I can't find any good setup for the Flycatcher, Caldari interdictor.
Please post your setups in this thread.

For fleet ops where you can (hopefuly) blend in and not be called prime:
H> 6 Arbalest standards, cloak, sphere launcher
M> AB, web (just in case), painter, sens.booster, passive targeter
L> co-pro II
Great as a long range, low profile anti-frig platform and for bubble and run tactics.
DO NOT TRY TO SOLO in this rig. You will pop in seconds flat

You will be idenitified, a person in the fleet will have a scanner going, set specifically to hunt out interdictors. As they represent the largest threat to your fleet. At this point the entire fitting is pointless. You just want an mwd, probe launcher, and nano. And prey you get out of the bubble before the enemy locks.

or start warping before you pop the bubble.

Hence the (hopefuly) disclaimer... 
Maybe I've just been lucky so far. Warp in, do your business and warp back out again.
Anyone targets you get out of Dodge.
I just cant imagine doing nothing but bubbling and running off to wait out the recharge timer. Kinda boring.

I've decided to train for a Flycatcher, and although it's obviously THE support ship for any fleet, I was wondering what kind of ships can you hope to solo in one?
Frigates and Interceptors and haulers of course... are t1 cruisers possible?
Any experiences appreciated!

Speaking as a Caracal pilot a properly rigged T1 Cruiser will most likely munch you for breakfast if you're alone. Even with help I don't see you surviving if he's determined.

T1 cruisers? Very doubtful, but maybe if the cruiser is mining...LOL... Since the prices have come down, I decided to try soloing in a flycatcher for something new and different... 6x Std Launcher II's w/Precision Bloodclaws, Sensor Booster 2, Med Shield Extender II, Multispec II, Warp Disruptor, Webber, 1mn AB II, MAPC (make sure you carry regular Bloodclaws)

My setup:
6x Arby Rockets
1x Bubble Launcher
2x x5 webbers
1x 20km scram
1x T2 med extender
1x Catalyzed MWD
1x inertial stab
I use this for solo pvp. I gank any frig-sized craft, pods, haulers, and barges. It works really well for solo work, you just have to chose your fights and not get too ambitious. Deaths mostly caused by attacking anything over cruiser size, heavy NOS, and T2 light drones ;D

How quick do flycatchers turn? is it more the less the same as a T1 destroyer or slower?

In my experience flying both, besides the obvious fact Interdictors are far faster then Destroyers, they turn better as well. Like a heavy frigate, say for example a Kessie with no nanos or inerts. You still get that 'small boat' feel when flying one which I like :)
And my best victory so far in my Flycatcher was against two Thrashers and a Rifter. It was close, d*mn close and I fine tuned my setup ever so slightly afterwards so if it happens again it will not be so close.
As for my setup...what's been posted here is along the right lines, but I won't go into details, still at war and no sense making good intel easy for the enemy.

I quite like this setup, rockets seem to be the only way to go if you want to fit decent stuff in meds.
What somewhat concerns me for when soloing with that setup would be ceptors/T1 frigs orbiting you out of web range. I guess in those cases you just bail to gate or? I mean my rocket max range with T1 seems to be slightly above 15k, not to mention the rockets dont go fast enough to catch a fast ceptor anyhow i guess.

You could always try the Kite n Katch. Move away at top speed and wait for them to chase you...then when they catch up, turn, web, kill. It can take a lot of practice before it works right...and often just wont work at all against an experienced pilot. Most people just buy longer range webs instead.

enjoying this myself:
6 arby rockets, bubble (may put a second one on if i get the CPU somehow)
MWD, 20k, 2 x 7.5k, web
nano
not had a hauler get away yet.
EDIT: if you do want to get in close to a target, get a 20k point on ASAP, then when u move in put 1 of the 7.5's on the target and remove the 20 (unless u think they are stabbed), saves cap. just remember if u need to get outside 7.5 to put the 20k back on

a solo setup.
6 rocket t2
clock /a gun of your choice and distance
buble /a gun
scram 20-24k
small injector
1mn mwd
tracking disruptor/weber
tracking disruptor
ballistic control or sumthing els as nano(-mas) or damage control
if you go for a cloakingdivise , have it turned off and use your injector to reaktivat it.
it can solo kill allot of ships that have tracking or range problems. any frig, if your speed is good enough and you know wot you do you can easily kill a saber, both you and the saber cant tank much, you have the advantage of shooting him before he can shoot you so by time he gets in range he is half down

High
1 x Sphere Launcher
5 x Arby Rocket Launchers
Mids
1 x MWD II
1 x X5 Web
1 x Small C5-L Shield Booster
1 x Barton Cap Recharger
1 x Med Shield Extender II
Lows
1 x Nanofiber
This setup is all for fleet battles where there are usualy a few people with a dedicated dictor setting for thir overview. It is all about survivability: warp in, drop your probe and get out alive.
It has a T2 shield extender obviously to increase hit points. The T2 MWD increases speed and has a lower sig penalty. That helps you to get out of your bubbles faster. My tests also show that the nanofiber gives the lowest time to sprint out of the bubble.
The shield extender allows recharging the shields to minimise turn around time.
Lastly the web, cap recharger and rocket launchers are pretty straightforward.

I have started training the few remaining skills needed for a flycatcher and the probe launcher, and Im trying to think up a decent solo/small gang setup. Does anyone who flys one know if its possible to fit a full rack of T2 Standard Launchers and still fit MWD and tackle gear in the mids? It would probably require a MAPC in the lows, but I probably have good enough Nav skills to offset the loss of a speedmod.
So how tight is it with a MAPC and Eng 5, Ele 5, AWU 3? Or is it not even worth it? or are rockets better for solo/small gang? I also have Nav 5, Acc Control 4 and Highspeed 4 (Evasive and Spaceship command 5 as well), hows the maxspeed/agility without a speed mod or rigs?

i've been using the flycatcher for almost half a year and whe i'm not using it to pick up salvage i load it out as such:
6x t2 standard missiles
2x small nos
1x t2 small shield booster
3x various t2 shield resist amps
1x t2 ab
1x t2 pdu
the biggest thing i've killed in it was a pithatis assaulter. it took FOREVER but he never got my shields lower than half.
plus, with the black paint job, the thing is kinda sexy... |

so you just mainly rely on bubbles to stop target from warping? Dictors seem like terrible ships to PvE in...

My basic setup mostly T2 does pritty good in gate camps but this really isn't a ship or setup for solo play in my opinion. Also I don't put faction on due to cost of them I just use T2 or named instead.
6 x T2 Rocket Launchers
1 x Warp Probe Launcher
1 x T2 1mn MWD
1 x T2 Sensor Boost
1 x T2 Scram 24km
2 x webs of choice
1 x CPU
Spare ammo and Probes in Cargo and I use Thorn T2 Javs for range just in case.

1x Fleeting 20k Scram
1x X5 Web
1x MSE II
1x Sensor Booster II
