My bet, you will never get a fight against your intended targets, and when you do you will get ganked.

Also, first xD

Nice!

Looks like it'll get owned at the first camp it comes to though because of the low tank and lack of MWD/good AB speed.

Holy Satanic Christ! This is a Goddamn Signature!

You will be primaried outside of null sec just because you are in an easy insta pop expensive destroyer.

Anything you can achieve through hard work, you can also just buy.

I have a very similar flycatcher fitted up. I've had it fitted for a few months. Every fight I get into with it I've had to bail, so I can't say its successful. But its a good alternative to the Hooky.

I'm back!

I predict you will be shamed on killboards for not fitting a bubble launcher.

Why would I assume you would be flying an interdictor in low sec? (Why would you, actually?)

Looks interesting, may make a good Faction Warfare pvp ship, the sabre looks interesting too, I liked the dual propulsion flycatcher, but it burst into flames whenever anyone looked at it harshly

Getting you on your feet.

So you've further to fall.

No ****. There's alot of ships that would pop him.

In all reality in lowsec this is a cheap version of a dual-web Hookbill with a marginally larger tank (which is somewhat negated by the bigger sig radius), a little slower and more DPS. General rule of thumb is if a dual-web Hookbill can kill it, the flycather can probably also kill it. I've flown it, and I found it fun, but never really got any solo kills with it, so I can't comment on that.

That's a terrible fit, so it's not surprising he died tbh. That KM doesn't prove the Flycatcher is bad, just that the pilot is terrible.

T2 dessies can work, but a flycatcher? No. Saber. Always Saber.
