ok I've give it a couple of go's and I have nearly lost my BS twice only got away because they started targetting my drones.
I'm using an apoc with 8 x megapulses
any tips on what I can do to kill them?
I have a webifier out here but I have'nt tried it yet to see if that helps simply because I just don't want togo head to head with them again.
I only ever seem to get one killed before the other 2 are on top of me.

Personaly I forget about them. First you kill the mama BS. Then you let your drones lose and let them worry about the ceptors. It takes a long time for them to go down, but they all do eventualy. Just tank the dmg.
Some ceptors orbit at under 5km. You can take these out with SB if you have one fit, otherwise, just wait for the drones to get them. However if they orbit at 7500, then you have to resort to drones anyway. (I use vespas)
Hope this helps.

I don't release the drones until all interceptors are within 10km - More than that and they tend to switch target to your drones, the same is true of cruisers / BS which are still far out from your position.
I haven't lost a drone for months, of course this strategy depends on you being able to take whatever damage is being dealt long enough to kill said interceptors.

With the drone changes I use medium drones to attack
all but BS's, works quite well. Cruise missiles working
pretty good too, takes about 3 for a frigate to be
incinerated  .
Just wondering why you was not traveling with drones
in the first place.

Cruise missiles.
Use 6x Megapulse and 2x Siege with cruise....wait until they get within orbit distance before you start shooting them (they go faster than the missiles when they are mwding towards you, but slow down when they orbit). The lower-end ones die from two, but you may need 4 missiles + drones for the higher-end interceptors.

yep I found cruise missle's seem to be the easiest way, did'nt even need to pull out my drones, but this is only a tempory measure I guess since missle's will be getting nerfed soon.

you have a webber fitted and aren't using it on the cepters? Why the hell not? web them and then send out the drones.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

I kill 750k BS spawns with 6-7 interceptors using a Scorpion.
Cruise missiles for the interceptors, and Torpedos for the BS.
BUT
My Scorp gets a missile speed bonus per level, and now that I think about it you're using an Apoc. I would try running 6 beams and 2 cruise/siege launchers.
Test it out and see if you like it. Bring friends the first time though in case you need to get bailed out =D

6 wasps do a real good job for me... just make sure all the npc's locked your BS and are shooting you (set your auto scanner so you will know once that is... 3 red leds in my case/settings). Then launch drones and go make a sandwhich.
Unleash the drones too early and you will lose drones.

Don't launch the drones until you really need them (the NPCs are scrambling you and in your face).
The heavy drones can take out the interceptors, but it seems to take quite a bit of time, I'm thinking going with more medium drones could be more effective (since I can control 10 at once).

I didn't read where anyone had recommended this already, so if it's already recommended sorry... Use a large named smartbomb and be done with it.
If you're NPC'ing you don't need the full firepower of the Apoc to take down the rats, just the full firepower to take down the rats quicker. So use a smartbomb to ensure a long and healthy life for your Apoc. :)

I tried 5 mega pulse and 2 medium pulse or beam (7500 optimal with multis) on an armageddon once and those two small lasers didn't do much damage to interceptors. Conclusion even small guns suck against interceptors.

tackle the npc inty`s the same way you would tackle any player inty.
simply web them and use missiles.
6 mega pulse and 2 seige should be the order of the day for npc`s in an apoch imo
