Rigsta Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.06.06 20:11:00 - [1] Edited by: Rigsta on 06/06/2007 20:15:35 I've been trying to get my head around how this can be useful. I prefer blasters on most gallente ships, so I'm a bit slow when it comes to railguns on frigates. I've been trying the following setup: 3x 125mm II, 1x small dim NOS MWD, 20km scram, Web SAR II, MAPC, Mag stab II To get good range on the guns I need to use spike ammo for 21km optimal, but then I just miss all the time. Changing ammo gimps the damage horribly, I stuck with thorium for the cap bonus and 11km range. I could kill most T1 frigates with ease, though I could do it about 5 times faster with the neutron setup (including time to get in range). Any ceptor with the MWD turned off and me orbitting just resulted in a whole load of misses. Crows had no trouble orbitting at 15-20km at 5km/s like they always do. The question is - is this typical of this setup? Low-none damage but able to scram from outside web range (in which case I'd just take the Ares)? What am I doing wrong here? Fittings or piloting? Meh I may try iridium ammo in a bit. But the DPS is approaching Ares levels :/ /me goes to read the setup threads for inspiration Originally by: Jim McGregor I felt the disturbance... it was like a million voices suddenly stopped whining for a second. Unfortunantly it then continued.
Marquis Dean Demise and Vestige 9th Fleet	Posted - 2007.06.06 20:17:00 - [2] With rails on a Taranis, it's not so much about it's cruiser-busting dps, or it's range, the main idea is to knock out other interceptors. You're never going to need a nos since you're fighting at ranges greater than that, if you plan to use a nos you may as well use blasters. I'd use: 3 x 125mm II w/Uranium or Antimatter 1 x MWD 1 x 20km Scram 1 x Cap Recharger 2 x CPR 1 x MAPC (if you need it, otherwise MagStab if it fits, otherwise nano) 2 x Mass reduction rig --- Originally by: Wild Rho I'm having a hard time getting over the irony of spelling "dumb" wrong.
Rigsta Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.06.06 21:07:00 - [3] Edited by: Rigsta on 06/06/2007 21:07:15 The NOS is just a slot-filler honestly - I needed the MAPC to fit MWD guns and a SAR, and had enough PG left over to put the NOS in the utility slot. I never say no to NOS :) And wtf @ the setup threads. They have elctron blaster setups and other really bad fittings in there Originally by: Jim McGregor I felt the disturbance... it was like a million voices suddenly stopped whining for a second.

Marquis Dean Demise and Vestige 9th Fleet	Posted - 2007.06.06 21:12:00 - [4] Can't argue with that :) I dunno about other setups, but I know reps on an inty never work. It's all about crazyspeedz. Get your speed up, then concentrate on your firepower, then your defences, which should be 99% speed, 1% 200mm plate or some such. --- Originally by: Wild Rho I'm having a hard time getting over the irony of spelling "dumb" wrong.
Byzan Zwyth Dark Centuri Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.06.06 22:09:00 - [5] rep's dont work? I often fit a rep and often use it. I start taking damage from warrior II's or similar turn on the rep and most of the time warp out quickly rep my armor back and warp back in again. Without the rep I would have popped or warped back in with nothing but a bit of structure left. Yes having a speed mod rather than the rep would help but I've tried both and found the rep really handy. ---------------------- Rank: Tech 1 and a 1/2 cannon fodder Pointless forum slowing bandwidth hogging signature pic inc?
Marquis Dean Demise and Vestige 9th Fleet	Posted - 2007.06.06 22:14:00 - [6] You should have either flatlined to reach your top speed or warped out long before Warrior IIs could even reach you. As soon as someone deploys T2 light scouts, it's time for the interceptors to leave. The only thing interceptors should ever take damage from is other interceptors, and that's why inty pilots often fit plates. --- Originally by: Wild Rho I'm having a hard time getting over the irony of spelling "dumb" wrong.
Larkonis Trassler Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.06.07 00:17:00 - [7] Reps and plates on speedtanked inties result in dead speed tanked inties. You should be looking to outrun any light drones deployed against you other wise you are no use as a tackler TBH. Orbit velocity of 4.5k/s is usually sufficient. ------------ Request for Privateer Sticky! Keep the forums clean!
Bollibompa	Posted - 2007.06.07 00:54:00 - [8] I use t2 150's on my Ranis
Raz Algol	Posted - 2007.06.07 01:55:00 - [9] I use, 3x 125mm rails and a offline remote repper 1mn mwd, 20km scram (fleeting for the reduced cap), webby (x5 for the price) 2x cpr and a dcu, or a magstab if im feeling lucky/uber Though the DCU saves my butt most of the time I use Thorium for ammo, mostly for the cap bonus, and the range puts me right outside the normal web range. and 2x warriors t2 It's a good fitting to kill off most other ceptors and the ocational cruisers in, and for tackling bigger shipps when in a gang. It all fitts with AWU 4
Goshinko	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:46:00 - [10] 3x 125mm II, offlined mod of your choice MWD II, x5 Web, 20km MFS II, DCU II, OD II Goes a good 4.5km/s with my skills, absolutely destroys other interceptors. Stole this setup off of awesome-ranis-pilot-that-shall-not-be-named
Rigsta Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.06.09 15:22:00 - [11] Thanks for the feedback peeps, goshinko's setup looks workable. I'm a bit addicted to my small rep though, usually used between battles (fleets especially). No-one fits remote reps/logistics drones :( Originally by: Jim McGregor I felt the disturbance... it was like a million voices suddenly stopped whining for a second. Unfortunantly it then continued.
Litus Arowar Amarr Obsidian Asylum Pure.	Posted - 2007.06.09 18:42:00 - [12] Originally by: Rigsta Thanks for the feedback peeps, goshinko's setup looks workable. I'm a bit addicted to my small rep though, usually used between battles (fleets especially). No-one fits remote reps/logistics drones :( get some of the bigger ships in your fleet to bring just one small armor drone, it'll already be enough... obviously more is better, but with some of the ships their firepower won't even be affected due to large dronebays, and it'll mean all your frigs can ignore reppers... oh and I recommend a DCU2 on every taranis... it has no drawbacks (except fittings, and the railranis has plenty of cpu) and given the taranis' thickest hull in class, it's simply free hitpoints... That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter. It is a combat drone used by carriers.

TresheR Fire Mandrill	Posted - 2007.06.09 19:15:00 - [14] A taranis is nothing without a dcu, simple as that. Oh, and forget truly speedtanking it. At the speeds required to 'tank', you won't hit anything. You're better off with an ares then. -------------------
