I think just a plain sig reduction would make these ships far more survivable, then at least the bigger interceptor line would be accurate. As is they can't take much if any damage. Like has been said, every other T2 ship class has somthing that makes it survive that bit longer, all this ship class has is somthing that makes sure their target stays to finnish them. I guess they can be of use against t2 indies tho  .

they were meant for interdiction, not combat =P
Will people stop it with this crap arguement. Interceptor's only good for intercepting? Battleships only good for battle? Recon ships only good for recon? I think not.

Then you are sadly mistaken, cause ehm what you just said is true. What might be the problem is your definition of intercepting, battle and recon.

giving them more survavibility would make them completely overpowered in fleet battle. I don't think we need AF v2, interdictors are different and have a very precise role.

Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft.
the bolded part is what the original complaint appears to be about: that the functionality other than launching the spheres isn't exactly what one could expect...
Perhaps that shouldn't be interpretted as meaning that interdictors are as well suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft as their destroyer-class progenitors - i.e. not very.
They do appear to be a bit of a one trick pony, but what a trick. No other ship can scramble an entire blob. An interdictor and a 40km scrambling recon ship would make a pretty good camp on the far side of a gate.
I think they do need a slight buff to survivability, but not to the point where they are able to beat an AF in a 1vs1, for example, as that would make AFs obsolete. Similarly, they should be able to out-intercept an interceptor, should they?

okie just bought my shiney new sabre and looks at really closely . urgh no tech 2 armour shield resists , same power grid as tech 1 , same cpu as tech 1 . one usefull low slot switched too mid , . the role bonus not applied seperated from its interdictor bonus , akka recon ship .
not impressed with this developers the ships a half made item too stop the af and inty pilots whining alot . i was looking forward too a class off ship bewtween an af and hac . not a worthless pice off combat ship that is .
its role could have and should have been given as in the force recon . not what u have presented us with . really totally disapointed by the ship .
Hey at least you got a ship thats not bugged, the force recons dont work! Go read my post and make lots of angry comments then maybe we can get them all fixed.

I'm going to relate every post I make to Force Recon Ships being bugged.

Just a thought re the sabre. You have a nice amount of tracking, speed and 4 mids to play with.
I reckon an AB, tracking disruptor/sensor boost, web, scramble, 280/250mm arty, plate?, rep, might be able to do a job on an AF. Kill their tracking and you have the speed to evade them all day long - if you come up against a short range AF you're laughing.
