Removed from Game
This content used to be in the game but has since been removed or disabled.
The Interceptor was the first Fighter to have a Turret instead of spinal weaponry.
Description
The Interceptor previously spawned on the Nimitz and is one of few fighters that spawn with a Turret instead of spinal weaponry. The Interceptor can spawn with either a Medium Laser (S) or a Medium Flak Cannon (H). Currently it does not spawn in game normally, with the 13 Interceptors normally spawning on the Nimitz bring replaced by 3 Instigators, 3 Interceptor H-s, and 7 Foxfires.
Appearance
Like all fighter class ships, the Interceptor has little in the way of an interior.
Advantages
- It has a Turret, unlike most Fighters.
- Can quickly overwhelm ships in numbers.
- In large numbers, the amount of turrets of the combined forces can overwhelm other ships.
- It has decent health for a Fighter,
- Moderately accurate turrets allow the ship to combat moth large and small ships.
Disadvantages
- No Spinal weapons.
- Medium Turrets miss smaller Ships more often.
Strategy
- Make sure your team is in a bunch of these and aim at the same ship.
- Always go under a ship.
- Swarming with all Fighters from Nimitz creates huge damage comparable to a Battlecruiser or some Battleships.
- Good for warding off enemy scouts. Additionally, it can defend from Aliens when no one else is available.
Version History
- Small Flak Cannon replaced with Medium Flak Cannon / Light Laser replaced with Medium Laser in .61g.
Trivia
- These two Fighters originally spawned in the Nimitz.
- Previously the only fighter to spawn in level 3 Starbases. This was changed in a sub-version of update .61 that changed the Starbase design.
- Both S and H are the only Fighters to have a flag.
- American flags on the nose of the fighters pay homage to the US supercarrier from which the Interceptors' carrier, the Nimitz, gets its name.
- No longer spawns in game after being replaced by 3 new fighter types on the Nimitz.
