Okay so now that I am 3322 Imperial Inquisition Pilot, NOBODY EXPECTS THE IMPERIAL INQUISITION!, I have been debating which ship to purchase next. I hear the TIE Boomber is a pig but have not heard much about the intercepter. I think I need to upgrade the TIE/In but am really torn between the two ships. I am new to the game and this is my first profession that I am working on to get master. Whole reason I got the game is for the space combat.
I am on the eclipse server as Cybane if you have any advice it would greatly appreciated

the interceptor is a good upgrade from the tie/in... they are very similar. The bomber on the other hand is a tank... more guns more mass really bad turning. So if you like being fast and maneuverable go with the interceptor, but if you prefer to slow ship with big guns and can take a beating go with the bomber.

I used the HVY Tie. Much better. The weight allows you the shields , armor and engine you will need and the manuvere to live. When you start getting attacked by 10 ships I am not sure if a bomber will help you. Then jump to the JSF for the 2 guns .
too bad we have to wait so long for 2 gun ship.

A TIE bomber would fair you better in PvE, since it doesn't seem like you're going to be doing much PvP as a 3322. Yes, they are slow, but the extra gun slot, extra ordnance slot, and 5x mass of the Interceptor works wonders when you're doing missions. You'll have very capable shielding and good weapons as well as the ability to hold decentarmor, which is something the Interceptor usually has to go without. Don't bring this "pig" to Deep Space, but while you're grinding up, sure use a bomber.
