When flying a slasher as an interceptor you need to take a little time to understand how your ship operates under high speed conditions, and set up your orbit ranges appropriately. Your preferred ships to tackle are anything bigger than you (Cruisers, Battle Cruisers, ~~Battlships~~), as you have a chance to effectively speed tank any guns that may be on their ships. If you are scram fitted you might be able to assist your other frigate pilots in catching another MWD frigate such as a Dramiel or Interceptor.

* Long Point: With the warp disruptor your orbit should be set to approximately 14-17 KM. This will allow you to stay at 16-18 km, inside of your warp disruption range and outside of medium energy neutralizing range. Hold point (keep the module) active for as long as possible or until someone calls a replacement point (someone else has a scram) and move onto your next target.

* Short Point: Set your orbit to 500 meters and shut off your MWD once you get within 8-11 km of your target. This will allow your ship to quickly achieve a stable orbit at extremely close range to hopefully get under and stay under enemy guns. If you turn your MWD off too late you will 'yo-yo' on the target and potentially loose your scramble and allow a watchful pilot to instapop your fragile frigate as you re-approach. Leaving your MWD on for a low skilled pilot can cause issues with maintaining cap, make it very easy for other ships to shoot you (huge signature radius), and your elliptical orbit may be large enough to push you outside of scram range.
