Interceptors utilize a combination of advanced alloys and electronics to reduce their effective signature radius. This, along with superior maneuverability and speed, makes them very hard to target and track, particularly for high caliber turrets. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Ares previously held the title of Fastest Fleet Inty, but in Rubicon this is no longer the case. The Ares shares a 4/3/3 slot layout with the Malediction, allowing it to fit a good speed fit, only slightly slower than the Malediction's. It still has 3 mids to fit two tackle modules or a tackle module and tank module for a fleet fit.
The Ares is competent at its role, but has no really distinguishing features. The Malediction is generally superior with the same slot layout, being slightly faster and having a more flexible weapon system.

- Less than two months of training for very effective, very educational ship.
- With the recommended skills in the section above, this fit runs for a little over eight minutes.
- AutoCannons require no cap to fire, have longer range than blasters and are easier to fit.
- Since Rubicon, a 3rd gun can be fit instead of the missiles.

Notes
About Nanofiber Hull: While the added agility bonus is nice, Interceptors are naturally some of the most agile ships in EVE and in the hands of a skilled pilot, an Interceptor does not really require extra agility to catch and stay on their target. The high structure HP that the Ares has means its tank suffers disproportionately from the structure HP penalty of nanofibers. You will find yourself counting your lucky stars when you escape a fight with 12% Hull.
