I came up with this Ares setup and from my calculations, it just fits
2x T2 Rocket Launchers, 2x Dim Nos
1x T2 MWD, 1x Fleeting Scram
1x SAR II, 2x BCU II, 1x Micro 'Vigor' I Core Augmentation
Skills Needed: Electronics V, Weapon Upgrades V, Adv Weapon Upgrades IV
Thoughts?

Pricey set up and you could probably do the same sort of thing with a different ship but do it cheaper.
What do you intend to use it for?

Pirating?
The T2 BCU's could easily be droped to named or normal T1, but you get the best result with T2. They are how ever, more exp than the ship itself.

The other exp part is the power, core.. you could get around that by getting AWU to V...

Not just the BCU IIs, but the named micro aux and the nos on it don't tend to come cheap either.
You thought about using an Ishkur, or is the speed important to you?

I do well enough in a ishkur, I was just thinking about coming up with a kick ass setup for the ares. I wonder if I could drop the NOS to goul's..
/me goes to check

I can understand that, but the Ares just doesn't have enough going for it to make it viable IMO.
Not enough damage output, not enough meds to fit a web/scrambler/MWD, not enough grid/resistance to make it worth tanking.

2x 125mm t2, 2x std
mwd II, 20km scram
small rep, pdu, mapc, nano/cap relay
Requires some skills to fly but can pwn lots of inties. However you can pwn even better with gistii missile crow.

People like Lukec are the problem and they know it. Shin Ra's Raven has 4x WCS, Lukec's Dominix has 5x WCS & Ishtar has 2x WCS.

Well it depends what you are doing. I can run everything for more than 40s. Also when dogfighting, you don't need scram quite long. When tackling, don't orbit with mwd = run 4ever. 2x relay = forever, however it doesn't fit.

My take on this.
2x named 125mm railguns, 2x named standard launchers
Named 1MN MWD, 20km scrambler (named for least cap usage)
1 small rep, 2x cap power relay, MAPC
I have engaged and beaten crows with this. As long as you can control the range you'll get some good milage out of it. Needs pretty pimp cap skills and propulsion jamming 5 to maintain speed and warp scrambler.

try dropping one of the BCU II's for a damage control - that way you can use a normal MAPC - save you alot of isk when it dies, and it will as the ares is bad - fly a ranis or crow :D

BCU - is it the Ballistic Control System?
Search a while to find what You mean...
must get used to all that shortcuts 
Seems i have some problems getting all fitted.
At now I'm running with
2 125mm, 2 Std ML
1 T1 MWD, 1 10km Webber
1 SARI, 1 DMG Controll, 1 PDC, 1 MAPC
why not use a close combat fitting?

My blaster fit would be:
2x Neutron II, 2x Named Rocket Launchers
MWD and Webber or MWD and Scram
Small Armor Repper II, Mag Stab II, 2x Micro Aux...
Well probably could get away with 1x Micro Aux and Cap Relay with Adv Wpn Upgrades V...
The Taranis is more efficent close range though.
I actually wouldn't mind if they swapped 1 high slot for a med slot...

Yeah, that's the thing. It's possible to build a hafway decent closerange setup on an Ares (though the tiny grid makes it a pain and makes you waste lows on MAPCs), but the Taranis is just much, much better at it. Actually, that sums up the Ares pretty well -- anything it can do, some other inty can do better. 
If it was the only inty in the game it would rock.

I'd go so far as to say that whatever the Ares can do decently most other inties can do better (i.e. take any given interceptor and it can probably do it better).
As for the cost, well let's just say that's entirely to do with supply and demand. Ares is just about the only interceptor that's got a much higher supply than demand. And the irony doesn't stop there - the Ares is actually more expensive to build.
The only thing keeping the price up is because it's a T2 ship and people expect it to be expensive.

My favourite setup:
2x Light Neutron Blaster II w/ Null
2x named Rocket Launchers w/ Foxfire
MWD, Web/Scrambler
Dmg Control, MAPC, Mag Stab II, Reactive Plating (Energized should be possible with high AWU)

I run an Ares with the following setup for close combat:
High Slot:
2x Light Electrons II, 1x Arbalest Standard Missle, 1x Arbalest Rocket
Med Slot:
Shield Booster II, AB II,
Low Slot:
F85 Damage Control, 3x PDU II
Ammo: Antimatter, Thermal missiles, thermal FOF, and thermal rockets.
It shield tanks, no problems with CAP. What I do is orbit my target at 500m, with AB II on, and F85 on; and I blast a way. I am zipping along at 1100+m/sec, i can hardly be hit, as I keep it fast and my signature small. Usually the target wont last more than 2 volleys, before I zip to the next target. Shield Booster is set on manual, coz if I set to auto, it drains the cap when you forget you got it on. Recharging the cap is very fast. I have never gotten down to armor with this setup. Although I have only used it for PVE. World Collide L1 can be done in 15 minutes clearing out both gates solo.

What would be a good T1 tackler set up of the Ares? It seems the cost is low enough that I can go through them, if the modules are not too spendy.
I notice everyone is using rockets, but don't lights get me farther out?

Guys, isnt it the fastest ship in the game?
Ares have highest speed of all Interceptors, and, with long-range weapons, can keep his distance to any target and deal damage with impunity.
Im not a great PvP'er, but maybe Ares is good for scaring intys away? You can instantly approach any tackler-inty and make it die or retreat.

The Crusader is a little faster and lighter than the Ares. But you're right, dictating range is one of its strengths.

IMO, the true strength of the Ares is that it is cheap. For the price of a single taranis, you could fetch 3 Ares. So it would be best not to spend more money than you need to on mods. Stick to T1, or cheap named. If you are going to be spending money on T2 gear, you should be upgrading to a better inty - because there's a reason why this ship is so cheap.
I would think that this ship would be best for those who want to try out a T2 ship with minimal investment, or for those seeking a semi-expendable T2 ship.
