Travel Interceptors
Travel Interceptors are among the most common methods of moving characters from place to place, and are easily one of the most useful types of ships you can have in nullsec. They're fast, ignore bubbles, and can only be caught by a skilled player with a specialized ship and fit. These ships have a ton of other potential uses as well including scouting, tac burning, and even hauling. You can never have too many of them, and you can never have too many characters capable of flying them.

Ship Fits and Details
Travel Ares
The Ares is the most versatile of the interceptors, with 2 potential utility mids and plenty of lows for tank and increased speed.

Travel Malediction
The Malediction retains the slot layout of the Ares, however it has slightly lower navigation stats which need to be compensated for through the fitting.

Travel Stiletto
The Stiletto basically flips the slot layouts of the Ares and Malediction, with 4 mids and 3 lows. This gives it an extra utility mid to work with and still keeps you comfortably insta-warp. This ship also requires the lowest skills to effectively fly of all the interceptors.

Travel Crow
The Crow is the only interceptor with only 2 lowslots. You do still get 4 midslots out of the deal, and you can technically still be insta-warp, but it's also the only interceptor in which you can't be insta-warp and have 2 hyperspatial rigs. In pretty much every stat you're better off going with one of the other ceptors over this one.
