SOMEONE must be able to help me with this

Prioritize. Put your Engine, Shields, and Weapon in first. Fit your Capacitor and Droid Interface to that, and then get a reactor as close to your required energy as you can. If you have any mass left, you can start considering missiles, anti-missiles, and armor. You probably won't. Reverse Engineered items are going to be your best friend.

Remeber, Interceptors are fast-attack ships. You should concentrate on not getting blasted, rather than absorbing it. Wish I could help more, but the Pixie is still being constructed as I find a part that I can fit. Eventually she'll be a good ship, but right now I'm having mass issues, too.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've found that cert 4 (RE'd) capacitors seem to give much better returns against mass / reactor drain, I'm using one with 7k mass and a 50 regen rate (cap overload 3 means I never have to take my finger off the trigger, even with 3 guns) and I've made several with a mass around 2-3k with a regen between 40 and 50 (they go to the Imperials in my guild for the most part)

THanks. I kind of did a quick overhaul and some shopping before they brought Ahazi down AGAIN today. I actually am doing quite well, managed to find Mark III shields that regen so fast I'm not sure that I was even hit in the first place. Got an advanced blaster doing upwards of 2800 damage, and I'm housing tier 4's like nothing. I found a RE'd capacitor that lets me fire without stopping, and gives me a hell of a lot of shots if I overcharge my weapons. I love that little Interceptor. Now I am just wondering what ship to get at tier 4, since I will be there very soon. I have no idea how any of them handle, so it will be another experiment.
