Missions & Complexes

Hello there,

I will be able to jump in my Tengu in few weeks, and i was looking for a good fit with DPS and Tank in order to pass through all the Caldari Navy L4.

I made this fit :



342 Tank with a cycle of 1.7 sec.
601 DPS ( 2457 volley damage )
(Thats MY informations on EFT )

I was wondering if 342 tank was enough to pass through the must difficults L4.
I'm also hesitating between the Stasis Web and the Target painter, which one of these should I use ?

Fly Safe,
Mag.

will be fine if you keep high transversal with your afterburner and go after tackling npc's first.
you won't get much use out of your hardeners missioning for caldari navy though, fitting mission specific hardeners will give you a better tank. (but it's optional if you keep attention)

i'm advising strongly against precisions, as you should have tech2 rigor and flare rigs fitted, making precisions obsolete with decent skills. Even when shooting spider drones.

I use the small B type I think they are 50mil something like that it was 10 months ago when I bought them. You can use Pithi I just don't know the stats on them. They may be better than Gist I am not sure.

I think one though is going to be dangerous starting out unless it get like 160 shield points per shot. Just my opinion.

Ahh yeah cool, good booster then I just was not familiar with it. I was cheap ass when I bought my fittings.

How much is the pithi B? I might change to one and use that other mid for something also like a web or I don't know

I've found that the cheap(ish) combination of a Gisti B-type and a Pithi C-type is surprisingly effective (for exploration, but the tank numbers should work for missions as well). The need to cram other things in the mids precludes a boost amp on that setup but it still works.

For missions, I run a NH with two Pithi B-types, no boost amp, and it never comes close to trouble. But that's a considerably more expensive option (360 mil for the tank; add on the CN BCUs you're going to want sooner than later and the package pushes well past 1bil).

Gisti B-type + Pithi C-type < Pithi B-Type + Gisti C-Type for tanking.
The 2 Pithi B-Type seems to be too much expensive to me for the moment, but i'll remember the advice .



If you can pass through Lvl 4 with this, I think that I'll be pretty safe in my Tengu .

I just have to focus the web frigates ? Then I kill the cruisers and finally the BS ?

Do I have to keep the AB on during the whole mission ?
Where can I fit a Target painter if I have two Shield Booster ?

I use 2x pithi c-types, only ever have one active at a time the second is to purely buy time in case of mass webbing.

3 shield hardeners, rat specific configurations.

core c-type 10mn afterburner

2x CN BCU, 2x BCUII

744 dps with implants

Everything ranges from a joke to mild annoyance.

I could drop a booster and hardener for web and painter, but haven't found a need to, nor do I expect it would improve damage against elite frigs at all. Standard frigs die in 2-3 volleys with furys.

Any of those proposed shield boosters will do just fine the real strenght of your tengu tanking is its speed , aslong you can kill off any npc tacklers first you will be able to tank just about everything within a certain range

Also you don't need a web on that tengu , you probably better of with a target painter or if you doing mostly missions vs guristas a eccm mod
just my thoughts

Step away from the glue, target painters have no tracking. The only time 'chance' gets into ewar calculations is once you're out of the optimal of the module.

Well everyone must start somewhere and even they have to discuss their fits even if it's a t2 basic. Don't be so elitist.

Not that what Bloody said isn't right. The tengu needs shinies to show it's full potential.

The started I used was similar to this.

I'd suggest you go directly for 2x Riggor IIs (only around 52mil both) and an Extender for rigs which is my preference and what I went for. But it needs tight fitting skills so put whatever you feel comfortable with. Obviously...Don't fly it unrigged and try to go for t2 rigs.

the 2x Gist-b you can find them around 100mil and the Fed AB is around 27ish.

You never really worry about tank and usually I don't even bother fitting rat specific resists cause it doesn't make a difference. You can draw aggro from the whole room and still yawn and if you'r bored of speed-tanking you can lose the ab and be stable with the booster running. Orbiting range also proved laughable cause I usually just orbited the next acc gate at 1km and went through the miriads of targets. Webbing frigates are a little annoying but they are dealt with in a timely fashion by a group of Scourge Fury Heavy Missiles. Plus with the rigors you go with Furies which is a cheap ammo for l4s compared to navy missiles.

Once you grab the caldari ballistics (first priority) you can lose the CPU subsystem for the dissolution siquence and don't bother anymore with eccm or if you'r that annoyed you can lose the AB and go for an ECCM.

Edited. Sort of implied but the tengu should be flown at close to all subs level 5. it takes around 15 days...it's worth it. Offensive/Engineering/Defensive should be at 5 de facto.
