make them in a carrier and tell them to attack to come out then
Run ai script set generic command point at location
Run ai script units patrol to upper left corner (i think thats what its called)
after those two i beleive you can move and order them with triggers.
The interceptors need to be owned by computer players too.

I've never done this before either, but this is how I had always believed it was done.
Place a few computer carriers next to an enemy unit that keeps healing, so the interceptors keep flying out. Do this off of where the players can see. Whenever you want an interceptor to be used, simply Move Unit on one of the interceptors to your unit. THEN you set generic command point at location and run the AI script to patrol to upper left corner, as this is how you order interceptors to go the way you want. If you kill them, just reset the hanger amount on the carriers.

instead of healing (waste of a trigger 
) just set the units health to 0/0 in starforge, it will be invincible and attackable

Can 2 players shoot interceptors at the same time? If not, simply detect who shot the interceptor in the first place. How are you having the controls for shooting the interceptors?

as long as you have seperate triggers for each player, or use current player for the player its for that shouldnt be a problem..

I was originally thinking that there'd be a different trigger for detection of whether or not the shot hit or not, but now that you mention it, you could include it in the same trigger. Simple center a location on the interceptor right before it dies and kill ALL units there, which would kill the enemies too if they were under the interceptor
