Hi, I've just skilled inties... now, since I'm bored to always rat in my Myrmi, I was wondering if I could use my new-skilled Taranis to rat in 0.0 space (there are 950k max bounty ships)
I'm asking you all to give ideas, fitting and tactics or considerations :D
tnx in advance :)

It pretty much depends on what 0.0 space you are talking about. For serpentis the taranis should do just fine, guristas may work, but can get tough. The others I have no experience with. An AF will do you much better though :-).
Fitting would be,
3 blasters, 1 nos
Mwd, Web, either cap booster or cap recharger
small rep and hardeners depending on what you go against.
Make sure you kill detroyers first, then inties, then frigs, then cruisers, then battlecruisers, then BS. Don't ever have low transversal when firing up your mwd (and don't do it right before some missiles hit).

It can be done, but you'll have to go back to station for more ammo pretty often and you won't have much cargo room for loot.
You'll probably be best with a speed tank, and you'll need to watch out out for the rats close to the roids otherwise a single bump into a roid and your speed drops and BOOM.
ultimately I think you'll be making life very hard for yourself, inties are much more for PvP than PvE. However if you really want to rat in a frigate sized ship Assault Frigates can be very good. Seeing as you're Gallente and use a Myrmidon already you could take your drone skills and apply them to the ishkur.

Wouldn't an AB perform better, not rising you signature radius?
or you would be too vulnerable to missiles?
ah, the rats are Sansha's

because of the tanking ablities? wouldn't they get a lot more dps because of their lower speed?

You can probably do soft 0.0 like syndicate in an interceptor if it has a sensible number of guns (i.e. not a stiletto) but anything bigger than that and you're really going to struggle to break the tanks of the battleships.

I use a taranis to rat with, I use this fitting;
Highs - 3 modal small neutron blasters
Med - 1mn abII, 2 cap recharger I (dont need tech2 i think)
Low - 3 magnetic field stabilizer II's
With this fit and decent gunnery you will melt the battleships pretty easy.
When you come to a spawn fly as straight at the rats till u get agro. then u need to aviod flying straight at the bs as they will get a few hits and do loads of dmg. Kill frigs and especially destroyers first, then the cruisers and finally the bs. To avoid flying straight at the ships do a manual orbit route the best u can gradually getting closer by double clicking in space.
Best way to practice is to use a tech1 fitted incursus as you will get used to the tactics you need to apply.

Great info!
He is asking for suggestions about using a taranis, dont comment using another ship because maybe he doesnt have the skills.

I can rat in a ranis in non missile 0.0 rats in a pvp setup. So yes, its possible. You would obviously use blasters, afterburner and dmg mod, armor rep, cpr, web etc and avoid all nossing and webbing rats to be better at it.
It takes time to kill those buggers and you will need a dmg mod to break them. I dont think I have come across a rat I couldnt break its tank. Those destroyers hurt.

In this sole case the assault frigate is better than the interceptor. I would recommend the Ishkur-3 medium drones, 2 light drones, and 3 T2 neutron blasters with a couple T2 magstabs = well over 200 DPS.

i dont see whats so funny... you lose at tops 10% damage from that since modals are the same stats as T2, not to mention they have less fitting requirements and in 0.0 not everybody has access to full T2 equipment. next time you're going to post, dont

Ishkur or enyo are good. Ishkur if you are fighting something that isn't weak to therm/kinetic

using an enyo i can break 300 dps, tried and tested, now if you take the bonuses from the enyo and work out effectivly ''how many guns it has the damage of'' assuming ship bonuses you get 5... since the taranis hs 2 bonuses it has the effective damage of 4.5 guns with one less low slot, which will make another 22% difference using a T2 mag stab for an overall difference of around 35% damage to the enyo and combined with the fact the taranis will be moving A LOT faster than the AF andhas a smaller sig radius will take less hits

that's exactyl why I skilled inties first... the only problem I got is that rats i usually hunt launch quite some missiles, so if I get it I ll'be wrecked in a few hits...
