Ares
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

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 is unique among interceptors for having 4 low slots.
Considered by some as the "King" of fleet Interceptors, the Ares is not only the fastest Interceptor but when fit with a Damage Control II and a Medium Shield Extender II, the Ares is also the "Tankiest" of the Interceptor group.
While the Minmatar Stiletto does have 4 mid slots and provides a little extra utility, it is incredibly skill intensive and expensive to fit.

- Less than two months of training for a very effective, very educational ship.
- With the recommended skills in the section above, this fit runs for 12:00 minutes.
- AutoCannons require no cap to fire, have longer range than blasters and are easier to fit.
- Defender Missiles have somewhat questionable effectiveness, and at the most will only reduce a little DPS from missiles ships.
- Feel free to replace Missile Launcher with Rocket Launcher for more Anti-Drone DPS.
