Gallente Federation Interceptors Atron Class Fast Target Locking Time HIGHLIGHTS RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES EVE Online Ships Overview EXTERNAL LINKS Ares on zKillboard Ares on EVE Workbench Ares on Janice Ares on EVE Ref Ares on Eve Online Wiki

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. Developer: Roden Shipyards Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tends to favor missiles over drones and their ships are generally faster than other Gallente ships in their class. They generally have a substantial amount of hull modification options but limited electronic systems.

Summary

The Ares is unique among interceptors for having 4 low slots.

With its 4 low slots, the Ares is the fastest Interceptor once fit. It also features high structure HP, so when fit with a Damage Control II and a Medium Shield Extender II, the Ares is also the "tankiest" of the Interceptor group.

Its main competition comes from the Minmatar Stiletto with its 4 mid slots.

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

NOTES

• 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.

Notes

About Nanofiber Hull: While the added agility bonus is nice, Interceptors are naturally some of the most agile ships in EVE and in the hands of a skilled pilot, an Interceptor does not really require extra agility to catch and stay on their target. The high structure HP that the Ares has means its tank suffers disproportionately from the structure HP penalty of nanofibers. You will find yourself counting your lucky stars when you escape a fight with 12% Hull: *** Example... ***
