== Heavy Interdiction Cruisers ==

The role of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers ('HICs' or 'hictors') is the heaviest tackle possible. ~~With the exception of some T3 cruiser setups, they have better tanks~~ than any other ~~cruiser~~, and ~~match~~ that of ~~most battleships~~. Their DPS is extremely low, but is generally unnecessary to perform their role.

The role of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers ('HICs' or 'hictors') is the heaviest tackle possible. They are more heavily shielded and armored than any other cruisers (short of certain rare Strategic Cruiser configurations), and they are capable of fitting the Warp Disruption Field Generator, a module which can either project an Interdiction Field around the ship or be focused into an "infinity point", a single-target warp disruptor or scrambler that no number of Warp Core Stabilizers can resist. Their DPS is extremely low, but DPS is generally unnecessary for them to perform their role.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Devoter]]: Armor tank, and a better one than the Phobos, but 1 less midslot, which is significant in ~~Empire~~ where HICs usually fit sensor boosters to help them catch fast targets.

In [[Wormhole Space]], HICs can also use the unique Zero-Point Mass Entangler module to nearly immobilize themselves but reduce their mass to that of a shuttle, for use in [[Living in Wormhole Space#Rolling Wormholes|rolling]] Wormholes.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Devoter]]: Armor tank, and a better one than the Phobos, but 1 less midslot, which is significant in High and Lowsec where HICs usually fit sensor boosters to help them catch fast targets.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Onyx]]: Shield tank. Lower tank and speed than the Broadsword, but a lot more CPU, letting it fit a probe launcher. Additionally, in empire where HICs usually fit sensor boosters, it has a very hard time properly plugging its EM resist hole.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Phobos]]: Armor tank. The Devoter tanks better, but the Phobos has an extra midslot, making it better at catching fast targets in Empire with an extra sensor booster.
