The Malediction has 4 low slots and 3 mid slots, allowing it to fit the standard fleet tackler complement of either two tackle modules or a warp disruptor and a medium shield extender in its mids. The Malediction has a slightly above-average powergrid, making fitting a MSE slightly easier. The Malediction's 4 low slots and slightly higher base speed than the Ares means the Malediction can support the best speed fit among the fleet interceptors.
The Malediction's armor resist bonus means a small armor rep can give it a decent active armor tank and opens up options to use it as a brawling inty. The Malediction's four lows allow it to be speed and agility fit.
