Darknar	Posted - 2006.08.15 14:59:00 - [1] ok im having a little bit of trouble fitting this interceptor. i know its not the taranis, the reason i got this interceptor is becuse i like to looks of it. i see it has a confusing bonuses to it. but what i want to do is able to fit longer ranged weapons. at least out of smartbomb/NOS range of meduim to heavy NOS. i would like to use missiles(becuse its got a bonus to missiles) and the requred MWD. i dont plan to solo in this craft. i want to use it to intercept other pilots. by litrally arriving at a gate before the enemy with a nice 13 odd AU speed this should help out. so if anyone got experiance in a ganking interceptor let me know :) i do plan to get the taranis later but i want to play about with the ares first becuse i personaly like it better
Hydrian Alante The Loot Company	Posted - 2006.08.15 15:19:00 - [2] My Ares Setup: High 2x 125mm Railguns II 2x Standard Launcher II Med 1x Gist A-Type AB (or tech II if you don¦t got the money) 1x Fleeting Warp Scrambler Low 1x Damage Control 2x Local Hull Nanofiber 1x MAPC For the Ammo Use Lead or Thorium to stay out of web and med nos range. If you like more tank, you can fit a plate and a eanm II. But i prefer speed. If you got the skills, try the Raptor too, it¦s very similar to fly.
ElCoCo Gallente KIA Corp	Posted - 2006.08.15 15:28:00 - [3] 2 nanofibers and a damage control don't go well together. Fit a local hull overdrive and an local hull inertia stabilizer if you want to go that way... A bit less speed/agility but 300 more hardened hull to eat through. (Although this stupid ship also has pityful cap and it's an ordeal to keep guns+scrambler running for too long with no cap relay)

I will try the overdrive + inertia combination! Thos inertia mods will get a boost anyway with the next balance update.

Christopher Dalran	Posted - 2006.08.15 17:35:00 - [7] Originally by: Scorpyon Quite possibley the worse ship in the game. At least it's cheap as ****. Scorp So its worse than an atron or an imicus? Avoid using a MWD on an inty, the sig baloon will usually get you killed if your trying to close range on a larger ship by flying directly at it (zero transversal)

Audrea Widowmakers Novus Ordos Seclorum	Posted - 2006.08.15 17:57:00 - [9] We had a discussion about the usefulness of the Ares couple months ago or something.. to sum it up again in two words: Cheap shuttle Thats all it is. Useful to move faction/officer loot from 0.0, or rare minerals in case cov ops unavilable. It can even evade a very well setup gate camps But its true crap for pvp applications. ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE All posts are my personal opinions.

Avernus Gallente Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.15 18:24:00 - [11] Just because an Ares will get it's ass handed to it by most other interceptors, by no means write this ship off completely. Realise that this ship is weak in some areas, but it's still a great tackler, especially when you factor in the price. I can purchase and fit 3 Ares for the price of 1 taranis... that's damn good value. Btw, 98 kills, and 5 losses with the Ares. Know your ships strengths and weaknesses. For setups, go close range all the way. It's a cheap ship, so get the most out of it. Nothing in life is quite so sweet as the taste of payback.

It only got 2 med slots, so how can it be tackler? it can either hold web+scram, or mwd+(web/scram). I dont think any ceptor with only 2 med slots is of any use in the role all ceptors fill... ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE All posts are my personal opinions.

You assume all ships should be solo pwnmoblies? Ofc not; you are very limited on your mids, and an mwd is absolutely essential, normally, I would fit a 7500m scrambler for my second slot. In short, use teamwork and let someone else do the webbing. For an example of how I like to fly it: 2 neutron II's, null s ammo. 2 rocket launchers (can't use T2 ones yet, not a priority) 1 mwd II 1 7500m scrambler (uses a great deal less cap to maintain) 1 damage control 1 mapc 1 cap relay 1 adaptive nano II What you should note, is I don't use an armor rep. It gimps my setup. You asked for a strength, that is where the damage control comes in. The Ares has lots of structure, around 700 something with my skills if I remember right. Combine that with the minimalist armor tank with the nano and damage control, and opponents find they have quite a bit to shoot through to get to the chewy centre. I depend on others to repair my ship after a fight, it's a part of the teamwork we use. If I lose the ship, then I've saved my buddies some time repairing me. The obvious weakness is that most interceptors are still going to take a chunk out of you in an Ares, no matter how you setup. After that, it comes down to fighting smart and using good tactics. Use my setup if you like... but if you don't know how to fly it, you're screwed anyway. Nothing in life is quite so sweet as the taste of payback.
KittyPilot Gallente Black-Lotus	Posted - 2006.08.15 19:40:00 - [16] I agree completely with Avernus. My Ares makes a great 'team-player'. I can fit it to complement the other ships, and they can cover me. Since I fly a lot with Caldari, someone almost ALWAYS has a Leadership/shield bonus for me, which just helps even more. I'm about to get Rocket Launcher IIs, which I hope will go nicely with my blasters for close-in work. can I play with the cute mouse...can I?

Just to expand on this one point. For the range of ships out there that you tackle, there are in fact very few that actually require you to hit with a web in order to stop them from getting to a gate for example. A T1 frig will be dead before it can hit the gate if he comes in at 15km, or hits a bubble... the only ships that really require a web are other interceptors, and some HACs that can tank the damage they take until they hit the gate. 90% of your targets only need more points of scramble on them to hold down the warp core stabbers.

I agree with you totally. I have an exellent Ares tackling setup. Works well for groups, and the two mids are fine. Its a ranged setup, so web would be useless anyway. Imo, the ares does its job very well. just need to set it up right, and fly it in a group.
Darknar	Posted - 2006.08.15 20:59:00 - [19] Cheers Hydrian, ElCoCo, and Avernus, for the good advice. @ the moment I can afford a taranis, but to be quite honest I want to live by the Ares , defend its name and all that. This advice might help me get the most out of quite possibly the cheapest T2 frig in the game. and everybody knows that red is faster
Avernus Gallente Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.15 21:16:00 - [20] PS. Ares is also a great bait ship to pull in all the suckers that think it's an easy kill. Nothing in life is quite so sweet as the taste of payback.
Joshua Foiritain Gallente Coreli Corporation	Posted - 2006.08.15 21:52:00 - [21] Edited by: Joshua Foiritain on 15/08/2006 21:53:33 Ares + Faction Scrambler = win. Its fast, Immume to heavy nosf due to the +22 km scrambler and thus a great tackler to get unstabbed battleships with. Extremly useful in those situations where youre chasing someone and you need to hold him down untill backup gets there. My Taranis would get nosfed and die. ----- [Coreli Corporation Mainframe]
OldPueblo Gallente Defenders of Order	Posted - 2006.08.16 03:23:00 - [22] I had an ares, and when I lost it I just replaced it with an Atron with MWD and scrambler. Didn't really notice a difference. :p Just my two cents.
BlueOrca Gallente Delta team	Posted - 2006.08.16 07:08:00 - [23] 75mm T2 with Spike and Standard T2 with precision Flamebusts can give you good DPS. what is "23"?
