Yeah so I got bored today and am feeling a really bad Armada itch so I decided to see if I could make a viable Interdictor fleet since the big gray 'Dic is next on my list. I am also thinking of dropping Zerik to a regular Advanced and then popping on Interdictor on to my...Interdictor...Thoughts?

Any reason to not spend two extra points and add GSR to interdictor?

I don't feel it is worth it especially when I want a low bid to go first.

I would suggest maybe having Combat Refit on the Interdictor. For 3 points, you get a rather better dice complement, IMO, and it's not like you're using both Experimental Retrofits.

I'm not sure what you would take out to keep your bid, but I would also suggest getting Interdictor title on it.

Fiddled with it. Thoughts?

What would be your (preferred) setup / strategy with this build?

Looks pretty good to me. Your damage will be a bit better too. Now just spam engineering commands on the Interdictor and you're looking pretty good.
