===Combat Interceptors===

Combat interceptors are more combat oriented than their counterparts, as the name suggests. They do not have the extended tackle range bonuses of the Fleet Interceptors, and in stead gain multiple bonuses to their chosen weapons turrets. (All Combat Interceptors use Turrets and not Missiles.) However, because they do not benefit from the interdiction nullification of Fleet Interceptors, and because their straight combat power is generally exceeded by [[Assault Frigates]], especially with their Assault Damage Controls, they are much less commonly used.

The 'Howling Interdictors' update of October 2020 gave a new bonus to all Combat Interceptors: +100% [[Overheating|Overheat]] Effects for Afterburners and Microwarpdrives. This allows Combat Interceptors to reach unbelievably high speeds for very short durations. Apart from this bonus, all Combat Interceptors have several different skill-based bonuses to weapons performance, from both their racial Frigate skills and from the common Interceptors skill.
