pulse mwd may work pretty well but iirc a pulse scorch fit will get "only" 800 dps with 60km optimal or so. even with the mwd, the tengu is still faster, more agile and has greater range. now obviously, you shouldn't use the tengu on sansha just as you shouldn't use the NM on angels but if you have similar skills and shoot the 'right' rats, it should at least equal out imo.

I should buy an Ishtar.

The tengu is a mediocore mission ship at best because it max's out well under 800 DPS.

It has the advantage of being excellent at hitting smaller targets, but in missions a Mach or NM will be able to BBQ almost any frig before it gets inside your tracking.

If you fly Amarr/Caldari NM is the best choice and if you fly Mimatar/Gallente Machariel is the best choice. So IMHO you should fly a ship that skilling into will also skill you towards that NM.

Smaller ships are fun to fly in level 4's for the challenge and to break monotony, but NM/Mach are the kings. And I find that until you max out your skills, its not monotonous because you are constantly trying to improve your time.


i have to disagree. i fly both nightmare and tengu and in spite of having much lower paper dps, the tengu has similar if not better completion times (in the appropriate missions ofc.)
the problem with the nightmare is not only that it's slow. it also has horrible align times and in many missions where you only need to snipe stuff, the tengu beats it hands down. even in the missions where you have to kill lots of targets, i have found that the practical applied damage of the tengu is almost equal to the nightmare when there are a lot of cruiser sized targes.


You aren't using t2 sentries then.
