Interceptors utilize a combination of advanced alloys and electronics to reduce their effective signature radius. This, along with superior maneuverability and speed, makes them very hard to target and track, particularly for high caliber turrets. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Ares is unique among interceptors for having 4 low slots.
Considered by some as the "King" of fleet Interceptors, the Ares is not only the fastest Interceptor but when fit with a Damage Control II and a Medium Shield Extender II, the Ares is also the "Tankiest" of the Interceptor group.
While the Minmatar Stiletto does have 4 mid slots and provides a little extra utility, it is incredibly skill intensive and expensive to fit.
About Nanofiber Hull: While the added agility bonus is nice, Interceptors are naturally some of the most agile ships in EVE.
In the hands of a skilled pilot, an Interceptor does not really require that extra agility to catch and stay on their target, even more so since the agility boost has a dire price, 15% reduction in Hull HP, 20% with T2.
The Ares is blessed with high Hull hit-points, with decent Mechanics skill(IV and up) and a Damage Control II fitted it can provide just as much, if not more EHP than a Medium Shield Extender. (e.g. EM weapons will do much more damage to shield than Armor and Hull)
You will find yourself counting your lucky stars when you escape a fight with 12% Hull: *** Example... ***

- Less than two months of training for very effective, very educational ship.
- With the recommended skills in the section above, this fit runs for a little over eight minutes.
- AutoCannons require no cap to fire, have longer range than blasters and are easier to fit.
- Feel free to replace the rocket launcher, it is only used for extra anti-drone DPS.
