Ships & Modules

ONI might be able to do the job, but other than that a solo cruiser isn't going to be able to shake off an interceptor before the fleet arrives. New changes have made ceptors a lot more common in the meta, but generally speaking solo cruiser pvp doesn't seem all that viable anymore.

If you cant beat it, cry until they nerf it.

I think a crusier specifically fitted to combat inties with bonuses that support that should have a slim chance of killing 1 inty within 5 minutes.

Its kind of like rubicon is a movie called "return of the dramiel - but with better bonuses and harder to kill"

The solo inty is easy to handle for the most part. Going 1v1 is hard, almost have to fly an inty better than the other pilot.

Had a solo inty jump on me and a corp mate ratting with me in a BS and him in a carrier (drone assist FTW lol) but when he jumped in on us, he tackled me and got to close and ran into the heavy neut I had equipped. Unfortunately he got out before I could refit to tackle and drone it to death.

A small gang of inties are dangerous. Especially if they're ratter hunting with a cyno fitted friend with them.

I believe it's gonna take some time to find a good counter for these fast ships, but as of right now, it's gonna take numbers and decent tactics

Like Ruezer said, fight fire with fire ! Try to use other interceptors (Ares, Crusader, etc.) or perhaps some AFs and be a better pilot than your opponent.

So if they are out of web and scram range >10km then shouldnt say small guns make them go poof or tracking bonused short range turrets?

Or am I not understanding the scales involved here?
I mean most of my kills are obviously on the Jita undock so scram web and torp the crap out of it (haha you fools said torps were weak!)

There are certainly scenario where either or wins due to plenty of conditional factors.

It felt to me that ship rebalancing was finding a home for everything in the food chain of ship classes, with the new interceptor changes (after playing with them for a while) it feels like they are out of place to me considering their price and skillpoint requirements considering the number of "perks" they get.

I run my interceptors with dual hyper rigs and nano lows so mine aren't a threat to anyone just d@mn hard to catch.

But lets be honest ... whatever ship is currently the best for small gangs will suddenly appear everywhere. If you nerfed inties something else will take their place. If you made assault frigate gangs the optimal way to fight, there would be AF everywhere.

The assumption that "everyone flies ship X therefore ship X is ridiculously overpowered" is nonsense in a game as even being a few percent better in stats will make a ship dominant in a particular role. The alternative is to "balance" things to make all ships identical but that way lies boredom and will kill the game.

The main thing though is 4 or 5 T2 frigates really should be able to kill a T1 cruiser with relative ease. Especially when the T1 cruiser cost 10 or 15 mill fitted and the intercepts cost more like 40 mill each fitted.

What the original poster seems to be saying is he wants to be able to kill 200 mill worth of T2 frigates in a 15 mill T1 cruiser just because its a cruiser.

It seems like he was willing to spend on pirate/faction cruisers if soloing in a cruiser would let him actually kill an interceptor or two before going down. Last I looked some of the pirate cruisers are pretty darn expensive. Since you're so conerned about cost: So what makes you think your 200M vs of T2 frigates should kill a billion ISK faction fit cruiser?
