"There's a reason the blaster taranis is flown by mental cases.

Fear is a handicap when you're travelling at 4km/s in a metal death tube with thin walls and three small nuclear devices strapped to the outside.

Should you survive for more than two seconds inside web range, the poor sap you fire those blasters at is seriously going to regret not having a web/tank/neut/whatever as you rip his face off at a close enough range to go through his pockets as you do it.

The other outcome is that you wake up covered in slime wondering where the bus that hit you went.

The taranis is a ship for angry men or people who prefer to deal in absolutes. None of that cissy boy, "we danced around a bit, shot some ammo then ran away LOL", or, "I couldn't break his tank so I left", crap. It goes like this:

You fly Taranis. A fight starts. Someone dies.

There is no other possibility." - Stuart Price.
