Interceptors utilize a combination of advanced alloys and electronics to reduce their effective signature radius. This, along with superior maneuverability and speed, makes them very hard to target and track, particularly for high caliber turrets.

Speed and enthusiasm are the difference between loyalty and obligation.
The Raptor is the Caldari combat interceptor. It is bonused for small hybrid damage and optimal range, and shield resists.
When blaster-fit, the Raptor's DPS falls below that of the other hybrid turret combat interceptor, the Taranis, but its 4 mid slots allow it to mount more tackle or EWAR modules, or to leverage its shield bonus with extra tank. Its optimal range bonus allows it to begin damaging its target earlier, while a Taranis would use much more time to reach a good position to apply DPS.
The Raptor can also be rail fit, but its DPS isn't much higher than the Crow in this role, while the Crow also benefits from higher speed and a tackle range bonus. If no weapons are fitted, the Raptor has enough PG for two medium shield extenders and is quite tanky.
