I was wondering if there was a better way of doing things than I am currently doing, I find that I still have some problems hitting my target while orbiting.
Currently i find my target and burst the MWD to close the distance, i turn off the MWD and press orbit at 500m which leaves an tight orbit of about 1km. I web and warp-scramble and blast away while orbiting.
My question is if there is a better way of attacking a target than the standard above scenario... should i be orbiting farther out or using "approach" instead of orbiting at all?
my current set-up
3 Modal Neutron Blasters 1 micro smartbomb
1 X5 proto webber 1 7.5km warp scrambler 1 catalyzed cold-gas MWD
1 Aux power core 1 Magfield stab II 1 Cap power relay
tips on set-up would also be appreciated, however I do think it is pretty solid.

due to the risk of getting webbede, I changede my tatics,
high: 125 mm rails x3 1x small sb
Med: 1x 1 MN MVD T2 1x 20 Km scrambler 1x small cap battery t2
Low: 1x Aux powercore 2x cap relay
I now orbit the target at 10-12 km, going 2500 m/s, this way cruise cant hit. Leaves me only vounable to heavy nos and neutraliseres

Using a Taranis like this is a waste IMO. You can do the same thing much more effectively using a Crusader. ----------------------------------------

why orbit ? :) i just approach. And id rather use nos if you can fit it, than smart bomb. ----------------------

sounds good - be careful on the approach as it lowers your transverse velocity and makes you easier to hit, especially then microwarping.
Also, don't forget that if your target pops while orbitting, you carry on in a straight line; if it pops while approaching, you stop dead (possibly literally if there are other hostiles in the area)
And Zel is sooooo right about nosses.

This is a PvE Deadspace setup. I can solo a level 4 complex with this.
Deadspace Setup
High 3 Named Light Ions 1 E5 Prototype NOS Med T2 AB T2 Small Cap Battery T2 Shield Booster Low T2 Damage Mod Micro Aux Powercore Power Diagnostic System
Antimatter Charges
Keep AB on, approach, release drones, give attack command, go in close 500-1000m, Nos, fire guns and enjoy.
Cap is life. I use to use Named Light Neutrons but those drained my cap too quickly, even w/ different ammo. Thats ok for short engagements, but for a large number of rats ya want to be cap efficient. If you have probs w/ cap in this setup switch to Uranium charges.
I've also used this setup for
Rat Hunting
High 2 Named Light Neutrons 1 Named Light Ion 1 E5 Prototype NOS Med AB2 Named Small Shield Extender T2 Shield Booster Low T2 Damage Mod Micro Aux Powercore Internal Nanofiber

Drop the Neutrons, put on 3 ions, and a damage mod. You'll rarely ever miss when orbiting @ 1km. --

What us smart people do is:
Taranis - Anti Frigate (Kill pesky frigates tackling ships in a fleet) 3x neutron blasters, 1x nos mwd, web, burst/racial 2x aux, 1x cpr
Taranis - Solo Hunter (Solo hunter to kill them indy's full of zyd) 3x ion blasters, 1x nos mwd, 2x scrambler 1x aux, 1x cpr, 1x cpr
Incursus - Tackler (Just the basic tackler) 3x ion blasters mwd, scrambler, web mix of cpr/pdu
Griffin - Grabber (Just the basic grabber) Irrelevant 3x sensor boosters, ruptor signal amp
Punisher - Tackler (0-20km tackler) Irrelevant mwd, ruptor 4x cpr
Good luck and have fun.

you need 2 scramblers for indies?

Most Indy pilots I have found in 0.0 use more than 2 stabs so this is probably a good idea. ____________

Lots of set ups here using aux pow core units. Wouldn't it be better to use a power diag? You get 5% grid out of it plus you get all the other goodies, more cap, cap recharge, plus the shield output and recharge bonuses. Been looking really hard at Ares for a tackler cause I like the launcher points but I'm guessing Taranis is the way to go since it has the 3 med slots instead of only 2.
Never used an interceptor before. Do you have problems with turret tracking moving at such high speed? Or does the sig radius of a larger ship make up for it? Not much a fan of blasters, much rather use rails if I can, and get a bit further out. Guess with new EW changes though even trying to get out there past 10k won't matter a whole lot.
Do you gotta have the 3 mid slots period or is 2 good enough? Would run a MWD and a Web. With EW changes you guys think scrambling is still going to be an inty task or more of an EW specialist task? Maybe on a cruiser instead? Rather go for Ares but Taranis will do if that 3rd med slot is absolutely necessary. Any advice?

3 ions mwd, web, scrambler 3 cpr
end game ;/
you can get fancy, and try stupid approach techniques or setups with dmg mods and micro aux but youre either giving the enemy time to web you or your cap will die - if you cant run it all forever youre useless tbh _____________________________________ Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning.

Why 3cpr digi
I've tried this on sisi and it worked quite well.
3x Modal Ions 1x Cold gas MWD 1x web/scramble 3x dmg mods
Sadly, i somehow beat 2 taranis pilots, one with hybrid 5 spec 4, the other with hybrid 5 spec 5
I have small hybrid 3 so it must be this new wonderfull luck based EW....ftw Lovely ship anyhow, wish i could fly one sometimes ________________________________________________________

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. I typically find my set ups are better if my cap recharge eventually runs out. As in adding a damage mod, or nano fiber, in place of a CPR. You'll get better performance out of your ship, and win more fights, even if its with next to no cap.
I do see a point is being able to substain a MWD and your scrambling equpiment forever. Say if the pilot were attempting to hold down a Bs for example. However, most taranises can do that with only 1 CPR. Just have to remember to not fire your guns and concentrate on the tackling part first.

Im going to guess you dont fight much in a taranis. You really really really should stick a magnetromic backup II to keep those pesky crows and their ecm at bay. It helps defend yourself against vigils too, they like to run ecm as well and getting killed by a vigil in a taranis would be very embarrising.

Are you serious? The only time I have ever encountered ECM from a Crow or Vigil has been when someone has docked and fitted it specifically to annoy me. Even then they can't kill you. If they are running ECM, they have to drop either the web or scram. No web = MWD out of scram range and warp out. No scram = warp out straight away. A backup array on a Taranis is a waste of a low-slot. ----------------------------------------
