I never send interceptors to engage battleships- they never come back.
Oh yeah, does it matter how many heavy plasma I have in stores? I was just researching alien alloys, going nowhere, recovered 100 alloys and it suddenly went to average. Interesting... but just asking.

It doesn't matter how much of an item you have in stores. I'm 100% sure of that. What I think is maybe if you assigned additional scientists at the main base, the game didn't update the research progress the same instant you assigned the scientists, but only after you finished a mission (notice that often the progress is showed as being "unknown" when you start a project, even if you assign 100 scientists to it, but this changes after a short while?)
Interceptors are no match for battleships, except if there's 3-4 of then, and even then you're likely to lose 1 or 2. Also, you must either have them all at the same base (very expensive and needs many hangars) or they'll likely be unable to get there in time or run out of fuel.
