Line 102:

Interceptors ("'ceptors", "inties") are ~~used as [[Scouting|scouts]] and initial~~ [[Tackling|tackle]]. ~~For this reason they have a~~ very high warp ~~speed~~, ~~high general speed~~, ~~high~~ agility, and ~~high scan resolution (to lock fast).~~

Interceptors ("'ceptors", "inties") are the fastest of fast [[Tackling|tackle]] frigates. They feature very high warp speeds, flight speeds, and agility, and low signature radii, but somewhat thin defenses. They are commonly used as [[Scouting|scouts]] and initial tackle. However, their straight combat abilities are limited (and often nonexistant).

~~Their combat capabilities are very limited though~~. ~~Besides the scout and tackle role they~~ are ~~often also~~ used ~~for pure traveling and then called~~ [[~~Travel_fit#Fleet_Interceptors~~|~~travel ceptor~~]].

=== Fleet Interceptor ===

Fleet interceptors have a bonus to Warp Scrambler and Warp Disruptor range. ~~Additionally~~ they ~~are interdiction nullified~~, ~~which means they~~ ignore the effects of [[bubble|warp disruption bubbles]].

Fleet interceptors have a bonus to Warp Scrambler and Warp Disruptor range. Furthermore, they can fit the Interdiction Nullification module, allowing them to ignore the effects of [[bubble|warp disruption bubbles]].

Their high warp speed, and potential for interdiction nullification, makes fleet interceptors popular for long-distance travel and low-volume safe cargo transport. Fleet interceptors fitted for travel are known as [[Travel_fit#Fleet_Interceptors|travel ceptors]].

=== Combat Interceptor ===

Combat interceptors ~~are more combat oriented~~. ~~But they can~~'t ~~compete with assault frigates~~. So they are ~~barely used since they lost their interdiction nullification,~~

Combat interceptors use turret weapons and feature a bonus to prop mod [[Overheating|Overheat]] effects. They don't have the range bonuses of fleet interceptors, but they have significantly more damage potential. Unfortunately, their damage and durability are far below those of an Assault Frigate, and so they are not commonly fielded.
