Malediction - The Broken Interceptor

The Following Fit is Broken, It cannot be pointed / scrammed / tackled by anything when it comes through a stargate. it can dps / point @ 30km avoiding being neuted / tackled and can simply run away from basically every engagement its not winning.

The malediction is the only interceptor capable of doing this, with a minor possibility of the crow being able to do a similiar fit but being very gimped due to its damage bonus being kinetic only. All other interceptors cannot dps at anywhere near this range and are severely gimped achieving this low of a warp align time.

I'd like to take a moment and compare this to the Dramiel of Olde, which you could at least scare into gatecrashing, and it got nerfed, these things run around in packs unregulated and unstoppable.

Here's the fit, anyone feel free to test it, use it, exploit it, and get this things align speed nerfed.

Posting a fit in F&I and claiming its OP because you cant catch it with a faceless corpless forum alt is sure to get this ship nerfed.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

You owe me a new sarcasm meter, seeing as you just destroyed the one I've been using thus far.

but if you put 2 nano's on that then it'd warp even faster!!! ZOMG!!! oh and curse armageddon sentinel can all neut it at 30km and a dragoon with a medium faction neut is 2km short of the 30km so really it's not all that difficult to neut it

p.s. just because you can get a medium faction neut onto a dragoon dosen't mean you should

Rebalance the mass / inertia so its inline with other interceptors, maybe give the pilots a reason to fit the ship to use its hull bonus rather than exploit the fact that its impossible to target it before it warps off a gate.

I've been abusing flying the Maladiction since the rebalance. It's good at engaging many different targets... but it's not invulnerable. Fast drones, high-tracking turrets, and missiles are the bane of this ship.

It CAN be killed. Easily. But it can also disengage from a fight just as much. Then again... so can most interceptors. I see no problem with it.

Oh really?

This is unsuccessful at Everything here, he may as well be considered to speak sarcasm as well as this fit killed op.

Shh..we don't want to start a nerf sarcasm thread here....

I fly around a 1.9s align time raptor; it does more dps, its faster, lower sig, and its got more tank. (drawback, only 10km range) Lots of fun, but hardly foolproof.

Your fit is really vulnerable to faster ceptors/frigs, or anything with alpha and good tracking. Those I-stabs are not healthy for your sig radius. Even with 1.9s align, someone did manage to get enough Sebos to lock me, but failed to land a point. Really good for scouting, maybe even a bit OP for scouting, but overall, its not that unreasonable.

Maybe you should just stay at your keyboard while you're ratting? And warp off? Is that hard? Or do you think CCP owed you free ISK because you undock from nullsec.

If it's pissing off Goons, PLEASE give the malediction a 25m3 bay so it can carry 1 sentry.

It really isn't any worse than all the other ceptors that can only be caught if they are badly fit or choose to engage you.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Says the pilot playing a 1 sided game, interceptor gangs running around for hours on end that aren't worth the time to hunt because they cant be caught.

Guess the best option is to put a hardcap on the interceptor class's align to warp speed so they can be caught with enough scan res.

If people want risk free scouts CCP can introduce T2 shuttles that are interdiction nullified.

If interceptors are completely risk free, then how has the very killboard you just linked got four inty kills and six inty losses on it?
