You can barely engage a pod with them because their fire power is negligable.
You have obviously never flown a Taranis.
Yup, good guess 
I'm now on my 3rd
Both deaths were due to my own wrecklessness and I killed the intended targets so the loss was not in vain.

Frigates suck anyways. Why would you want to waste 7 million on one anyways?

Good guess?!?!  You insult me Woetra!
I'm now in my second. My first baby got fried by 3 Megathrons.

Mine got splatted by 2 caracals.
I got one of them to the point where his skills were holding it together then noticed that the 2nd one had a sensor booster and that bright glowing blob 3mm from my ship was no signal flare

The already low Scan resolution and slow tracking speed of the BS's guns is what makes
Interceptors are counter-frigate ships. Take a look at Caldari bombers with 5 and 6 missile launcher slots. When they arrive fleet battles should look like this: battleships fight each other, bombers try to kill battleships and interceptors try to intercept bombers. Interceptor evasive abilities like their speed and low signature are not to give them chances to fight BS, but to stop BS's to fire at them. In a such battle battleships won't waste their time locking and firing small frigates flying around, but if there is no other targets except few interceptors their death is just a matter of time.
Take a look at Vigil, Griffin, Blackbird or any other EW-ship stats. Their signature radiuses are much bigger than other ships because of electronic equipment they carry and EM radiation from it. In spite of intys are scarmbling BS's well, I think they wasn't supposed to carry EW systems at all. Perhaps we will see a patch soon, where fitting scramblers, ECM and other EW devices will increase signature of the ship dynamicly.

I would never pay 11mil for a FRIG
interceptor or whatever ! no way.
My rifter will get me to speeds of 20k m/s + and my lock time is under 1 sec.
Why would I need a interceptor. And I have a rifter bpo.
So for me to train 2 months to fly a Frig. NA
Pay more than 1mil for a frig Forget it. Not me.
Supply or demand I dont care. Ripe off.
Thanks

And you can ask Skillz, he locked my Rifter with his buddies and webbed me and I still made it though the gate without any damage, and they did hit me 3 times.
Oh Skillz nice Malediction and you did lock me fast.
BUT that tempest cannot hit hard when your fast.
But I give you a nice try.

Iterceptors are meant to intercept Battleships... If you had the interceptor equiped properly you wouldn't have been disposed of so fast. So next time your in an Interceptor and see a Tempest, do the smart thing and run.
if interceptors are meant to intercept battleships then my shuttle is meant to intercept frigates 
Why u people lose time saying things like that Interceptors aren't more than better frigates, and as better frigate... their are good to intercept frigates... now... why you all would like to intercept a BS?
Makes no sence... if you say! yeah I use my interceptor to intercept a BS ...
Now u would make some sence... if you said, we use interceptors in group wars or in group to intercept a BS .... But even with standard frigates u are able to intercept BS
BTW if a BS as a chance of firing at you (coz u are alone intercepting a BS)... you will see the good interceptor firework display... and then you will say good bye to 5m-7m Isk of just a better frigate called interceptor
The advantages from frigates to interceptors are minimal and interceptors aren't meant to intercept BS... they are meant to work in groups like frigates does... and that makes a good sense.

Maybe I should go to bed.

Yep they do die ... but good lord are they fun before then ;) I love my Crow, its a mega-breacher on performance enhancing steroids and it does literally murder other frigates and unwary cruisers. The speed, additional flexibility with mediums, and harder lock time gives you an edge. Thats all it is "an edge" and its important to remember it doesn't make you immortal. (as I found out to my cost fooling around with 2 CA Megathrons ;)
But I'd say the price is well worth it. It can take you anywhere in eve past any blockade and then let you cause trouble in a serious way when you get there. For me the Elite Frigate means that alliance territorial claims are irrelevent and that anyone who wants to wage a guerilla war can do it with great success.
10m for that is a bargain. Buy one! fly to curse and hunt megacyte indies, you'll soon recoup the investment ...
