Shoele Lialos Gallente Elite United Corp Antigo Dominion	Posted - 2006.11.06 21:52:00 - [1] Which race's Interdictor is generally considered the best for the job? I have an alt that is going to train for Interdictor's, so I have some time to decide which Frigate V to train for, to be sure, but I thought I'd ask the question.
Arknox Minmatar ArcadiaCorp Marines	Posted - 2006.11.06 21:58:00 - [2] the cheapest one ---------- ....it's great having a original sig isn't it?
Susa Ou	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:00:00 - [3] its a matter of preference really, but generally the Flycatcher is considered the best due to its use of missles, the explotion radius bonus to missles and whatnot. Its agility is quite bad so getting up to speed can be a problem, but overall, its the easiest to use. Other then that, the Saber is popular for its speed and agility. Overall, just be prepared to die. . .interdictors are usually the first to be targeted when busting a gatecamp.
Sonorra Baki	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:19:00 - [4] I agree somewhat with "the cheapest", and flycatcher is somewhat cheap at 15 mil compared to sabres 20-24. Rocket launchers are also cheaper than projectiles. That said, i prefer sabre, because its alot faster, and in a 2x nano setup it will catch medium speed ceptors. I havnt fought against other dictors, but i generally think that sabre will kill all the others. It can field 7x 200mm Autos, with medium extender, mwd, scram and web, while going ~4km/sec depending on gang. I wouldn't be in any frig on the receiving end of that. Remember allways to stay at max speed, and dont get webbed by anything. Its also best to not agress right away, so you can evaluate the situation and jump if primary. I try to stay takling at 20K for the fights, after bubbles are deployed, and close in for pods when i consider the situation somewhat safe.
Aegis Osiris Gallente Demonic Retribution Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:26:00 - [5] The Sabre, for the reasons the last poster gave; Speed, Damage, Flexibility, and Speed (did I say Speed?) :) 'Dictors are actually much harder to kill in smaller squad actions then most people give them credit for. You just need to realize that you are worth much more to your gang alive then dead, and pick you moments. The Sabre's speed is an enormous boon in that. ________________________________________________ This thread does not exist
Old Geeza The Retirement Home	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:32:00 - [6] Sabre. Sabre + 2 local hull nanos = win. Sabre + 2 kali local hull inerstial stabs = omfg uberwin. Flycatcher is good, but it's a PITA to fit and accelerates like a drunk slug. _______________________________________ Sign the petition against jump queues!
Sir Drake	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:33:00 - [7] Another reason for the sabre is the alpha strike. With 7x 280mm t2 plus ships bonus it does some nasty damage per salvo.
niko86 Quantum Industries Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.11.06 22:39:00 - [8] I really enjoy using my Flycatcher its cheap to buy and fit and is quite effective solo or in small gangs depending on the targets, and it does it interdicting role well. But i agree its not the most agile and it loses out to the sabre in damage. If i didnt have most of my weapon related sp in missles i would train up projectiles since i can fly a sabre, although the price is going up everytime i look at the market - Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri
FFGR Maza Nostra Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.06 23:41:00 - [9] Amarr : Don't fly them Caldari : Good for solo and killing enemy ceptors. Don't use it if you want mobility. Gallente : Quite fast with full nanofiber setup, decent damage output but you have to forget speed if you want damage/tank. Minmatar : The fastest one before and after Kali (with the inertia stabilizer change). Also the most balanced between damage and tank. I don't think that I need to remind that MWD is essential to these ships. _______ Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
Xianthar Sha Kharn Corp Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.11.06 23:52:00 - [10] Originally by: Arknox the cheapest one qft, they are flying coffins, get the cheapest one you can fly. -xian
Kunming Amarr adeptus gattacus Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.11.06 23:57:00 - [11] Speed is the only defence of destroyers so saber clearly wins this round. The price tag wasnt good enough of an indication? Check vagabond prices and compare with sacrilege, sometime
Deva Blackfire DAB RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.11.07 00:26:00 - [12] Sabre - its just hell of a ship easily beating all others (ok... maybe catcher with ECM can hold its ground :D).
SilentVixen	Posted - 2006.11.07 01:26:00 - [13] Edited by: SilentVixen on 07/11/2006 01:27:05 Interdictors cannot have a tank of any description no matter what anyone says... Therefore you have to fly it like an intercepter using speed to tank. That means you need the following. - Smallest Signature Radius - Fastest Speed - Ability to kill off drones Therefore the only interdictor worth considering is the Sabre. It has the fastest speed, the smallest sig radius and tech 2 small auto cannons with barrage will rip any drones apart in seconds. There is a reason its so expensive and it isn't because its the nicest looking... Just fit it with best named nano's, Tech 2 MWD and get at least a mil in Navigation skills and your good to go. The thing to remember with interdictors is they are not tacklers... the idea is to drop a bubble and then run far far far away. Let the bubble tackle for you. Thats all you need to know, happy flying. End
Gordon Red SteelVipers YouWhat	Posted - 2006.11.07 01:32:00 - [14] The Heretic is the worst Interdictor, because it is the slowest and the boni are strange (more launcher slots as turrets and it got more turret boni as for missles). 5xT2 standard launcher with precision are nasty enough expect to die anyway, so really expensive weapons are... you can buy a Heretic for 10m and lower => cheap to replace, when you use a "one use" fitting.
Pestillence Chav-Scum	Posted - 2006.11.07 01:49:00 - [15] Originally by: Sir Drake Another reason for the sabre is the alpha strike. With 7x 280mm t2 plus ships bonus it does some nasty damage per salvo. How do you fit that?
goodby4u	Posted - 2006.11.07 02:02:00 - [16] Flycatcher:lots of cpu(needed badly)but only 1 low,the most missile slots. sabre:most guns good speed,lacks cpu. heretic:i wouldnt fly this one but...Ok speed ok cpu ok amount of missile slots,ok all around. Eris:good all around.
Awox Minmatar Finite Horizon The Red Skull	Posted - 2006.11.07 04:14:00 - [17] Originally by: Pestillence Originally by: Sir Drake Another reason for the sabre is the alpha strike. With 7x 280mm t2 plus ships bonus it does some nasty damage per salvo. How do you fit that? If this guy let's you know how he fits 7 280 t2 on a Sabre give me a call... please! - Logoffski Name & SHAME
Mar vel Caldari H.Y.D.R.A. GoonSwarm	Posted - 2006.11.07 04:55:00 - [18] first response was correct: buy the cheapest one all dictors must die thinking back on ship losses over the last 3 months, almost every ship I have lost has been to an interdictor flying in gang ops. q: where's the nerf bat / balance fairie for dictors? The fact that you can shoo them is useless if you can't go anywhere - by the time you target and engage, you are dead because you're jammed, scrammed, webbed and bubbled. Probably one of the most grossly un-balanced things I have seen in Eve. Thanks for yet another I-Win button that has not antithesis. Flame away.
Hllaxiu Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.11.07 05:33:00 - [19] Originally by: Pestillence Originally by: Sir Drake Another reason for the sabre is the alpha strike. With 7x 280mm t2 plus ships bonus it does some nasty damage per salvo. How do you fit that? IIRC it involves no speed mod, named MAPCs and AWU5. --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Sir Drake	Posted - 2006.11.07 06:29:00 - [20] Originally by: Pestillence Originally by: Sir Drake Another reason for the sabre is the alpha strike. With 7x 280mm t2 plus ships bonus it does some nasty damage per salvo. How do you fit that? 2x aux power core in the lows and you have enough PG to fit them. AWU helps some but i dont think lvl5 is necessary (i got that though).
Ishana Minmatar The Black Rabbits	Posted - 2006.11.07 07:35:00 - [21] Sabre hands down 7x150mm II, sphere launcher mwd II, disruptor, webber, multispectral (probably tracking disruptor after kali) small repper II, 400mm nano plate. _________________________________________________________
RogueWing Vanguard Frontiers Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.11.07 08:56:00 - [22] I have found that for me the Flycatcher is the best for defensive ops where you work close to home. The amount of midslots makes it a smaller ECM platform that can help support your gangmates. For offensive actions where you are going hunting, the Sabre really shines. Only in ASCN would someone consider the solution to being short an office to be "Drop another Outpost"
Fogy Caldari Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.07 10:06:00 - [23] I can fly saber, catcher, and eris. My personal favourite would be the saber. but i tend to prefere the Eris for bigger op's why? Less than half the price, 4 midds to chuck in nano's or my favourite settup: 2x probe launchers 1x mwd 20km scram 3x nano's 1x co-pro Beeing able to dropp 2 boubbles on a hostile fleet.. PRICELESS! Saber for small gang's though. I actually trained up to dictors so i could fly a 12mill flycatcher insted of a 22mill crow.. Cheers!

FFGR Maza Nostra Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.07 10:35:00 - [24] Quote: Interdictors cannot have a tank of any description no matter what anyone says... by tank it doesn't mean that you have a big-ass tankage and you sit there and tank it all, but rather a passive tank (plate/extender) in order to survive 1-2 volleys more and get closer to the enemy. @Mar vel : Fly them and then comment. With over 5-6km/s you can easily get out of your own bubble. Ignorance is not a bliss m'kay ? _______ Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
Kyozoku Loot	Posted - 2006.11.07 10:40:00 - [25] The eris because it's the only one that's pink.

Eris:good all around. Um you sure with sabre and heretic? O_o I fly heretic exclusively and have MAJOR cpu problems on it. On the other hand ill train up sabre soon (atm only playing with qfit) and AC setups with mixed 150/200mm, sphere, extender, mwd, web, scram STILL leaves me 13pg and over 40cpu to fill last 2 lows (prolly gyro + nanofiber will go there).

All IDs have fitting problems apart from the Sabre. That is due to the CPU and grid use of ACs. _______ Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
Cadman Weyland ISS Navy Task Force	Posted - 2006.11.07 14:14:00 - [28] Originally by: Ishana Sabre hands down 7x150mm II, sphere launcher mwd II, disruptor, webber, multispectral (probably tracking disruptor after kali) small repper II, 400mm nano plate. Ohhh yes, fear the mighty Ishana and her Sabre Personally i like the Heretic if im in a gang, makes for a lovely pod popper. Though its no where as fast as Sabre. Just expect to die flying a Dictor.
Kurt Chaos	Posted - 2006.11.07 15:05:00 - [29] I think the Sabre needs its powergrid increased so it is the same as the thrasher, as it is arty's arent an option for the sabre which is a shame because not everyone wants to use AC's on a sabre.
Mihae Queens of the Stone Age Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2006.11.07 19:39:00 - [30] What the guy over me said.
