It is my understanding that the actual cruiser class heavy interdictors, even with their awesome tanks, are awfully easy to destroy in large fleet fights.

So, I propose that there should be battlecruiser class interdictors with even better tanks, the ability to field warp disruption generators, and less turret/missile hardpoints than their cruiser counterparts (maybe two or three), so as to discourage solo use.

They could use the new tier 3 battlecruiser models since they have no T2 counterpart yet.

Another possibility would be outright battleship-class interdictors, but in a world where a HIC already has a BS-like tank, those would have to sport a truly ludicrous tank to make sense.

Hic's have amazing tanks already, it they die in large engagements it's because not many ships can withstand 100+ ships shooting at it for very long. Lets face it though, any EWAR platform; Hics, Recons, etc... will be primaried because of there ability to tip the scales of the fight. If you want a longer lasting Hic, I suggest to bring more Hics.

Anything is easy to destroy in a large enough fleet. This is a complaint about blobs, not the ship. HIC already have tanks larger then some battleships.
