Heavy Interdiction Cruisers: Difference between revisions

'''Heavy Interdiction Cruisers''' ("HICs" or "hictors") are Tech 2 [[cruisers]] ~~which~~ provide ~~the heaviest~~ [[Tackling|tackle]] ~~possible~~. They have ~~better tanks than any other cruiser-sized hull—with~~ the ~~exception of some niche~~ [[~~Strategic Cruisers|strategic cruiser~~]] ~~fits—and can match~~ the ~~tanks of most battleships~~. ~~Their DPS is relatively~~ limited, ~~but damage-dealing is rarely~~ a ~~key part of their~~ role.

'''Heavy Interdiction Cruisers''' ("HICs" or "hictors") are Tech 2 [[cruisers]] designed to provide heavy [[Tackling|tackle]]. To this end, they are able to fit the Warp Disruption Field Generator module. They all have a 5% range bonus per HIC level to this module. Further, they all have a 20% resist bonus corresponding to their faction's preferred tank. Besides this they have bonuses to their faction's preferred weapon system. The HICs of the four empires are:

* {{sh|Devoter}}

* {{sh|Onyx}}

* {{sh|Phobos}}

* {{sh|Broadsword}}

Besides those four empire HICs, there is a [[Sansha's Nation]] HIC: the {{sh|Fiend}}. As a limited edition [[Alliance Tournament|AT ship]], it very rare and doesn't play a big role in everyday life.

== List of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers ==

* {{sh|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.

* {{sh|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.

* {{sh|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.

* {{sh|Broadsword}}: Shield tank. Better speed and resists than the Onyx, at the price of CPU for utility mods.
