Ships & Modules

Ok, for the last week, i ve been wondering what race has the best interceptor for tackling.

The malediction looks promising with its rlml fit, anemic dps but great range and no tracking problem and the speed is good

The ares, i was told is not the ship for tackling, 3 mids arent enough? i dont really understand

The stiletto, has 4 mids can fit active/passive shield fit has great speed, but cant fit any dps to sve itself from even light drones

The raptor is just bad... no speed whatever but great tank
so im in need of some advice, some help to choose one, ill be skilling the others later on.
ARES vs STILETTO VS MALEDICTION WHO WINS? EPIC CEPTOR BATTLE OF HISTORY

Ares have whack agility.

If you fly shield fits and only need a point or a scram, Ares are awesome, especially on camps for decloaking.

Ares have one redeeming quality when armor tanked - the racial flavoured resist bonus, leaving you with only an explosive hole. Get a Dark Blood resist plating and you should get a very well rounded and uniform resist profile.

Here is the shield one I use occasionally, switching between scram/point. I believe Chessur or someone from Pizza made a vid which recommended ceptor fits with vamps.

Never flew the armor one, but if I had to, I'd use this. On the face of it, armor Ares and Males are very similar. Ares still wins in agility, with a slightly high top speed, even with a Nanofibre instead of OD. Males have slightly higher effective HP/s.

All in all, the loss with armor tanked fits is fact that you will likely need to warp off after a couple of rep cycles - the cap on these two ain't that great and losing cap when holding point is tear inducing. You may not put plates on ceptors in which case it wouldn't really matter. Ares loses the low-slot efficiency contest because Males get a uniform profile right of the bat, but is also biased heavily towards armor. Ares gets choices. Males can be fitted to be faster with its resist hole still being relatively well defended.

The Ares have alot of structure EHP so you should replace the nano with an overdrive so you don't lose a large amount of your buffer.

Light Electron blasters got ****** range. 75mms railguns may not have the same dps, but they benefit greatly from the optimal range and tracking bonus on the ares which makes them great from clearing drones which is the primary role of your guns anyways.

The malediction has low dps but it is able to project the dps unlike the other interceptors. It can also be quite tanky so it is probably the best armour ceptor.

I've been flying intis for a while and I've found the stiletto and malediction to be the superior tacklers. I don't fly as a buffer tank, max speed, point, scram fit.

I'd really put a NOS on there if you intend to use the scram frequently.

That's one crow. Absolutely not sure about the warpspeedrigs anymore, crow flies a bit like a stiletto on valium like that.
