AB fits are pretty universally ****. Too slow, too vulnerable to webs, not versatile enough to be of any actual use to a gang. Just fit an mwd, same goes for every other ship in existence.

You can therefore orbit at 500m
And then get webbed, and then die a horrible, horrible death.
You're an interceptor and you're there to tackle. You get to the target as fast as you can, orbit at 20km and point. If it's a nanotarget you overheat your web, go into 11km and web until a huginn can pin it.

Yeah, you can get away with certain AB setups here, but that's several billion isk worth of implants right there :P

Try hitting a ceptor going 200-250m/s...
It's easy. Missile boats will have no problems whatsoever. All close range guns will do it, and even most low-tier long range guns will do it, especially with some creative piloting. Oh, and a flight of light drones will have you dead before you've killed them all. They don't simply "fall from the sky". You can't engage and avoid a ship and all its drones at the same time as maintaining an efficient high-trans orbit.
And to use your line. Try engaging a ceptor at 800-900m/s. With MWDs your sig increases by ~600%, but your speed increases by ~1000%. With ABs your speed increases by ~200%. Guess which one gives you the greater ability to dodge guns.

The fact is ceptors don't die as soon as they hit web range,
Yeah, sometimes they die outside it as AC boats nuke them from falloff at ~15km. An inty in web range is a dead inty. It's not doing its job and it's doing nothing for the gang. You're talking ****e.

It's hard to do something for a gang when there isn't a gang there. It's meant purely for solo work.
Well, that explains why you're failing so spectacularly. Ceptors are gang ships. Tackling bonuses, speed, low dps. Which part of that is screaming "I'M A SOLO GANKER!!!" at you?
