  Taranis is as good as all their other tier 2 tech 2 inty's limited to the same class ships and probably more vulnerable to dying to nos.

          I always went for the blaster taranis (neutrons). Deals awesome dmg and is fast enough to dodge medium guns. But as Butterdog said anything bigger than you with a nos and drones/webber will kick your ass.

          I've killed several other interceptors, T1 frigates, shuttles, loads of pods(pods are dangerous and scary and need to be removed from your overview ASAP), and a couple interdictors 1v1 in mine. You can also overwhelm some T1 cruisers with sheer dps, but you need to pick your targets.
  I prefer blasterranis by far due to dps, but I have used railranis to some small effect in the past.

  Believe me, as a person with real pvp experience that target painters are a LOT less common (and a lot less dangerous) than web/drones/nos.   тттттттттттт

          i fly only blasterranis
  killed solo so far: ****load of shuttles, t1 frigs, pods and hauler several destroyer - all of them were cormorants several interceptors - a few ares, several other blasterranis, and some others stealthbombers - i think 2 or 3 manticores  some t1 cruisers - like npc-fitted caracal, noob-fitted stabber, t1 pvp fitted caracal non-ecm, t1 fitted stabber pvp setup with web, some mining ospreys i think
  from which ships you should stay away? web/nos/drone heavy ships like dominix, vexor ...  t2 missile using ships - especially precision missiles hurt a lot higher tier cruiser that a.) have a good antifrig capability and b.) a good tank - aka rupture, thorax, maller, vexor frigs with ECM (that's the most ebil thing that can imho happen to an interceptor pilot ... getting killed by an ECM merlin) certain interceptors - especially those that are faster than you (if you're using a blastersetup) ... and jagerbomb setups are also nasty to fight
  but imho the most important thing is - watch some taranis movies so that you get a concept how and what you can engage and fly alot around. nothing beats experience. ___________________

  then i hope you never meet a blasterranis flown by a good pilot. a good pilot will likely get into his optimal range even before you're able to web him ... and without tank or ECM a caracal gets ripped to pieces so fast that it isn't even funny anymore ___________________

  well .. on the other side - a inty that isn't operating in web/nos-range needs quite some time to take you down (especially if you have a tank fitted :P ) ___________________

          Ive nailed in a Ranis, solo.
  Every type of 'ceptor, frig, stealth bomber. Handful of destroyers. Lots and lots of heavy missle caracs. Couple of Stabbers. Handful of NPCing cruisers/battlecruisers Raven (without nos ofc, kill its drones first) 5-6 Hulks + loads of other barges/industrisals 1 AFK Apoc in a belt in AZN who dropped a 550mil deadspace repper (was with a friend, but he'd have died anway... afk, honestly)
  ...but it really means squat, it depends entirly on the situation, what they've fit, how stupid they are, how they fly their ship (ceptors especially).
  Huge grey area.
