I think you're right that with the changes an afterburner Rifter is the antithesis of an MWD Taranis. I wonder how it would stack up against a dual propulsion 'ranis... Jayka is the last person I lost a Rifter to in single combat :) Absolutely cracking kill on that Crow! I'd never call you stupid, mate.

Since the changes to warp scamblers I am yet to die to a blaster Taranis but I've also not yet come across one fit with an afterburner. Considering the relative amounts of ISK on the line I'd always have a go. Its only a Rifter, after all :) "Well-piloted" being the key, and rarest part of that sentence. Since

I have lost Taranis's to Rifters before. Are you calling me stupid? As far as I am concerned, the Rifter is the anti-Taranis. An AB Rifter will easily win against a MWD Taranis every time even if both pilots are competent. Even with Null S in you simply cannot hit the Rifter once it starts kiting you. When I am flying my Taranis I will go after a LOT of stuff but experienced pilots in Rifters are something I avoid like the plague so that this doesn't happen again: <a href="http://pwnt.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=8986" target="_blank">http://pwnt.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=89...</a> Lastly Wens, speaking of T1 frigs getting nice inti kills, check this one from yesterday: <a href="http://pcmk2.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=1354" target="_blank">http://pcmk2.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=1...</a> Poor guy lost quite a bit in that snafu.

Can I kill your fast more expensive ship with my Rifter? I'll try damn it! Great article, guide, and links Wensley. That's the spirit! Can I kill your fast more expensive ship with my Rifter?

A well piloted blaster taranis will never lose from a rifter. If it does, the pilot is stupid ;) I would be very careful with taking on taranises.
