Right.. Seeing as the sticky threads are all locked (gj ccp ) i'm making a new one.
Was gonna use the ranis as a solo ship and need some new ideas. Here's what i got so far.
[Taranis, Solo] Damage Control II Micro Auxiliary Power Core I Small Armor Repairer II
1MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator
Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Small Nosferatu II
[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Hobgoblin II x2
If hunting ratters in 0.0 i think you could throw some resist rigs on to match the ratters damage.
Ideas please. ___________

There's basically 2 cookie cutters.
[Taranis, Ion ranis] Overdrive Injector System II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Damage Control II
Warp Disruptor II Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I 1MN MicroWarpdrive II
Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Small Remote Armor Repair System II /OFFLINE Light Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
Hybrid Burst Aerator I Hybrid Collision Accelerator I
Warrior II x2
This is the neutron version:
[Taranis, Neutron Ranis] Micro Auxiliary Power Core I Damage Control II Overdrive Injector System II
1MN MicroWarpdrive II Stasis Webifier II Warp Disruptor II
Light Neutron Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Light Neutron Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S Small Nosferatu I /OFFLINE Light Neutron Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
Hybrid Collision Accelerator I Hybrid Burst Aerator I
Warrior II x2
The Ion version does more dps but it doesn't have the same range with null as the neutron has which is quite important in ceptor v ceptor combat.

Edited by: mama guru on 22/07/2008 10:22:06 It's dificult to fit a good neutron setup, you should not give up on speed, dps or buffertank on any taranis setup unless you compensate with an equally valuble factor like tracking on superior range.
As such Ions is your best option if you insist on fitting blasters, neutrons are simply to hard to fit and they require you to sacrifice either DPS, tank, or speed and tracking for no signifigant gains over Ions.
If you want range you should concider 125mm II's
3x 125mm II
MWD/Web/Disruptor (whatever your CPU allows)
Overdrive II, magstab II, Damage Control II.
2x Hobgoblin II. Overall DPS is more important then tracking/speed since you should not release them till you have a ceptor Pinned down anyway, besides most ceptors either rely on a shield buffer or a structure buffer meaning EM/Thermal damage and the highest dps is what you should aim for.
Those who say this setup lacks in damage needs to understand that the only Ceptor that can outdamage a Taranis these days with a setup that is not totally gimped is another Taranis. As such your only fear should be other taranises.

The best part is the reactions from the other inty pilots when they go pop in a matter of seconds. |

Blasters put you inside web & neut range, both other which usually = podding. So you would have to be choosy about targets.
A safer option is 3 x 125mmT2 and orbit at 16km. It will take time to pop target so you need to micro manage MWD usage as 3 rails & MWD will eat your cap.
It really depends on who you are engaging and what they are flying, and obviously no-one can predict that... -- Rgds Mike

Blasteranis are only good for Killing other ceptors - but its VERY good at it if flown well.
I use mine for general tackling. Get fast lock and stuff, then bail once more people get a point on. Generally ill sit about 200km away and wait for a target to loose focus on me then warp in and melt some DPS. But if you dont like structure damage, don't bother with it.
I've also had good results with the 125mm ranis, very nice rail platform. -------

This is pretty much it. I personally prefer the Ion variety, I use Hobgoblin II's instead of Warrior II's and I don't bother rigging it because I lose one every few days. The neutron version I usually see people flying doesnt have an OD2 like shown here but instead a magstab2. Otherwise these are your best blaster fits.
If you want to fit rails:
3x 125mm Railgun II's/Prototype Rails (depending on your fitting skills) w/ Faction Iridium or some other long range hybrid ammo 1x MWD 1x Disruptor II 1x Small Cap Injector 1x MagStab II 1x OD II 1x Nanofiber II 2x Warrior II or Hobgoblin II

And a killboard search revails exactly how fail your opinion ois given your terrible PVP record and lack of flying like a taranis... ever.
Rail-Ranis is very hard to fly, but works well. Blasteranis is a bit more straightforward if you can overheat. Don't believe everything you read on the forums about how a ship should be fitted, 9/10 experience is better. I fly my huginn completely differently that the forums tell me too, but it's still effective for my play style. -------

The Rail taranis is exceptionally easy to fly in comparison to other setups. MWD,point+ web blablabla, by that time you're struggling to stay within 2km in your blaster setup. While a rail taranis is well into the targets armor. The only ceptor that is easier to pilot is the crow.

with lower skills the blaster ranis is beter, be it ions or neutrons aslong it got a dcu.
but with close to maxed skills I would use a 125mm rail setup because then you dont need to get into 2-5km range because that can be really hard with close to 10km/s ceptors (at less then 5km aproch dont work properly and moves you at yber slow speed)
but with this setup you can start doing damage from some range:
3x 125mm, offline mod gistii mwd, 20km point, named webber dcu, magstab, overdrive/tracking enhancer
with am you get 8km range and still outdamage all ceptors but blaster ranis (keep them outside 5km) and you get the option to use lead that gives 15km ish optimal and still eat any ceptor alive. and dont use orbit on ceptors! use keep at range 7-13km. dont ever drop the webb! even if you dont plan to be in webb range you want to webb stuff back that gets you webbed. allso you can slow down a target if needed for other ppl to get on it.
and train overloading!  --------

Been a while but something along the lines of:
3 * neutron mwd web point suitcase mapc magstab warriors lots of nanite paste
Play around in eft, it does fit with some named mods I just cant remember which off the top of my head.
People that don't like the blaster ranis lack the testicular fortitude to fly it properly and should train for a crow instead as it is more suited to a limp wristed playstyle.
(just fly an ares if you in a gang, any type of ranis fit will get neuted off / popped by hac)

Cept your are slow and chew through cap. And the ranis has a weaker PG than the other 2 turret ceptors, meaning fitting long range guns gimps it more.
1: We are talking antimatter ammo usage within webrange, the rail taranis is designed to be able to take out any other ceptortype with little or no difficulty. I've yet to loose a duel in that ship with a rail fitting.
2: I'll have the same cap/speed as any blaster taranis so whats the difference. Secondly, 125mm II's take up 0.9 more powergrid per gun compared to ions(AWU V).
3: The point of fitting 125mm II's is to gain enough range to be able to do 150ish DPS anywhere within webbing range, not just 2km. The result of that is that you end up finishing pretty much every inty fight you get conciderably faster, even if you loose 40 dps from swapping those ions to 125mm II's.

With that said the blasterranis is alot of fun to fly and a bit more challenging, which makes it more thrilling. But saying rails are pointless let alone worse is a testament to a lack of experience with the taranis.
read up, i advocated the use of rails on a ranis ;) -------

Rail Tanaris isn't quite as good as a beam sader but pretty close. A beam crusader will rip this ship to shreds, but seeing as how most everyone loves to fit blasters I think I'll take my claw and enjoy outrunning and outgunning you. 
Highs: 125mm Rails II x3 with Spike (if you don't like the tracking on spike, use faction tungsten or iron or something) Drone Link Augmetor (hell why not, i suppose you could keep an offlined nos in there)
Mids: MWD Scram Sensor Booster w/range script
Lows: Whatever you want here, I prefer Nanofibre II x2 OD
5700 m/s with my skills, 5900 m/s all V with T2 modules, no rigs. Aux thrusters give 6500 m/s so I recommend rigging this ship.
This was built more as an anti interceptor/frigate/AF ship, keep out of blaster/pulse/ac range and kill them without taking a scratch. Only weakness I see is against (duh) faster intys and a blaster taranis. Really anything that could hit you at 26 km out would be a problem, but you could push it to 30 and still kite those nasty HACs and cruisers. But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post. |

MAPC + DCU + Magstab 2 wouldn't fit even with best named point and x5/fleeting webs.
Would fit with an IFFA but then I feel it's a bit too expensive.

Named MAPC? Named DC? I'm not sure exactly what the fit is but it would be pretty silly to fit Neutron's with no MagStab and a MAPC as the DPS is worse than Ion's with a MagStab and no MAPC. ----- http://evenewb.blogspot.com/

Don't. No DCU forfeits your rights to fit a MFS2, so go full speed. OD2x2, Nano2 MWD, whatever tackle gear 125mm2 x3 [cn iridium, antimatter, iron, spike]
throw a collision and or burst rig on it if you want more dps. - FRIGANK |

Compared to other long range ceptors, a rail taranis is still rather uninspiring.
When you could be in a Pulse Crusader (or even a Crow), doing more damage, going faster and having better tracking (even with Scorch loaded), where exactly does a rail Taranis shine?
Blasterfit it is an absolute DPS beast, but in its long range fit, you just get uninspiring results.

I don't know why everybody thinks the rail ranis's damage is so pitiful. Sure it's not the 200+ of a blaster ranis but it's still a respectable 150+(1 magstab); second highest of any interceptor.
Think of the rail ranis as similar to a pulse sader but with a web. Sure, it's a little slower but heat/cheap implants compensates for it more often than not.
And unlike a sader which is pretty much dead if webbed by a blaster ranis, the rail ranis has a very good chance of surviving.
