General Information

Interceptors and AFs are some of the first T2 ships that new players get to fly. Training for these ships takes relatively short period of time compared to other ships, and the small-ship tech II fittings require less skills than T2 mods for battleships. Both inties and afs are quite useful for solo/small gang PVP and afs do quite well in running complexes, level 2/3 missions, and belt ratting.

What to Focus On

There are two skillsets that you need to focus on with small ships: navigation and fitting. Small ships are very difficult to fit, so don't even think about skipping that Electronics V or Engineering V skill and try to get Advanced Weapon Upgrades skill as well. Speed helps these ships keep alive, as such all relevant speed skills need to be trained to level III/IV. In PVP these ships are used as tacklers, so train corresponding tackling skills to level IV or V.
