Endless Wrath	Posted - 2008.02.05 15:57:00 - [1] Is there any point to training up interceptors for pirating? If so, any advice on set-ups?
Cpt Fina Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2008.02.05 18:23:00 - [2] No, it's impossible.
PCaBoo RennTech SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.05 18:25:00 - [3] Originally by: Cpt Fina No, it's impossible. this is true ________________________________ Stop nerfing everything!
Spei Prodetor	Posted - 2008.02.05 18:48:00 - [4] it is possible and pretty viable but to be honost its cheaper using other ships that are capable of dispatching more worth while targets. Eg: a cruiser is more capable of success in piracy then a ceptor unless of course your working in groups =)
Stephannus Calimben mUfFiN fAcToRy Sex Panthers	Posted - 2008.02.05 18:56:00 - [5] the big question is what are you going to use an interceptor for? belt pirating? the problem with this is that they don't really do enough dps to be effective. an assault frigate is probably better if you wanna go the elite frigate route. most people like using t1 cruisers though just because they're cheap and look good on the killboards (and not so bad if you lose them) gatecamping? again, even with logistics you run into the problem that they very nearly get alpha striked by gate guns. assault frigates are quite a bit tougher, and you can make them lock more or less as fast. however, again you're better off training up for a lachesis, huggin, or HIC if you want to be the tackler. so long answer...not that i can think of ______________ ...mmm fire... ______________
maCH'EttE Veto.	Posted - 2008.02.05 19:16:00 - [6] I think around 50% of my total kills are in a Crow. It's a great solo ship and perfect for long 'road trips', plus every gang should have one. Personally, I think they're more than capable ships. If you're trying to take on another experienced PVPer in anything larger than a Cruiser, you probably won't break their tank though. However, having said that, I've solo'd many, many Battlecruisers and even the odd Battleship in the Crow. I would have to say, it's probably my second favorite ship, currently. Originally by: Devil Hanzo (ISD) I got pwned!

What maCH'EttE said, the amount of fun you can have in an interceptor and its usefullness to a gang far outweigh the cons imo.
Marcus TheMartin Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2008.02.05 19:46:00 - [8] I have the worst luck in a solo ceptor all I find are drone ships or missile spamming ships (I fly turret ceptors @_@)
Dark Avatar Caldari Ballistic Void	Posted - 2008.02.05 19:53:00 - [9] You can pirate very well with an interceptor. They are highly underrated. All those that say you cant really dont know what they are talking about. Our corp specialise in it If you want to know more, look me up ingame. D.A For you, the day I rolled into your system and killed your ace pilots was a most memorable day. For me, it was Tuesday...
Endless Wrath	Posted - 2008.02.05 20:06:00 - [10] Thanks for all the responses. Basically I'm thinking of training up on them to help my corp with tackling, I was just wondering if they are any good for anything else since training for them will take me a while.

Someone had a bad experience --- Inties are very good for tackling. Even more dangerous if you have a pack of them too - even 3-4 inties are good for taking down a battleship. The key to survival is to keep your speed up and break that 6k barrier. Dont ever use an inty that relies on rockets or blasters. Try to fight between 16-23km.

Regards, D.A So... no rocket Maledictions or Blasteranises? Other people have said that they do well with these ships, though of course you're likely going to die a lot more.... ________________
PCaBoo RennTech SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.05 22:35:00 - [17] don't listen to him. He's only talking about his limited knowledge of Crows. Rocket Crows are very capable, if you invest the skillpoints. Otherwise, stick to standards. ________________________________ Stop nerfing everything!
doctorstupid2 Blood Corsair's Blood Blind	Posted - 2008.02.06 00:08:00 - [18] don't forget, children, SMART PEOPLE WITH GOOD SETUPS AREN'T THE ONES FARMING LOW SEC BELTS. Just because a vexor should kill a blasterranis doesn't mean it has any chance in hell when piloted by Johnny Everynoob. MOVIES: Deadspace Deadspace 2
Corstaad	Posted - 2008.02.06 00:20:00 - [19] Right and even more reason not assume there all nubs. Thats why I won't fly a close range ceptor, it basically asking to get killed by a rifter.
Lithel Amarr The Soviet Galactic Union	Posted - 2008.02.06 00:35:00 - [20] Oh yeah, Interceptors can definitely be used for piracy. Probably not solo piracy so much, but definitely if you have 2 or 3 of them. I got ganked by two interceptors during my noob days. I was flying an amarr bc, and could not hit them worth anything. It took a while for them to bring me down, but they did it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Corstaad	Posted - 2008.02.06 00:37:00 - [21] Yah I should of said solo close range ceptors .
The Comatorium Caldari The Ghazi	Posted - 2008.02.06 03:34:00 - [22] 2 things you need, Gist A-type MWD and Warp Disruptor, all the rest in t2... you're good to go. 1 of the 6 modules has a t1 = worthless... Inties are thin red line ships, pay attention to the detail. Don't just fly it, worship it. ------------------------- Quote: Mining skills just makes your character go noob longer.

Thats why I won't fly a close range ceptor, it basically asking to get killed by a rifter. WTB a rifter that can solo a short range inty It depends on the inty. A rifter could do a claw. The lack of a 3rd midslot means the rifter has a chance to dictate range as the claw can't fit a web. But then, like most things, it's highly situational and depends on the pilots. -
Stuart Price Caldari Havoc Inc Blood Blind	Posted - 2008.02.06 05:08:00 - [25] There's no truth whatsoever in the rumour that interceptors are shiny good for chasing off/distracting Falcons in addition to being able to tackle. No truth at all. "I got soul but I'm not a soldier"
Julius Romanus Blood Corsair's Blood Blind	Posted - 2008.02.06 05:26:00 - [26] Having the initiative is the first step to a kill. Being able to tackle the target is the second. Being able to kill the targets drones is in there somewhere Soloing in an inty comes down to weather or not you can break the targets tank. If your fitting lets you do that, the ship its self comes with the ability to do the rest.
Dark Avatar Caldari Ballistic Void	Posted - 2008.02.06 07:50:00 - [27] I used to fly a rocket crow with a plate on. Its pro's - It can survive a smartbombing bs long enough to get out of range. It can solo most other inties ONLY if you know what you are doing. However, for common piracy, short range inties have a short life expectancy. These days there are so many counters, its not even funny. Most missile boats will toase a short range inty. Some frigates, like Kestrel and Rifter will get the better of a short range inty. Neuts are a pain. Web's seem to be bringers of death. - meaning some can track you, or simply drone you to death with lights and mediums, which will track you while webbed. Also being webbed means you can be attacked by smartbombs. So, for inty 1-1's close range is good. For general purpose, especially if you are new to the interceptor, I would stick to a ranged attack. Someone back there said that flying an interceptor is an art. He is right. It is D.A For you, the day I rolled into your system and killed your ace pilots was a most memorable day.

ry ry StateCorp Insurgency	Posted - 2008.02.06 09:22:00 - [28] Originally by: Stakhanov WTB a rifter that can solo a short range inty WTS plate, web + t2 guns? Signature removed. Too large and flashing signatures are not really permitted. Navigator
Dirk Magnum Spearhead Endeavors	Posted - 2008.02.06 09:30:00 - [29] Rifter can't dictate range against a Claw. Claw may lack a web but it's much faster with a MWD going, even without additional speed mods filling the lows. You could fit a nano if you want, but put a tracking comp or damage mod, or something else down there. That said, a Rifter could potentially win that fight. The problems with dictors in solo piracy is that they run out of cap for Ewar too quick. You must keep your speed up to stay alive, and you'll need a MWD to do that, since your targets will catch you if you only have a burner and they've got a MWD/web. MWDs burn through ceptor cap really quick, and getting into 2-point scram range also makes you vulnerable to webs. That means you'll need a 1-point scrammer and that of course uses up more cap per cycle. The Crow is probably the best ceptor for actual combat solo, since you don't have to worry about tracking with missiles. But yes, ceptor pirating can be done. You just need to be aware of its limitations and be extremely selective in which fights you start.
The Comatorium Caldari The Ghazi	Posted - 2008.02.06 20:43:00 - [30] I got a Gallente Freighter to Armor while he was flying unescorted in Outer rings (rolls eyes) with my crow. Tackled him and waited for a gank party to come and help but after the 35 minutes it took to gather, fit and make the 12 jumps needed... No more shield on the Whale. ------------------------- Originally by: Ghazi Mining skills just makes your character go noob longer.
