The Solrain "Interceptor" Type: Light fighter. Jumpgate TRi Even when the Light Fighter class was a lesser type of fighter, the Interceptor was an excellent ship in its class. With the recent upgrades made to it, it has become arguably the most powerful Light Fighter in existence. While it is the slowest of the Light Fighters overall – in terms of speed, acceleration ,AND maneuverability – Solrain engineers made the brilliant move of giving the fighter two size 2 weapon mounts running right along side the cockpit. Not only does this make targeting easy, but the variety of weapons available at size 2 make the Interceptor exponentially more versatile than the other ships in its class. An Interceptor can be tailored to practically any kind of mission – fighter combat, conflux combat, cargo stealing (possible with its large cargo hold), even mining. Perhaps what clinches the deal, however, is the MODx loadout. It has as many MODx slots as most heavy fighters do – meaning it can mount as many FlashFires as these ships do, and more than other ships in its class. In other words, it is a nearly perfect pursuit vessel – a true “interceptor.” The vessel’s only weaknesses are the aforementioned minor deficiencies in movement, and also slightly less armor than ships of comparable class. These are only fairly minor inconveniences, however, that are vastly overshadowed by the fighter’s excellent gun and MODx loadout. A dangerous vessel overall, and one that should be treated with respect even by Heavy and Assault Fighter pilots.
