Crusader + Claw.
Combat interceptors.
Two mids.
We had no reason to fly them before, especial with the buffed Executioner and Slasher.
What reason do we have for flying them now.
Amarr and Minmatar fleet interceptors make better combat interceptors than the combat interceptors.
No change.

How's about simply switching the Crusader and Claw from combat interceptors to fleet and the others to combat with some bonus fiddling.
It's got to be better, surely.
Also, a respectful question to Fozzie, Rise and Prom. What sort of fight do you envisage the Crusader and Claw having? Have you spent much time in them? Thoughts?
Thanks

To be fair, I think many have tried and given up. Then jumped in a Slicer or an Executioner. I enjoy fighting in the Punisher, but it has tank and a neut. Two mids in itself isn't such a problem up close, esp with a neut. On the Crusader 'kill stuff' interceptor it is.
Let me put it this way. For a lowsec ab frig scrub like myself, what tactics would you recommend to fly the Crusader with success?
Serious, respectful question. Help me 'get' the 'Sader. I've really tried.

Come on, Missile or Rocket Claw. 2 Mids wouldn't be so bad then. You could still stick a 400mm plate on there if you wished, just blap with rockets, rather than guns.
Rocket claw would definitely need three mids. Not going to happen apparently. If you need a scram/ web inty or a low sig punk frig you'll still be better off flying a slasher.

Considering the effectiveness of Attack frigs as solo boats it's a reasonable expectation imo.
Let's look at it this way.
Attack frigs are the natural predecessor for the interceptors. In the fleet tackle role they perform very well, fitting the required mods, out running drones, killing them etc. Moving then into Fleet interceptors a pilot can expect the same strengths but better, in all the things that matter to a Fleet Interceptor, more specialised to the role.
Attack frigs are also fitted and flown as combat ships too (Kill-ceptors). To great success, especially in Low-sec. Flying them rewards good piloting, good fitting skills, good understanding of the meta and each of them are more than capable of getting great punk kills. They are paper thin and a single mistake can go bad quickly but being mobile with decent ewar options they are good at dictating the terms of the engagement or getting out if the plan goes south.
The Claw and the Crusader may fit into a limited niche role in Null-sec, but for the big frig users of New Eden, Low-sec AB scrubs like myself, they are now and will continue to be a non-event. What we want is a Super Executioner and Super Slasher that will be able to 'good fight' a Taranis. Now that's a Combat Interceptor!
Please Fozzie, for the love of gameplay and low-sec, give them 3 mids.

Swap it for a low slot. It can deal with less tank/gank and deserves full tackle or dual prop.
This. While it's impressive that you can get over 7k ehp out of the Crusader I'm not sure it's really needs the extra grid over a third mid.
But, whatever. |
