=== Interdictors ===

~~The only class of Tech 2 destroyer are interdictors, which~~ are highly specialized ships used for deploying warp disruption probes (also known as "bubbles", which prevent ships inside them from warping away). They are based on the four turret destroyer hulls, and are used almost exclusively in [[nullsec]] and [[wormhole]]s.

=== Command Destroyers ===

Command Destroyers ~~were introduced in the Frostline Expansion.~~ (~~Dec8th 2016~~) ~~They were designed to be more 'durable' compared to~~ that ~~their T1 counterparts. These destroyers offer several differences, a greater number of lower slots~~ (~~for durability~~ ), ~~lower number of High slots, ,~~ they ~~can use Command Warfare Link~~. ~~( think T3 cruisers, or Battlecruisers just smaller, only 1 link)~~

The defining feature of Command Destroyers is their ability to fit a Micro Jump Field Generator (MJFG). This module acts like an [[micro jump drive]] except that it also pulls ships (enemy and friendly) along into the the 100km warp, as long as they are within 6km when the MJFG is activated.

~~A major change is that these ships can fit a Micro Jump Field Generator. This module acts like an MJD except that it pulls~~ in ~~ships~~ (~~Enemy AND friendly~~) ~~( and some objects) into the the 100KM warp as long as they are within 6KM range of the MJFG.~~

Command Destroyers were introduced in the Frostline expansion (Dec 2015), are more durable than their Tech I counterparts and can fit a Command [[Warfare Link]], but have less firepower<ref>https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=456713 Command Destroyer forum thread, by CCP Rise]</ref>. They are therefore best used in a supporting role, for instance, to provide fleet boosts for frigate and destroyer fleets. Their MJFG can be used in many creative ways, including catching enemy sniper ships, or disrupting enemy logistics ships by microjumping them away from their fleetmates.

~~Quoting from CCP "We~~ are ~~aiming to have a set of destroyers that are both faster and~~ more ~~resilient~~ than ~~either~~ their Tech I counterparts ~~or Interdictors~~, but sacrifice offense. This should make the support role, whether with MJFG or links, easier to fill while leaving them vulnerable to abuse in combat. Their weapon systems will be missile or drone based, like their base hulls."<ref>https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=456713 Command Destroyer forum thread, by CCP Rise]</ref>
