Did anybody realize that interceptors don't have cargo? No reloading in space.
They are just very fast stike ships.
Warp in, fire (preferably missiles) and warp out.
They do have cargo space, it's just missing from the info window. Don't remember how much exactly, but there where some chaos people discusing it in an other thread. |

hmmmm funny how no one mentioned speed.... The Minmatar one has a BASE speed of 475 0o. One of the Amarr ones had a base speed of 455.
You toss in Navigation 4 or 5, perhaps an overdrive or two and slap on an mwd?!?!? I don't think there will be a turret in the game that has hopes of tracking you as you advance on them. Not to mention the ease of outrunning any missiles fired at you.
I think these interceptors will be a fun ship to fly and raise some hell with current frigs and even be a pain to some of the lower tier cruisers.

I actualy did mention speed...
But it's not THAT much faster then the fastest Minmatar frigats. Interceptors don't have any bonus to speed from ship-skills, Minmatar frigats do. So it even things out a litle in the speed aspect. |

It will be a good ship to scramble/jam/web someone. Just warp in. Almost instant lock on anything bigger then a frigate, scramble/web and warp out. And probably noone (exept other frigates) will be able to stop you (lock you).

I'm still expecting these to be good anti-bomber ships and frig to frig warfare.
They won't last during battles of attrition with heavier craft though...
I'm guessing we're going to see traditional RTS layout
Frigates
- Normal (general use)
Interceptors (anti-bomber/fast attack)
Bombers (anti-capital)
Gunships (heavy frigates/anti-frigate)
Then we'll probably see specialized Cruiser and Battleship types too. Ships with greatly decreased CPU but many weapon mounts, and with improved scanning (i.e. "Gunship" cruisers with lots of small weapons to take out smaller ships) or cruisers with extremely upgraded weaponry but with slow fire (acting as grouped anti-Battleship weaponry, but highly ineffective against fast cruisers)
I'm too much of an RTS fan

I might be wrong . . . but I believe tracking takes into account the signature radius of the target ship . . . with the -10% to signature radius trying to hit interceptor will be like trying to hit a fly with a sledge hammer.
Also, +30% damage? Those 150mm Prototype Gauss guns do pretty steady damage of about 60-80 hp . . . +30% and super hi small weapon ROF? They will be killer.
