I love Konstatine! And I am always trying different builds with him - but in order to use him we need at least two medium ships - and with The Empire that is a bit costy.
I usally combine the interdictor with a VSD and typically use a gladiator for some hammer and anvil action.
But I would like to hear your guys thoughts on him. How do you use him and what kind of builds do you manage?
i believe the next wave will help you out here, the quasar carrier is a medium ship and likely around the 55-65pts range, which while not a durable ship, its one that will greatly increase your medium/large count for konstantine

Yeah I'm really hoping the Quasar helps out Konstantine and the boat he came on - The Interdictor. Right now I cannot get a 400 point fleet I like with either. At 500, they can shine actually. At 400, the lack of enough Medium ships and the cost of the Interdictor (1/4th of you fleet) hurts.
I haven't played Konstantine enough to give you concrete data, but for my next CC I will try a Konstantine fleet with an Interdictor with G-8, 2 VSD I with Tractor Beams, a Gozanti with Slicer Tools and a screen of TIE Fighters and Interceptors. The idea is don't let the enemy ships escape the front of the VSD by slowing them down and prevent them from using manouver commands with the Slicer Tools. I don't know if it'll work, but it seems fun at least.
I think that to get a working Konstantine fleet one needs to step away from the idea of using him with G8 Interdictor. For example one of fleets that I used with him involved 2 ISD1 with tractor beams, 2 Slicer Gozantis and some squadron cover.

The first step to making any list work is not using the interdictor.
Look at your opponent and yell "I won't be denied the glory of this kill" as you recklessly plunge your ship with Konstantine into the heart of the enemy fleet. There is no other way to play him

I beg to differ 
I've had many a dictor list work, they can be quite fun to fly to be honest. Don't get me wrong they are not awesome but they are certainly fun to mess around with.

Yup, I've run the same thing: works great, lots of fun.
Thanks for all the awesome feedback guys!
