=== Interceptors ===
These are the primary tacklers in anything but 0.0 (where dictors and hics take over). They have the highest scan resolution of any class, and only Vigils (Minmatar electronic warfare frig) can match their speed. Their main purpose is tackling, and that's what they do best, but many interceptors can also be refit to be effective combat ships in an interceptor only gang. Their firepower and tank will be low compared to other types of ships, but they have the advantage of very high speed (even when tank & gank fitted) and awesome agility.

=== Stealth Bombers (SB) ===  
=== Stealth Bombers ===  
No tank, all gank. Super high dps/alpha frigates that can warp cloaked and doesn't have a sensor recalibration delay after decloaking. Close in, high damage, can warp cloaked and is the bane of large ships. In 0.0, they can also launch bombs (basically a large, higher damage smartbomb). They have trouble hitting small targets with their torpedoes though. In groups, flown well, can take down carriers.

These vary allot from race to race. Basically, they are frigate sized version of the combat recon ships.

=== Assault Ships (AS / AF) ===  
=== Assault Ships ===  
High tank, usually high dps frigates. If you get tackled by one of these, you're generally not going anywhere, they're a pain to get rid of when properly fitted. The disadvantage compared to interceptors is that they're slower, and often sacrifice their MWD and fit an AB instead to be able to survive longer after getting the target tackled.
