come on a corm sniping fleet :) and it will cure your doubts

except generate so many more timers that the pure chaff makes targeting the actual point of defense impossible

when you "hell camp" us...we just move...

If the interceptor is flying at 100-150km, 1 celestis can make is useless.

ah yes the cormorant with its staggering 80-100km range

This is the core of the issue. As a sov haver of any size, I should be able to use the geography of my holdings in its defense. Being able to deny entry to my holdings should pay dividends in the security of my empire. Interceptors ignore all geography because, while traveling, they cannot be caught.

Interceptors also have superlative disengagement ability, which converts the entire process of defending sov from defeating a gang of rabble-rousers to keepign a large group of counter-interceptors in a central location during your primetime, then dispatching them as blips pop up on the Sov Radar of choice. No actual PvP occurs in this scenario, it's just two interceptors weakly applying the sov laser to the same target in an attempt to bore each other into submission.

Alternatively, I guess you could park a single supercap on every possible defensive target during your primetime. Thanks to fatigue, this is more viable than you'd think.

you don't capture command nodes, you go to other systems and generate more initial RF timers while the defenders are busy whacking pimples

complaining about posting is usually the first sign that you've lost control of the conversation

Holy **** you're bad. I could link you a ship that owns interceptors up to 150km, and you'll still moan like a stuck pig.

And you know what? I'm gonna do just that. Behold the mighty eagle:

Eagle: http://imgur.com/KYZDvc5
Eagle vs. MWD Stiletto: http://imgur.com/v537Sv8
185 DPS at 120km
60 DPS at 150km.
Uses thorium if you're wondering (don't be bad by using spike).

If, by some miracle, the inty locks at 150km, it's fit is so bad that those 60dps will massacre it.

Please. Stop. Being. Bad.

Combat probes will land it in engagement range every time. 100km is plenty when you land within 50-70km of your target.

While the Trolleceptor thing itself is a useless rage it adresses another issue. Currently the majority of Sov Null systems is worth ****.
Alliances hold entire regions to have access to 10% of their systems in which people actually can rat at isk/h rates significantly above highsec levels.

People are mad because noone wants to life or be in the -0.1 or -0.2 systems because it adds a lot of effort while not giving access to anything worth much more in terms of income abilitiy.
So People hold large chunks of sov to use a very few parts of it now rage because the parts they dont use would be reinforced constantly, but are effectively not worth using at all, thus have no place in occupancy based Sov.

If CCP wants occupancy based Sov to work the truesecs either need a rework, or the anomaly system does in a way that makes the majority of Sov systems worth holding, not the minority of them.

One could argue that it doesnt has any place here, but with Sov being a very complex topic we need to adress each part of it simultaneously.

However, if you continue to pose your arguments as :

We want good fights.

so one uncatchable attacker should require five or more people to counter then eh

Kiting trollceptors need LOTS of room to burn around in, putting them in the 100+km range. All you need to do to counter them is fit sensor damps. Congrats, your interceptor is now useless. "Step into my fleet's optimal range", said the Lachesis to the Crow.

this is where you've lost the thread

at no point is goonswarm federation interested in good fights

defense of our empire comes first, subjugation of those who would even think of attacking our empire comes second, subjugation of everyone else comes third

fights occasionally occur in the process of completing these two objectives but are completely tangential to our desires and goals

Combat probes will land it in engagement range every time. 100km is plenty when you land within 50-70km of your target.

Conversation? This is like a preschool tantrum!
