The Side-Interceptor is a Tier 4 ship that fires a rapid stream of two lasers straight forward. It is an excellent ship for fighting other players when fully upgraded and also farms well. It has excellent firepower and decent speed, making it a formidable opponent for many ships. It can also perform efficient hit-and-run strikes because of its brilliant acceleration and agility. (It's the second most agile level 4 in the game, only behind the Vanguard.)
While piloting the Side-Interceptor, it is generally recommended to upgrade Energy Regeneration first. If you decide to skip to the next tier, it is best to upgrade only energy regen. However, a fully upgraded Side-Interceptor is a great ship for fighting others, since its good speed and incredible acceleration allow quick getaways. This also is one of the best level 4s in Team Mode attack groups, especially with full attack pods, since it can weave between teammates to tear enemy ships apart.
Additionally, you can combine the Side-Interceptor with 2 defense-pods and 2 attack-pods, creating the ultimate destroyer for almost all Tier-4 and Tier-5 ships. This ship is highly effective with secondary weapons. Do note, though, that it is vulnerable to pulse-type ships: Pulse-Fighter, Y-Defender, U-Sniper, etc. (Although, when this ship is maxed out, Pulse-Fighters and Y-Defenders aren't much of a threat anymore.)
This ship can win against heavy Level 7 ships: with its high agility and fire volume, one can kill heavy opponents like the Aries and Odyssey with heavy use of RCS. Circling enemies to attack from their sides (heh) is one of the best ways to take out larger ships, and the strategy can even be used against some smaller ships. However, do not attempt this against an A-Speedster, which can outrun you.
NOTE: Never ram using this ship. If you are dueling one, try to ram it, since its low mass won't hold up for long.
