I'm guessing you didn't watch the video? Those interceptors can warp as fast as a shuttle now, and will cross 50AU in seven seconds. Interdiction nullified. My god.

Which means, they can "intercept" now?

Yes. Twisted

**** yeahTwisted

how they be splitting the "combat" and the "tackling" variants tho?

Like this.

giving them a bit more base locking range and interceptors will actually be the goddamn space superiority ships they should've been since forever \o\

Now imagine if interceptors could warp directly to a ship it just detected on dscan. Follow the same ship in it's warp and ...taking it out of it. Pirate

Looks like the "punch" warp that people have been asking about for years. That video was awesome.

Keep in mind folks this is the fastest warping ship in the game, rigged for warp speed. Not all ships behave like this. Most frigates get only about half of this speed. Still an improvement, but only interceptors can do this. I can't wait, KUDOS CCP.

Those warp speed rigs may finally get used. This is good.

holy cow this+interdiction nullified= nullsec roaming and looking for soft targets (haulers/exploration frigates etc). With these changes it will be very easy to follow and catch targets. Like you saw a hauler flying to a gate far away you warp there, land first on the gate, jump trough and surprise the poor sod in the next system.

I like that there is finally a better ship for traveling from A to B than a 20k ISK shuttle.

Holy ******* ****!

Warp acceleration? Interceptors actually doing what they're supposed to do?

CCP may have given free stuff to people against their own policies but they're winning back some of those points right here if this is real and coming in rubicon.

looks really awesome. i only fear that transporting small expensive stuff like deadspace and officers mods will be absolutely risk free. i mean, who is gonna stop this kind of thing? they carefuly have to balance the align time for alpha ships to have a chance to get them or even limit the cargospace to like 5m3. just enough to get some ammo.
