## Summary
The Stiletto is a popular interceptor: its 4 mid slots allow for more tackle/utility modules, and/or a basic shield buffer, leading many pilots to prefer it to the Malediction and Ares. It is strictly better than the Crow for the core roles filled by a fleet interceptor due to better speed, better agility, and faster lock time.
## Skills
The Stiletto has tight fitting, so pilots will want high fitting skills, either IVs or Vs. Other core relevant skills include: Navigation IV/V Increases Speed by 5% per level very handy for catching another ship; short training time (about 4 days) and useful for any ship. Signature Analysis IV/V Increases targeting speed by 5% (1x, and again about 4 days to V); helps pilots quickly lock and point a target trying to flee. Propulsion Jamming II/III Reduces capacitor burden of running points, scrams, and webs; allows the T2 versions of these modules at II Acceleration Control III/IV Boosts MWD/AB speed. High Speed Maneuvering III/IV Allows T2 MWD at III and for each level decreases the cap burden of running the MWD by 5%. Spaceship Command V 2% agility per level; short train, helps in flying any ship, and allows tighter turns, to keep Angular Velocity high.
## Tactics
Most fleet interceptor tactics are fairly consistent across different hulls. Aspiring interceptor pilots should practice manual piloting at speed; YouTube has some good videos illustrating spiraling in safely to avoid gunfire, and keeping enemies at a set range while tackling them.
