I don't know what it is but after trying out all the ships in the Imperial Fleet, the TIE Interceptor is my favorite.

TIE Oppressor - Okay, even fitted with a Level 10 Engine, it still feels like a slug.

TIE Advanced - This thing is fast, can carry more mass 65K and have two hard points for guns. This is my second favorite ship, and when I feel like I need more firepower, I bring this out.

TIE Fighter(Variants) - I fitted this out with a Level 10 Engine and a Level 8 Gun. This still feels like a bitsluggish compared to the interceptorbut, okay.

TIEBomber -This is a brick. You have to learn how to "slide" even the highest Y/P/R engines still make you slide.

And finally, my TIE Interceptor.

It's fitted with Level 6 Engine and Blaster. The rest are mostly lower leveled cobbled together to meet the 50k mass. This is the best ship to drive. No need to lead your shots. Just fly up the tailpipe at 20m, and blast away.

This is the most fun, I've had with the ship.

Mind you I just started exploring the virtues of the TIE Interceptor. I dared not go near it leveling up to Ace. In fact just like every other Post - ROTW world, you buy a Heavy TIE, level up to 4333 and buy a B-22, then use it to go to Ace. Yes. I know I'm one of _those_ people. Anyways, my B-22 is collecting dust. And my TIE Interceptor gets lots of use. It's the most fun ship and it just feels fast.

Right now my equipment is starter level. I just got into RE'd parts. So I had no idea before.

Right now, it's a PVE monster. Deep Space I can take all the A-Wings, B-Wings, X-Wingsand Gunboats. The Interceptor is very survivable, with the 1888 shields, it can take a few hits and keep on flying or just plain boost away in a tight spinning circle until you can shunt shields.

Now PVP, I really don't know. I haven't done PVP as I'm really still a Pilot Newbie.

I'm curious to know what other people's loadout of their TIE Interceptor. Again this is still a work in progress.... I just wanted to be up and flying.

Anyone who deliberately chooses a squint over a JSF or B-22 is Aces in my book.

Good hunting
