Interdictors are destroyer-sized vessels built to fill a single important tactical niche: the breaching of enemy warp tunnels. Capable of launching warp-disrupting interdiction spheres, interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic importance where enemy movement must be restricted. Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Sabre is a Tech 2 Minmatar destroyer hull. As an Interdictor, its primary reason for existence is to launch warp disrupt probes to prevent the enemy fleet from warping. Used poorly, it can hold your fleet in place and prevent your own fleet from warping which, of course, is bad. Newbie Sabre pilots want to be extremely careful when they bubble and will almost always do so at the direction of the FC. No matter what size of the fleet, or how long you've been flying a Sabre, call "Bubble Up" when you drop that bubble.
Sabres, much like their T1 variant, Thrashers, are sized such that they aren't as difficult to hit as frigates and are also slower than frigates. Their defences are only marginally better then frigates, so they're easy to kill. However, Sabres are significantly faster than the Thrasher with a double bubble Sabre MWD'ing at 2400 m/s before heat. As a Sabre pilot you will be primaried a lot. When you are yellow boxed cloak up or warp out if you can. If not [u]overheat that MWD[/u] and burn away as fast as possible.
Don't expect to get on a lot of kill mails as a dictor pilot. A kill mail only generates for a bubble if an enemy ship tries initiate warp when in that bubble and most pilots are smart enough to not to bother trying. But if you enjoy being the guy to ruin an opposing fleet's entire day, you'll enjoy being a dictor pilot.
