Hello friends! I'm trying to find some information on which of these would be better for small gang pvp. I know that the sabre is considered to be the best interdictor, but as of right now these are the two that i'm able to fly well. So which do you guys thing would be the better of the two?

I've tried searching, but thus far I've been unable to find any up to date information.

You can get a nice solid buffer tank with full tackle on the Flycatcher while still retaining some solid dps. I'd go with that personally since the speed from not being plated is more valuable in a small gang IMO.

The flycatcher is rather a wannabe heretic that can only shoot kinetic missiles. If you love caldari, get the flycatcher, else you'll be better off with the heretic 9/10 times.

For small gang especially, go lml over rockets. ~18km range with javs is pathetic and force you to either apply no damage or get killed.

So for heretic with bubble:

or without bubble:

for example. The flycatcher has a buffertank that recharges over time instead, a painter usually in addition to the tackle here, less dps and a kinetic lock.

I was recently fooling around with a passive shield LML fit (no bubble) on the heretic, but Lloyd's AAR fit is superior in every way, even cheaper (I needed a meta 4 DCU).

Thanks!

Flycatcher>heretic as you have an application bonus imho, but only if you have dictor V, with anything lower the heretic is better.
