Description
This is the new model, texture, and hard-point set for our updated Interdictor-class Medium Frigate which will be available in v1.2 of ECM.
This vessel features two VV-4b Laser Cannon batteries, two AH-LRM Turbolaser Cannon batteries, and two ZPU-4AA Quadlaser Cannon batteries.
Thank you to {HEROIC}Doci for his fantastic work!

Love the extra detail on Interdictor SD. Keep up the great work.
That's actually the Immobilizer frigate, not the Interdictor Star Destroyer.
Bucman55,
You are correct, I will be renaming this ship to the Interdictor-class Medium Frigate.
Thank you.

In a future version will you add the Interdictor-Class Star Destroyer as a heavier, more expensive Interdictor?
Bucman55,
As cool as that may be, I'm not sure how useful it would be. I feel like having Imperial-class Star Destroyers and Interdictor-class Frigates together is stronger and still accomplishes everything that a true Interdictor-class Star Destroyer could.

We could do it as a little addon propably.
So is it only going to have the Gravity well Ability? Or will it have some other abilities?
umad41,
This ship has two abilities, the Gravity Well ability and a missile shield ability to disrupt incoming proton torpedoes/missiles locally.
Is there something else you wish it had?
{HEROIC}Elite
Will this ship mean the Victory class II SD will no longer have anti-missile capabilities?
Tino1148,
We are still deciding actually. What do you think?
On the Pro side, it makes the Victory II stand out from the Victory I and Imperial class Star Destroyers.
On the Con side, it's not part of the EU & it doesn't exactly make sense and it makes the Interdictor-class Medium Frigate somewhat useless once you unlock it.
{HEROIC}Elite
It does make the Interdictor useless, but I already don't bring the thing in the fleets because that's one less capital ship I can use (the AI has more then once left it alive after crippling it so it prevents me brining in more units)...Still, this is a much more viable ship than the version already in existence.
You can always give the Vic-2 point-defense
Since most ships have much more hard points then the vanillia version, will it be harder for bombers and fighters to swarm The Intredictor class ships? My real concern is just how the combat balance works over all. The Victory II SD in beta1.2 , was the only ship with anti-middle capabilities that could really stay alive in large battles. The intredictor, in my exprience, was easily destroyed by fighters swarms even when escorted by frigates and your own fighters.
The greater amount of hardpoints makes ship be stronger against Fighters and Bombers. An Interdictor is no warship therefor it will be somewhat helpless against fighters even tho it has quadlaser cannons which aim fairly well. It just doesnt have the capability to fight them alone. therefore you need carracks or Tartans or other fighters to defend it. The Interdictor is still pretty much invulnerable to Protontorpedoes since it has the Missile/Torpedoe distortion field and has quite good shielding to withstand light enemy fire.
I think staying as close to the EU is probably for the better. You guys have done a fantastic job of staying true to Star Wars lore. I know we all appreciate your time and willingness to answer questions about this great mod.
Tino1148,
