The Ares has quick lock-on times (even among other Interceptors) and a nearly top-rank speed (450 m/s base). While not as impressive in terms of damage as its sibling the Taranis, it more than makes up for this with the flexibility and range of a launcher hardpoint with a missile thermal damage bonus in addition to the Gallente damage and tracking bonuses to hybrid turrets.

The Ares, with a flexible module-slot layout and excellent speed, is one of the better tackling ships in the game.

Description & Bonuses

Name: Ares
Hull: Atron Class
Role: Interceptor

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.

Developer: Roden Shipyards

Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tends to favor missiles over drones and their ships are generally faster than other Gallente ships in their class. They generally have a substantial amount of hull modification options but limited electronic systems.

Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus:

• 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage per level.
• 7.5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret tracking speed per level

Interceptor Skill Bonus:

• 15% reduction in MicroWarpdrive signature radius penalty
• 5% bonus to Warp Scrambler and Warp Disruptor range per level

Role bonus:

• 80% reduction in Propulsion Jamming systems activation cost
