Interceptors: Difference between revisions

Line 293:

Drones are a common defence against all small ships, interceptors included. The Minmatar [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Warrior_II Warrior II] light drones are the nimblest and fastest drones, often matching interceptor speeds, and so are the most common choice.

However, interceptors go so very fast that even Warriors are likely to still spend time fruitlessly chasing them around. Furthermore, it is ~~sometimes~~ possible to tank an interceptor against drones~~: a Stiletto with a medium shield extender and one or two explosive shield resist rigs~~ can soak up a lot of fire from Warriors ~~(which do explosive damage), for example~~.

However, interceptors go so very fast that even Warriors are likely to still spend time fruitlessly chasing them around. Furthermore, it is possible to tank an interceptor against drones so that it can soak up a lot of fire from Warriors.

~~Fleet inty~~ pilots can also fit weapons specifically to shoot drones. The smallest, fastest-tracking turrets, combined with the tracking bonuses that several fleet inties get, perform quite well against drones.

Inty pilots can also fit weapons specifically to shoot drones. The smallest, fastest-tracking turrets, combined with the tracking bonuses that several fleet inties get, perform quite well against drones.

Ships with large dronebays and bonuses to drone hitpoints and damage, like the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arbitrator Arbitrator] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Vexor Vexor] have much more problematic drones (and if you do manage to kill them, they probably have more).
