Hehehehe.. grew to love that ship! I personally didn't have much of a problem adjusting since I picked up within days of getting Ace. Now flying anything else slows me down. The Advanced and Oppresor mess me up because the guns are mounted front and center where as I'm now used to and upper and lower.. LMAO!

Another reason I like the Intercepter is that nice box of laser coverage.

yeah, just different things for different people. The Firespray YPR and speed stats are the same as the Opp, so the only real preferance point is the gun mounts.

Hehehehe.. sorry, I was on briefly last night but then had to help my girlfriend out with some stuff. I'll get it fixed up asap... gun does 2500 or so damage, slap WO3... Very nice for PvP but something I found out the hard way last night. Don't come in at the wrong angle of attack on the corvette with shields and armour this low.... you blow up almost as fast as the TIE's in the movies! LMAO!

Came in at full speed from the above rear of a gunboat.... dodged 10-15 shots.. one got through... BOOM!!!!!

I've just done up my interceptor tonight, using Alyxian's stats.

I just can't get it to 'work'

Stats are :

Reactor. - Level 3 RE'd
Mass: 2979
Energy Gen: 12412

Engine:
Reward engine, not RE'd (yet)

Shield: - Level 6 RE'd
RED: 1866
Mass: 10743
Front/Back: 1366
Recharge: 10.67

Capacitor - Level 4 RE'd
RED: 553
Mass: 2934
Cap Ener: 1144
Recharge: 42.1

Booster. - Level 4 RE'd
RED: 450
Mass: 3055
Booster Energy: 2039
Booster Recharge: 51
Consumption rate: 153
Accel: 37.4
Speed: 26.7

DI - Level 1 or 2, not RE'd
RED: 497
Mass: 2187.5
Speed: 29.5
(I don't have a fast DI under 20k mass

)

Weapon - Level 5, player made.
RED: 2341.9
Mass: 14467.9
Damage: 1554.8-2434.6
Vs Shield/armour: 0.48
Energy/shot: 23.7
Refire: 0.350

I'm running at 50131/50259 mass at the moment. I don't seem to be doing enough damage to make it an effective ship...certainly no where near the ability of my oppressor PvE.

And I can't stand the lack of gun harmonisation (where the laser bolts 'meet') - I would *love* to see an option to tweak the harmonisation. I'd make all the bolts meet at 100m or maybe 75m. I hate shooting around Awings and Bwings

Anyone got any advice on how to tweak her further, or where I might be going wrong?
I'm running a reactor overload 3, engine overload 3 and weapon overload 3.

If you're using a crafted gun on that thing, get your shipwright to make it with a quickshot upgrade. It'll have somewhat lower max damage, but if you get its speed down far enough (shoot for .270) the upgrade in DPS will be huge.

hehehehehe.. I likes it! Something to keep in mind, though flying an intercepter is a whole lot of fun for PvP be VERY careful when in places like DS and engaging big hitters. Gunboats and Corvettes pretty much do me in with one shot. Makes sense I guess though, Intercpeters weren't known for their hard hitting action (hence... intercepter instead of bomber). For fighter to fighter I love this little hellraiser, for fighter vs big momma, I default to my firespray.

It *does* have an advantage...it's cheaper!

Seriously, I flew the Interceptor to master all three times...it's a capable fighter when properly outfitted. Maybe not as good as the bright, but it *is* capable.

In my opinion, when it comes to blasters... or any other component.. RE'ed is the way to go. If that means collecting loot then take your time and make buddies with a shipwright. My blaster is hitting for 2843 and is a lvl 6 RE'ed. I actually like the fact that on the intercepter the guns don't converge. This allows for better coverage and almost makes up for any mistakes in targetting at high speeds.

Agreed on both counts, an RE'd blaster will have a significantly higher total damage output than even the best crafted gun. (Yours looks jealousy-inducing for a level 6, by the way.) And I find the firing spread of an Interceptor can be pretty useful when you're trying to land a hit on a top gun A-Wing pilot.
