anyways, let them warp fas whatever, but increase the interceptors warp speed dramatically too please. Honestly, these ships are meant to be hunting down other ships etc, and with a faster warp speed that would DEFINATLY help in that role AND make sense. And to whoever was complaining about meridius asking for the nerf bat, how about you read what he was saying, he was asking for an inty's speed to be boosted in warping, not for a covert ops speed to be nerfed...

Yea, I'd say 10au is more of a reasonable speed for a ceptor. Just gives it more of a chance to catch that frig that got away

all i hear is "waaaa, my intercepter isnt as uber as it could be if it had something a totally different class of ship has"
you "pvpers" have some nasty tunnelvision. time to break out of your ruts or go back to counter-strike.

Yeah inty should warp faster than covert ops IMO.

Ahhhhh I see. Thats why the cruisers and bs have the same warp speed and one have 10 times more mass that the other, and why the rookie ship, whose is the simpliest of all frigates, also has the less warp speed... Interesting...
The interceptors are meant to chase in normal space, usually, when in warp, you should be relativity "safe" why?, because noone can chase you, if u want to chase an enemy, prevent it to warp out, and getting close is not a problem, u are using a ceptor right?
And dont force the sci-fi putting uber speeds to all ships, if the speeds are uber, why we dont have a new galaxy to explore?

I agree... Interceptors are ment to be fast... Covert ops are ment to be undetected....

seriously though the warp speed is great. Let it alone intercepters are meant to intercept i intercepted a rupture the other day. but cov ops frigates are meeant to avoid unfavorable situations and that means when they need to get out they can and in a hurry. u shouldn't be screaming nerf the cov ops frigate, if anything you should agree that intercepter needs a warp speed boost. thats all
