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.

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.
