Quicksilver Interceptor is a tier 9 corvette used by the Fringe Systems Resistance.

Tactics

Fragile, but very fast, this ship shouldn't pose too much of a threat to most players but can catch kiters off guard with its powerful forward thrust for its size - capable of going over 100m/s. Its weapons are somewhat dangerous and can pose a threat if you lack the means to kill it quickly - point defense can mitigate the impact of its cannons, but not its ion beam emitters. If you have disruptors, the Quicksilver Interceptor shouldn't be that threatening due to its reactor being protected only by shields with no armor.

As previously mentioned, this ship can pose a great threat to kiters with its speed, but clever railgun and EMP missile usage can detonate the reactor in a single blow if you can take down its shields before it takes down yours. While strafing the Interceptor is theoretically effective as it'll cut off most of its weapons, this ship's speed also allows it to turn very fast, making this easier said than done. Ramming the Quicksilver Interceptor can work well, especially if you ram its side, but it can still fight back while being rammed. Flankers will be very effective, as the Quicksilver Interceptor's sides and back are undefended, and flanking allows you to destroy its control room and salvage its ions for diamonds.
