Most importantly however... can these interdiction spheres be destroyed... and what is their hp if so?
Better question is if they're Empire usable...if they're 0.0 only, they're going to be pretty trash.

If you can use these in Empire, will they be limite to systems with low sec or can they be used anywhere? Does pulling a ship out of warp criminally flag you? if so Interdictor + high sec = CONCORDONKED = useless in an empire war.
And yes I'm an empire mission runner thats only just getting into PvP, so i ain't been out to 0.0 yet and can't see myself there for a while (I'm having enough trouble with Empire pirates let alone 0.0 gate ganks)

Will warp core stabs work against these, or will they work like anchorable bubbles?
Does not probably matter much in fleet combat (I might be mistaken), but makes a huge difference for a mining op. I actually like the balance they give to pirates against miners - currently a sensible low-sec mining op has very low or practically no risk of ship-loss against a pirate - but if stabs won't work, it might throw the balance to the other extreme for a while. :)

Errh..
I seriously fail to se how the Flycatcher with 8 highs, 6 launcher and 3 turret slotts.. would ever benefitt eficiently from 7.5% tracking speed, and 10% bonus to optimal range.. O_o
its cind'a silly tbh..
swapp them for some resonable missile bonuses for crying out loud!!
Besides that.. they loock sexy! :D
and im definetly getting one! or 2.. or 3  
the launcher probe thingie is a good addone the shipps.. theyr like heavy interceptors ^^
Cheers!

one thing i would like to know is are we going to be able to get the BPO's fot the probes. Or is it going to be NPC only like scan probes. I hope the probes aren't to expensive after all i can see me using alot of these :).

Loving that Sabre... it looks like when it's not Interdicting warp tunnels it'd make a pretty good regular Desty on steroids. I really hope we don't get crappy bonuses to lose out because it's nice having a top ship for a change  |

That'll depend on whether warp stabs work vs. the new bubble thingy or not. If they do, snipers will just fit a few less damage mods (which they will anyway, due to stacking change) and a few more stabs.
If they don't... things will get very interesting.
Looking at the other side: defending a low-sec mining op will become a *****. One interdictor warps in and drops a warp bubble, and you suddenly have a whole mining group locked down. Could be tricky to counter, but we'll see.

They are warp bubbles. No warpy, no matter how many stabski's.
And mine? Mine? Jericho Fraction mine? Generally it's us killing the miners, so no problems there.

Wasn't talking about you, there 
We'll just have to see what happens when Mr. Interdictor runs into Mr. Sentry Drone and his happy friends. Should be entertaining.

IIRC 'standard' bubbles have a 10 point warpscrambler effect. So in _theory_ you can blow through them, with lots and lots of stabs. Of course, no one has 10 lowslots, so it's largely academic. But leads me to suspect the interdictor might have a lower 'power' to the scrambling.

This will be fun. Warp in and dust the place with probes.
1. warp scram probe +5
2. webbification probes
3. sensor damping probes
4. bar-b-qued probes
5. sauteed probes
6. probes etouffee...
Why else so many launcher slots?

Im guessing Mr. Sentry Drone cries cause Mr. Interdictor is doing 900m/s with an AB.

It should be at least 5, and you can mount more then one launcher, so in practice it won't make any damn difference. If it is less then five then Interdictors won't get flown much.

1). Missiles without bonuses have lower DPS then guns.
2). Interdictors don't have the -25% to gun ROF "bonus".
3). An interdictor with 6-7 T2 small guns firing at full speed would totally obsolete Interceptors and Assault Frigates.

Likely yes, but he will be quickly consoled when his close cousin, Mr. Web Drone steps in and restores order.

Cursed web dronse. As someone who likes fighting outside of web range, I demand web drones be removed from the game.

Bonuses for the other 3 Interdictors are on sisi now.
Name: Flycatcher
Hull: Cormorant
Role: Interdictor
Interdictors are destroyer-sized vessels built to fill a single important tactical niche: the breaching of enemy warp tunnels. Capable of launching warp-disrupting interdiction spheres,
interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic importance where enemy movement must be restricted. Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are
well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft.
Developer: Kaalakiota
As befits one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the known world, Kaalakiota's ships are very combat focused. Favoring the traditional Caldari combat strategy, they are
designed around a substantial number of weapons systems, especially missile launchers. However, they have rather weak armor and structure, relying more on shields for
protection.
Destroyer Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile velocity and 5% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile precision per level
Interdictors Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile kinetic damage and 5% bonus to Interdiction Sphere Launcher rate of fire per level
Name: Eris
Hull: Catalyst
Role: Interdictor
Interdictors are destroyer-sized vessels built to fill a single important tactical niche: the breaching of enemy warp tunnels. Capable of launching warp-disrupting interdiction spheres,
interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic importance where enemy movement must be restricted. Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are
well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft.
Developer: Roden Shipyards
Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tend to favor missiles over drones and their ships generally possess stronger armor. Their electronics capacity, however,
tends to be weaker than that of their competitorsÆ.
Destroyer Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret falloff and 7.5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret tracking speed per level
Interdictors Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile thermal damage and 5% bonus to Interdiction Sphere Launcher rate of fire per level
Name: Sabre
Hull: Thrasher
Role: Interdictor
Interdictors are destroyer-sized vessels built to fill a single important tactical niche: the breaching of enemy warp tunnels. Capable of launching warp-disrupting interdiction spheres,
interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic importance where enemy movement must be restricted. Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are
well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft.
Developer: Core Complexion
Core Complexion's ships are unusual in that they favor electronics and defense over the "lots of guns" approach traditionally favored by the Minmatar.
Destroyer Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Projectile Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to Small Projectile Turret tracking speed per level
Interdictors Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Projectile Turret falloff and 5% bonus to Interdiction Sphere Launcher rate of fire per level

Small question (can't connect to sisi ATM) ...
Does the sabre keep his 7/2 turrets/launchers slot layout?
If the answer is "yes", then it won't be the best "interdictor", but it's gonna pwn frigates all around ... wow, a 7 turret with dmg, tracking and fallof bonus WITHOUT rof penalty ...

hmmm, i can't stress it enough but alright, sabre is nice but remember it has only 58 PG, and uhm, interdictors are still paperthin ships :P i think at most they gain like 200-300 hp accross structure/armor/shield, with little extra resistance (they gain an extra 10% in their own catagory minmatar/EM amarr/explosive and so forth.
oh and whoever wants to compare them to ceptors, they still got the same sig as their T1 counterparts)

Good freaking lord CCP, get off the kinetic-only missile damage bonus for Caldari.
Those look like fun ships, too bad the Cormorant/Flycatcher is typical Calgimpi and only suited for firing the warp bubbles.
*Edit: okay that may be a bit hasty on my part, not knowing the slot layouts for it, but if it is half rail and half missiles, ick.

I wonder if there will be any restriction on these probes in relation to deployment ranges around gates. If these things are gonna fire off a 20km bubble instantly they will just lock down a gate. Set ship on gate. scout in next system gives the word the enemy is jumping in. Ship fires probe on the gate and intantly there is a 20km bubble around the gate in every direction. Enemy cant sit there cloaked long enough to outlast the bubble. Snipers set all around the gate then feast on the helpless.....hmmmm this is gonna be fun!

It's 7 turret, 2 launchers, but only 8 highslots, so yea. That makes the thrasher the best destroyer t2, and it IS the best t1 anyways. So why argue 
Even tho it has less PG, that's still more than enough to fit 7 150mm II, 1 interdiction sphere launcher, 1 t2 mwd, 1 Sensor dampener (for long range ceptors), double web. Small amor rep, Gyro II.

Alot of bonuses are just placeholders so don't whine too hard because they will get changed
well if you fit the sabre like that you didn't really grasp the idea of it :p i'd wax you before you could say WTF :|
250's are definitely more versatile, but All the cool kids are using 280's. |
