The price of the components or the availability of them needs to be improved. Currently, Inteceptors arent worth the price tag. Dont get me wrong, i mostly enjoy flying them but its frustrating when u lose 1. The last patch has improved theyre survivability but only against guns, missiles / drones / smart bombs will still kill u in seconds. The only other option is to keep at a range but with max targetting ranges of about 25-35 km your putting yourself in more danger than you are avoiding at those ranges.
Maybe my initial post wasnt quite as clear as i would have liked but I just wish that Interceptors would be made a whole lot cheaper. Either that or a significant improvement in stats and performance, i dont really mind which. I quite enjoy flying around in them and acting as the frigate in a group but theyre just too damm expensive to use as frigates are suppose to these days.
Frigates are spose to be part of a larger group consisting of a mix of ship classes but there are so many things which can kill an interceptor in seconds that this isnt really viable unless ure very rich and have a good supplier of ships.

If people werent willing to pay those prices then Interceptors just wouldnt get made.. Im sure manufacturers wouldnt sell stuff theyre not making profits on.

Why are do you want them cheaper?
1. You are a little unhappy about paying the price yet not getting insurance to cover it.
2. You want to use them as throw away toys.
3. You are fed up with having to hunt the cheaper ones and want them available in bulk.
If you use your brain more and understand what they are cpable of you can have a go at any ship in the game with them. Accepted you are not likely to kill all but you can have a play none the less.

Tbh, atm I earn more on build cruisers than I do on interceptors. And build cruisers is less hassle and work as well ;-) Guess Im dumb or whatever, but I dont really want to build something that end up cost more than its worth buying. When I build stuff I try ask myself "Would I buy this product at this price?". I like to have my ISK working for me, ISK making more ISK by being in motion.
Wich reminds me about..... (weird)... 
Rod Tidwell: That's what I'm gonna do for you. God bless you, Jerry. Now this is what you're gonna do for me. You listening?
Jerry Maguire: Yeah, yeah, what can I do for YOU, Rod?
Rod Tidwell: It's a very personal, very important thing. Hell, it's a family motto. Now are you ready? Just checking to make sure you're ready (Rod turns his boom box real low) here it is - show me the money. (He now blasts the boom box at full level) OHHH! SHOW! ME! THE! MONEY! Doesn't it make you feel good just to say that, Jerry? Say it with me one time brother!
Jerry Maguire: ...Show you the money.
Rod Tidwell: Oh, come on, you can do better than that! I want you to say it brother with meaning! Hey, I got Bob Sugar on the other line I better hear you say it!
Jerry Maguire: Yeah, ye - no, show you the money!
Rod Tidwell: AH! Not show YOU! Show ME the money!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Yeah, that's it brother but you got to yell that ****!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Louder!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!

Frigates ARE throwaway toys.... specially in a group camping gates and stations. How can a ship with 500 hp be expected to last when ure attacking ships that carry heavy drones and have large/medium smart bombs and fire missiles all over the place?
I know its an elite frigate but its still a frigate and therefore still should be treated as 1
I can make my interceptor last forever.... however that means running away at the first sight of danger and never taking any chances which gets kinda boring after a while ;/

Only a retard in a cruiser would be killed by a solo interceptor.
Cruiser only needs a few light missiles or drones and thats it, Interceptor has to run or be killed.
I expect alot more for the stupid pricetag u have to pay. Interceptors cant take damage, they cant avoid damage ( only players guns after that last patch ).
Ships with such a short expected lifetime should be miles cheaper.
You couldnt be more wrong! If you dont believe interceptors can avoid damage let one orbit u at 7-5K with its MWD on and see if you can hit it with ANYTHING(except drones). Even with the new sigradius penalty, all that does is help them lock u a few seconds faster, once ur in close theyre screwed. Drones are its only weakness but last I checked heavy drones could crush anything except a BS so thats not worth arguing.
Besides, the whole point of Interceptors is to tackle. For gettign in close, webbing and scrambling there is nothing better.
And in case you didnt know, I can run the MWD on my Crow forever.
Honestly, with comments like u made above i question whther or not youve even flown one. Interceptors Rock!

Nice to see forums dont change and people just read 1 sentence go off on one.
How do u avoid being hit by light missiles when ure orbitting a ship at 7,500 km ? Unless ure one of these people that just flys in an interceptor and doesnt use any EW gear.
.
???? By turning on the MWD. Not sure about you but I average about 2800m/s with my MWD on at 10-5km. Last I checked lights were still doing 1000ms.

lol , u reckon u can react and get out quick enough when ure orbiting at close range? :/
Unless its just a 1v1 fight i think youll find it hard to keep track of everything thats happening. U cant just concentrate on that 1 ship alot of the time. Im not saying its not possible but ure welcome to come and try on me :P

Interceptors are great, I love each that I own.They are far superior to any normal frig. The latest patch changed some things but it's still great ship. Alone because you can move as fast if not faster than insta Bships without any instas makes it worth it. And seriously, they cost peanuts. And the price is high because unlike normal frigs that are built from subventioned slavery created ores the interceptor components follow a true free market economy. That their price is high only shows that there is a good demand and not enough supply of either components or complete interceptors.

damn nubbies...
tghe 25% DAMAGE BONUS + cap help does huge amounts for the thing.... an interceptor can outfire most cruisers... not to mention you wont be able to hit it with it circling you at fast speeds
with the massive massive damage output of these things you can kill a level 3 combat frigate in seconds... I kill punishers and Merlins all the time... Rifters usually run.
Ive also killed a Maller with the thing because he couldnt hit me.
i was simply using the stats the guy posted in the first place.

Anyone of you that fly a Claw, mind telling me your rig setup? I'm doing ok but could really use some help.
Right now, using....
2 250mm scout autocannons
2 TE-2000 missle launchers with sabretooths
Cold-gas arcject AB
X-5 prototype propulsion inhibitor
Basic overdrive
counterbalance weapon mount
named armor repair
nanofiber
Suggestions?
