Hi everyone,
what ship do you recommend as good, cost effective anti-interceptor platform ?
Should be T1 if possible (ship chassis and weapon type) or limited T2 (e.g. weapon type with T2 special ammo). Insurance should cover most of the cost of a ship loss and young pilots with a limited amount of skill-points should be able to fly it, so go light on the special T2 ship variants. Limited EW capability a bonus. Low cost on BPO and low mineral needs for crafting the ship being important points too.
Typical target is a pimped interceptor using T2 ammo. Scenario: spamming low cost ships against such targets is acceptable.
Caracal with T1/T2 Assault Missile launchers and (precision) standard missiles is a possible favorite. But I am sure you can come up with other, maybe even better combos of ship chassis and weapon types.
Have fun 
Ian

Too expensive, too slow, usually taken apart easily by interceptor wolfpack unless heavily tanked.
However, sometimes yields spectacular results if intys are overconfident or stupid or surprised. 3-5 dead intys on average.
I am thinking more about the "less than 30 mill" range of ships+fittings+insurance.
Have fun

Well, cost effective "Hauler of Doom" designs as interceptor bait would be appreciated too. Anything that gets the inty pilots drooling for an easy kill and survives long enough for the gangmates to warp in and decimate the inty pack. Survival of bait ship a bonus, but not necessary. EW and anti-propulsion on hauler being a nice touch if possible.
Have fun - we do

Has anyone tried any of the auto-target modules (plus target painter) for a quick/near instant inty lock ?

They do. But have you ever seen a pilot with low number of skillpoints fly a carrier ?
The ships suggested in this thread , however, can be used by such a pilot.
