I am really wondering about this, an inty is a good ship and difficult to catch. Which makes it good to operate in 0.0
Sometimes I see people using it to get solo kills in 0.0. Then I am often thinking what kind of kills they get? To me it looks like an inty in 0.0 is only good to kill some haulers are another inty if your lucky, because as soon u meet something stronger like a good fitted cruiser and a small gang your bait for the cat if u hang around for to long.
So my question how good is inty in 0.0 really.? Do u get alot of hauler kills, 1 on 1 with other inty's, beat anything bigger then yoourself? And how often do u get killed, trapped in a gate camp are gang u run into?

Nope tbh barges, haulers other inties, some frigs. Oh it pays if they have 3 midslots otherwise they are restriced even further.
edit: yes killing other targets is possible just not very likely. like when my ex-corpmate took out a mining domi in his crusader solo

I would love to see a bounty pilot get some friend or an alt to pod them to collect the isk if that resulted in a two week delay before their 'personality' was uploaded to a new clone. |

From a personal perspective, it's all about picking your fights. I have personaly used a Taranis to solo kill in 0.0 a Crow, Hoarder, Vexor, Caracel and multiple frigates and shuttles.
Generaly industrials and frigates/shuttles are 'easy' to take on in pretty much any situation. The cruiser kills were against PvE fitted ships. If they were in a PvP configuration I would have probably died. As for the Crow, I managed to undock from a station just after it so was able to dictate range (i.e. get close) and nail it (plus the Crow pilot made a couple of mistakes which madde my life a lot easier).
There have been many situations where I have either said, 'Not going to fight you, certain death' or 'Let's have a look, ouch, run away!!' but only experience can teach you that.

An inty's main use is to get close fast and shut down a targets warp ability while being hard to hit so when flying solo its only real use is to nag barges and frigates before they can warp away.
If your corp/aliance is warring or on bad terms with another corp/aliance you can use inty's to warp in and pop miner's jet cans and vacate the area before getting caught.
Against cruisers and larger tho (oh and destroyers with a web and blasters) your going to want to run away fast (unless they are improperly fitted but anyone operating in 0.0 should know what they are doing).

I know a couple of people who have soloed a BS in ceptors (taranis and claw) on numerous occaisions, but that is rare. Ceptors are awesome 0.0 PvP ships, but they really aren't designed for solo IMO.

I generally don't fly anything smaller than a Cruiser when soloing in 0.0 because I don't like the thought of not being able to comfortably take out battleships. You can solo bs of course but the BS guy has to be pretty crap, even NPCers have drones/webs/smartbombs.

your best bets for kills are:
slowboating pods/shuttles, haulers without stabs (for catching haulers i prefer a 20k scram on my inty as it can atleast catch the unstabbed ones  ), t1 frigs (as long they don't use EWAR), other interceptors, baddly fit cruisers/BC/battleship ...
though interceptors like claw and taranis can also take on t1 fitted caracals (hopefully shieldtanked and not using nos that is)
regarding getting solo-kills quite easy if you don't mind ganking pods/shuttles/frigs ...
solo-fights?? quite rare ... met once a guy in geminate ... after we had a nice 1v1 he told me he was allready looking more than two weeks for some solo interceptor to engage him, but never got a fight in this time ... seems lots of intie pilots prefer to run or to fly in groups when encountering another interceptor

I will attack anything I think I can sink my teeth into without being flattened straight away, this includes Battleships. For example, I'd be foolish to even think of a 1v1 against a Dommie, but an Apoc is a far easier target for an Interceptor.
Oh, and cloaks ftw

if you want to solo in 0.0 get a good cruiser, its generally more effective and has a wider range of targets, you will lose them more often but you can lose like 10 cruisers per inty.

Piracy has a purpose and it's not really trying to fight 1 on 1 with another pvp setup pilot in 0.0. It's fun and it hones your solo skills, however you suffer more loses just for the fact it's so easy to just go out to counter a number of ships than just pirating correctly in 0.0 with smaller ships. Last time I went out soloing to fight other ships. I lost. I had a Stiletto pimped out with ECM and I was going to punk down every stupid little nub in a taranis  . Well when I found that Taranis, like I planned. He was getting his cookie cutter tactics handed to him by a freaking Stiletto. That didn't stop his inty fleet from ganking me though. Yay alliances 4tw. *coughcough*
More on topic. I took a number of inties into different n/eastern regions. I reconed them first with my handy cheetah. I found a couple of little alliance mining spots for there newer recruits who didn't seem to want to NPC for cash. I hit the recon spots pretty hard for a week in claws/stiletto's and even rifters. Picking off the little barges with hit and run tactics. Made some decent cash out of it and a fair amount of friends *cough*
Other tactics in 0.0 is the ever so nice Cloaking Inty. Sit at a popular highway cloaked with your cloaking device and play 'snatch the indy'. Works pretty decent and can be very rewarding on ransoms. However, like the above stiletto pvp story. Unless you have alts on other side, you prob get ganked by some form of group and or add.
You can do a lot in 0.0 with a inty as far as piracy. Same goes for tech 1 frigs. Wish more people did it that way but it's just to hard to do compared to other aspects of isk making. None the less, it's pretty fun and can teach you a lot about combat. Just watch out for the choke points and the ever so nice dictor camps that CCP seemed to give blobs.

Hmm I disagree with most posters above me. I will happily engage any T1/T2 frig, dessy or T1 cruiser in the game. I always feel out the teeth of the Caracals thou...so see if he is using heavies (oh joy) or T2 lights (oh damn).
It shouldn't be a problem for you to solo-kill both AFs, ceptors and cruisers - IF your learn to pick the right ones. I never touch Battleships because of the heavy NOS they often carry. No cap makes a sad ceptor...
However, the main feature of the interceptors is the ability to pick your fights. If for some reason you dont like where it's going - bugger off and find some other target.
Also - for pure adrenalin - ceptor vs. ceptor is unbeatable IMO. One of my corpmates chased a taranis for 20 mins - fighting, warping, fighting warping etc.

Intys are just fun to fly man. This last weekend I was flying with two new buddies, each in their own intys, and we had a blast. Maybe an inty wouldn't be the best thing to take when solo fighting, but it's funner than hell especially when in a wolf pack of 'em and with all your buddies.
Also, Intys have OUTSTANDING scan resolutions, so catching those greasy pods are MUCH easier when in an interceptor. And oh yeah, SOLO HAULER KILLS FTW!!!

If you operate in enemy 0.0 what they are dictates your best bet ship.
If they run around in npc BSs and cruisers a lot and dont camp chokepoints a lot get a fast tech I cruiser or even AF.
If they camp a lot but have mining ops and hauling traffic get an inty with many points and a nano if possible.
If they have peeps looking for solo fun set up a 1v1 inty and go looking for duels, its great fun.
If they are crap at guarding their space but they have a lot of NPCing BSs and solo pvpers with good skills running around then perhaps consider an autopest or blasterthron or NOS Domi... etc etc etc
As a general rule and as things stand atm I d say a Pilgrim with perhaps a caldari racial or two [run from the odd autopest] and the time honoured classic Vagabond are your best bet for hit and run behind the lines pvp.

Something like 90% of my kills in my sig are solo in a 'ranis. Lots of solo ceptor fights (well in a ranis in web range, most arnt really fights at all :P) Stain is usually good for that if you know where to look. Toying with ASCN/AXE gangs who chase me (taking on an AC crusader with 46% armor and winning... yarr). Oh and a handful of Hulk's and 1 very stupid AFK apoc with a core x-type repper.

From the opposite side of the street--
My other char was solo mining rares in 0.0, in a Dom, with no weapons, and was armor tanking a dbl BS rat spawn when 4 intys warped in and scrambled him-hehe- he mentioned it to some corp m8's and they asked if he could tank them too, until they got there- his answer(mine) was yes until hell froze over. Only haveing some drones he launched his Wasp I's and watched them kill 2 of the 4 inties, the other 2 ran away-- LOL

Yeh it kind of relates to what I mentioned in this thread, the domi pilot my ex-corpmate got had a full complement of ogre I. There is a lesson there somewhere.
