Interceptors ("'ceptors", "inties") are ~~the primary [[Tackling Guide|tacklers]] everywhere but nullsec (where~~ [[~~Destroyer#Interdictors~~|~~interdictors~~]] and [[~~Cruiser#Heavy Interdiction Cruisers~~|~~HICs~~]] ~~take over)~~. ~~They~~ have ~~the highest base [[scan resolution]] of any ship class, allowing them to lock on to other ships~~ very ~~quickly. While their main purpose is tackling~~, ~~many interceptors can also be fitted to be effective combat ships. Their firepower and tank will be low compared to other ships~~, ~~but they have the advantage of very~~ high ~~speed (even when combat fitted)~~ and ~~awesome agility. Tackler interceptors ignore the effects of [[bubble|warp disruption bubbles]]~~ (~~but will still be affected by targeted warp disruption such as Warp Disruptor modules~~).

Interceptors ("'ceptors", "inties") are used as [[Scouting|scouts]] and initial [[Tackling|tackle]]. For this reason they have a very high warp speed, high general speed, high agility, and high scan resolution (to lock fast).

Their combat capabilities are very limited though. Besides the scout and tackle role they are often also used for pure traveling and then called [[Travel_fit#Fleet_Interceptors|travel ceptor]].

~~Each race has two interceptors, one designed purely for tackling, with a bonus to~~ the ~~range of tackling modules,~~ and ~~the other designed more~~ for ~~damage-dealing. Both interceptors are based on the hull of the race's Tech 1 fast courier/scouting frigate. For more information about using interceptors see the~~ [[~~Interceptors Guide~~]].

=== Fleet Interceptor ===

Fleet interceptors have a bonus to Warp Scrambler and Warp Disruptor range. Additionally they are interdiction nullified, which means they ignore the effects of [[bubble|warp disruption bubbles]].

=== Combat Interceptor ===

Combat interceptors are more combat oriented. But they can't compete with assault frigates. So they are barely used since they lost their interdiction nullification,
