	: During the initial phases of the game damage to the Interceptors can be light but it will still require down time (in addition to the time reloading and refuelling the craft). But it is a matter of personal choice, I prefer to equip my 2 Interceptors solely with Avalanche in order to try to shoot down Terror Ships before they are able to attack. Its easier to deal afterwards with the crew but it requires that both ships are available.

			: Until plasma cannons become available, I found Interceptors armed with a laser and an Avalanche to be fairly good at harassing anything up to supply ships. In case the Ava fails to score a kill (mostly because of misses; I never saw more than two Ava hits during a single dogfight), the laser does the rest. Once plasmas are available, there's not much point in using anything else - except for scouts which usually go down (or in the case of small scouts, ''explode'') way before the Interceptor closes into laser range.--[[User:Amitakartok\|amitakartok]] 14:25, 12 January 2012 (EST)

	Wonderful analysis of the benefits of using the Laser Cannon, but I prefer not to suffer damage to my interceptors and I think that's the main reason why most people switch to Plasma Beams right away. For instance, if you are hunting Terror Ships it is suicidal to send an Interceptor and advanced craft will most certainly take damage, which severely reduces the sortie ratio. I think the possibility of craft being ground by repairs outweights any possible gains from using the lasers.

			: What sort of damage you allow your ships to take depends on how often you expect to UFOs to appear. Early in the game I don't mind a little damage to my interceptors as the time between UFO appearances early on is sufficiently long enough to allow some repair work to be done and still have the interceptors ready for the next sortie. I like to use up my default cannon ammo after all - it's awesome stuff.
