A interdictor, or cruiser will catch a ship with that align time, as will a heavy dictor with a sensor booster - dependant on player skill of course.

There are no sentry guns on a null sec gate.

There are no sentry guns on null-sec gates.

Interdictors can launch interdiction spheres, which are bubbles that prevent anything inside the radius of about 20km from warping, so those are a good bet. They only work in null-sec though.

For low-sec you will need a ship with some sensor boosters that can also tank the gate guns. Heavy interdictors are good for this, especially if they get remotely sensor boosted by your gang-mates.

A Lachesis with a couple sensor boosters would have a good chance of catching a frig, especially with its long point/scram range.

Pretty much any ship with enough sebos and/or remote sebos can catch any non-cloaky ship before it can warp.

Although, I have seen faction frigs with istabbs that could get into warp before the cloak animation dropped. I'm assuming that the frig doesn't hit overview until the animation ends, but honestly even if it doesn't there's probably no way for a human to react fast enough to catch such frigs.

Sensor boosters + Scan resolution scripts + Targeting system controllers + Remote sensor boosters support = VERY fast locker.

"What ship can catch a frigate at a gate"

So let me get this straight. You are asking us what ship might be good for Interception ? ....... hrmmmmm, well that is a difficult question.

How well does your interceptor tank gate guns?

I think a Legion is pretty high up there and can tank the guns fine

Conclusion: use Sensor Boosters (and Signal Amplifier)
Smaller ships lock faster but frigates can't tank lowsec gate guns.

EVE servers have internal 'tick' of 1 second. So stuff you do happens once per second and all actions are rounded up to nearest full second (other than guns/modules on autorepeat if action takes more than one 'volley'). For example if you have RoF of 6.1 seconds and can pop targets in 1 volley then in reality your RoF will be 7.0 seconds as it is rounded up.

I do not think you can make anything warp faster than 1 second. Well ok - perhaps pod or shuttle with proper gang bonuses. If it takes more than 1 second for thing to warp it can be nailed (in theory) by having sensor boosted tackling interceptor that has point running 'hot' and has inhumanly fast reflexes(or who is bot). For example Raptor with 2 sensor boosters and 3x Signal Amps will get scan resolution of ~3300 resulting in locking speed of 0.8 seconds on a pod. Less for anything else.

try something like this if you are not afraid to invest some money. has 1257 scan res and can permatank sentries. you can play around with the fitting to get some more scan res out of it, by replacing one targeting system sub for example. i wouldnt recommend it however becaue even 1200 scan res is often not enough for the faster frigs.

otherwise its a nice ship, i flew a simmilar legion and got quite some kills with it before i lost it to 3 vagas and gateguns. i had 3 targeting system subs there though so couldnt hold on for a couple of seconds longer to deagress- this one is a bit tankier so you should be able to deagress in time if **** hits the fan.
