Wormholes

Hey all, I've been messing around with a couple of fits in Pyfa in preparation to begin some wormhole operations with an alt and I. My alt will be doing the scanning, salvaging, hacking, etc. The problem I'm having right now is deciding between two Tengu fits.

The first fit sacrifices DPS for HPS while the second sacrifices HPS for DPS. How much DPS and HPS is required for up to C3 WH's clearing sites solo? Is either overkill in one direction? Are the fits completely terrible? Any help is appreciated! I am just starting to fly the Tengu.

Thanks,
Sakari Yuki

This is a very shiny fit, which will lookgood on a killboard.

For C1-3 you should be able to get by with a T2 fit with some active attention to capacitor. If you get tackled by a small gang with neuts you're screwed not matter what.

You should be able to amortize the cost of a T2 fit in about 10 C3 sites. This fit will take you 40-50 depending on melted nano salvage results.

A faction shield booster will make life easier. Dread Gurista should work fine.

I think I may do that. I figured C-Type modules were cheap enough, but you may be right.

I don't know about C3 but C1 anoms can be done easily in a drake with a target painter.
As somebody else said, bring the 2nd drake for C2 to run them faster but, if you insist on Tengu, drop most of the shini mods.

One CN BC in lows, use a faction shield booster amplifier (gurista is fine) and if you want a DED AB. Everything else, T2.
And if you insist in investing more isk, better use T2 Rigor and Flare.
They will help you kill the small sleepers faster.

I don`t see any of the officer mods requierd for C3 sites....

Please just use whichever fit is most expensive.

You have not specified what kind of operation. If you want to add content and be a shiny part of somebody's killboard please use the most expensive fit.
If you want to do the sites and become just a blip on the kb, use the cheapest fit that does the job. In this case Drake.
You will eventually loose them to another player whatever ship or fit you choose.

You could fly a t2 fitted tengu or a t2 fitted drake. What can you afford to lose?

I would say the tengu would complete the site faster with slightly better damage projection but you pay a lot for it.

Why not try it and see?

Yup.

I can solo C3s - some of them, anyway - in a properly fit Drake, even after Retribution 1.1.
HAMs are the trick.
You have to watch your tank and be careful on spawn triggers, and be ready to warp out when your tank starts to break, but it's do-able. Actually, I find it preferable - It's more exciting than standing back and 'F1'ing some HMs.

Bring an alt with combat probes to keep a watch for strange vessels - Spamming D-scan is not foolproof, especially against a skilled WH combat scanner.
You see someone strange, drop everything and GTFO. Or at least get to a safe and cloak up.
