Capable of launching warp-disrupting interdiction spheres, interdictors are of great value in locations of strategic importance where enemy movement must be restricted. Additionally, much like their destroyer-class progenitors, they are well-suited to offensive strikes against frigate-sized craft. 1 2 1285000 7 320 4 58 Those stuck in what was, will not survive what comes next.

Summary

The Sabre is the Minmatar Interdictor. As an Interdictor, its primary reason for existence is to launch warp disrupt probes and thereby to prevent the enemy fleet from warping. Its high speed and Minmatar Tech 2 shield damage resistance profile have long made it a popular option among the four light interdictors. In small gang PvP situations, the Sabre can also muster respectable DPS.

Skills

As a Tech 2 ship, the Sabre deserves strong support skills and fitting skills. Since it tends to be shield-tanked and is popular in part for its mobility, shield tanking skills and navigation skills particularly draw out its strengths.

Tactics
