The new interceptor firing arc is extremely limited. So much so that outside of a straight-on stack you are dealing less than 50% of your maximum output. I suggest that the firing arc be widened to 180 degrees in front of the ship to allow for some small degree of attack manoeverability still.
Get +spin speed instead of +max speed to overcome this disadvantage.
You aren’t meant to fly at high speed with 100% damage all time spinning around a target.
