Effectively combining the trapping power of interdictors with the defensive capabilities of heavy assault ships, the heavy interdictor is an invaluable addition to any skirmish force, offensive or defensive. Heavy interdictors are the only ships able to use the warp disruption field generator, a module which creates a warp disruption field that moves with the origin ship wherever it goes. Developer: Core Complexion Inc. Core Complexion’s ships are unusual in that they favor electronics and defense over the “lots of guns” approach traditionally favored by the Minmatar. SHIP BONUSES Minmatar Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to medium projectile turret rate of fire and 5% bonus to shield resistances per level Heavy Interdictors Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to medium projectile turret falloff and 5% bonus to range of warp disruption fields per level Note: can fit warp disruption field generators Required Skills Minmatar Cruiser V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command III4h 26m Minmatar Frigate IV2d 2h 17m Heavy Interdictors I50m Weapon Upgrades V11d 20h 26m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Propulsion Jamming V17d 18h 40m Training Time what's this? 67d 12h 0m Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Broadsword is the Minmatar Heavy Interdictor. It is designed to be heavily shield tanked, and has a large number of mid slots and a hull bonus to help this. The main purpose of the Broadsword is to carry the Warp Disruption Field Generator module, which produces a warp disruption bubble around the ship.

The Broadsword and the Caldari Onyx have the same slot layouts and are almost identical ships, however the shield resist profile on the Onyx is less even than the Broadsword, making it vulnerable to EM damage. As such the Broadsword is slightly preferred, but the Onyx performs almost as well. While the armor tanked Devoter can field a larger tank in terms of raw EHP, a shield tank benefits from passive regeneration, which is important because a HIC using a Warp Disruption Field Generator cannot be remotely repaired and the passive regeneration over the duration of a bubble cycle can amount to tens of thousands of EHP.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• Medium Projectile Turret V
• Medium Autocannon Specialization IV

NOTES

• Broadsword is rarely seen in Incursion fleets. Thanks to its inherent shield resist bonus and Minmatar T2 ships' resist profile, Broadsword can utilize 5 out of 6 of its utility med slots to help with applying its seemingly unimpressive damage, despite still being a shield tanked ship. This allows Broadsword to deal damage at decent range (2.1+35km) and with far superior tracking speed (~0.2rad/sec) than other Minmatar ships. (Range and tracking stats are data when the pilot has all V skills and when the tracking computers are scripted with two Optimal Range Script and one Tracking Speed Script).
• Auto targeting system solves the problem with Broadsword's small maximum target count.
