The Colonial fleet's original workhorse, the Interceptor-class fighter maximizes offensive capabilities by redirecting engine reserves to weapons - a feature preserved from older models - for steady uninterrupted fire.

Weapons use boost energy after weapon energy is depleted.

Heavily boosts weapon damage and fire rate and provides unlimited energy. Killing an enemy increases the remaining duration by 1.0s.

The Interceptor is a subclass of medium fighter class ships in Everspace 2 that are intended to focus on primary weapons as their main source of damage, and to keep them firing for much longer than average.

For the ship in Everspace, see Colonial Interceptor.

Notes:[]

As described, this lets Primary weapons pull from the Boost energy when their main supply is depleted allowing for longer periods of sustained fire before switching.

Ultimate Ability (ULT)[]

Weapon Overdrive: Heavily boosts weapon damage and fire rate and provides unlimited energy. Killing an enemy increases the remaining duration by 1.0s.

Notes:[]

Tactical Analysis[]

A bit of a glass cannon. While an Interceptor with its various passives and Expertise can keep its Primary weapons firing for a great deal longer than other ships, it has absolutely nothing that boosts its innate toughness and its moderate-grade health and maneuverability will not endure sustained enemy fire for long. While its more efficient Primary energy use appears novel, other ships can achieve the same thing by simply cycling their weapon selection. The Interceptor does have some damage output boosts through some of its passives and the Overdrive Ultimate, but this damage is still surpassed by several other ships.

Overall, the Interceptor is a middle-of-the-road general purpose ship.
