AX Build For Solo Interceptor Combat

My Mandalay build for fighting Interceptors alone. It is a shieldless build, it relies on cold orbiting to avoid taking damage from the Interceptor's main cannon. It is also flakless so flying with FAOFF is highly recommended. Not a beginner build.

Core Internal

  • Military Grade Composite - Heavy Duty, Deep Plating

  • 5A Power Plant - Armoured, Thermal Spread

  • 5A Thrusters - Dirty Tuning, Drag Drives

  • 5A Frame Shift Drive (SCO) - Increased Range, Mass Manager

  • 4D Life Support - Lightweight

  • 5A Power Distributor - Charge Enhanced, Super Conduits

  • 5D Sensors - Lightweight

Utility

  • 4x Sirius Heatsink Launcher

Optional Internal

  • 5D Module Reinforcement

  • Repair Limpet Controller

  • 2x 4D Hull Reinforcement - Heavy Duty, Deep Plating

  • 3E Cargo Rack

  • 3D Hull Reinforcement - Heavy Duty, Deep Plating

  • 2D Hull Reinforcement - Heavy Duty, Deep Plating

  • 1B Auto Field-Maintenance Unit

  • 2x 1D Module Reinforcement

Hardpoints

  • 2x Medium Guardian Gauss Cannon

  • 2x Small Guardian Gauss Cannon

  • 2x 2D Beam Laser - Long Range, Thermal Vent

I'm using 2 small and 2 medium gauss not only because the power distributor on this ship is small, but because the convergence is better when set up this way. This makes sniping hearts easier.

I set up the hardpoints like this:

And my Firegroups for the hardpoints like this:

Note: You have to lower the priority of the FSD to have power for everything when the hardpoints are deployed.
