First the changes:
Heretic base speed change 315m/s (420m/s atm)
Flycatcher base speed change 335m/s (445m/s atm)
Sabre base speed change 340m/s (455m/s atm)
Eris base speed change 325m/s (435m/s atm)
As I joined the game I wanted to fly those ships, because I like the small ships and I considered them as THE ship class for me.
Some month later I finally has been able to fly them, but I had to learn that they are
very****ile and die very easily (even with their speed they have atm).
Nerver than less I enjoyed them to fly... until now.
Now they will die from nearly everything out there (you can get away, you can armor them enough, their sig is far too great even with AB).
WHY do you have nerved them now (to death)? - they weren't overpowered at all!
Because otherwise your shiny new heavy interdictors wouldn't be flown?
The script for the new generator is great and for a short time (until everybody else managed to scamble your prey) the bubble without the script is not that bad.
You are nerving everything that is fun in the game atm, until we fly all the same ship + setting. Atm you are making a lot of people angry all at the same time.
And one other question, do you REALLY fly those ships and knowing what you do?!?

I fly both. Interceptors and Interdictors.
My Interceptors flying 1-2k faster as any Interdictor. I don't see the need to "steal" every other Interdictor now ~1k speed. Only Sabres (I am also able to fly them, so no jealousy) are a pain in the ass for Interceptors (speed+tank+damage+web+scramble).
A HAC or a well fitted BS can rip me apart in no time and most HACs are as fast as mine Dictor. Now there is not much of a chance to escape (in meaning of to fly away).

IMHO they nerved the dictors, because too much people got killed from a Sabre.
All other dictors are far inferior and getting also spanked.

1. Its a larger and heavier ship than a inty, and therefore should go slower.
2. Racial battleships need racial cruiser 4, so by your logic I guess that means that a BS should be faster than a cruiser.
3. Your 'dictor is Primary because 'dictors are so effective. If they were less effective, they wouldn't be as much of a threat and they might not get called primary so often.
to 1. but my Crusader (7k) can "tank" far more damage as my Heretic (5k), so if the Dictor has to be slower (3,7k on the testserver), then something has to be done that make it live longer versus bigger ships (lower sig or something else). I hardly survive an aproach to a sniper group with the speed that the Dictor has atm + their immense sig(with MWD) and with that lowered speed, even a warp in + bubble action is a one way flight!
to 3. Dictors aren't "effective", they can drop a bubble that's it. (the sabre can do a lot more, but versus a Cruiser still inferior)
The main problem for an interceptor is to fly alone (no gang bonus) and meet a ganged-up interdictor (gangbonus + perhaps a skirmish module)...

Interceptors aren't bad at all, you have to know how to fly them properly and you can't allow yourself to make big mistakes. Ceptorcombat is one of the few fields that require skills on the pilot side.
Sorry, but most people have not the right hand to fly an interceptor good and doing it only in the meantime to skill up for their HAC and drop the interceptor quickly.
Only the enthusiasts flying interceptors on the long term and those are the people that skilling further to the interdictor.
I would like to see a sig reduction bonus per level for the interdictor as it is granted for the interceptor. Then I could live with the speed loss somehow.

In fact, most dictors will be SLOWER than a speed fit cruiser.
Perfect reason to fly the heavy interdictors, because they are CRUISER... => CCP won
Imagine a Devoter with his 7 low slots and it's good base speed => speed+tank (ok, not much speed, if you use the sphere, but you use it only for a short time, to get the prey locked down)
