My Tengu (well, my main's) -> Heavy Missile Lvl 4 Tengu (expensive)

Max DPS, cap stable, and 661 m/s. Use Fury ammo on t1 frigates (don't bother switching to T1 ammo,) and on cruisers, elite cruisers and bigger. Use T1 ammo on spider drones and elite frigates.

If you run into CPU problems, either use a faction hardener or drop the 2x Flares for a single Rigor I.

If you want to salvage, you can drop in an Adaptive Shielding module plus Salvager and drop one of the SBAs.

Hardeners:
Angel: Expl + Invul
Serp: Kin + Invul (or Kin + Therm)
Guristas: Kin + Invul ( or 2xKin)
Sansha/BR: 2xEM
Caldari State: Kin + Therm
Mercs: Therm + Invul

Meh, no tp = no thx. Tengu's get an overheating bonus, the SBA takes away from that. Use a large C +TP instead of 2 small B's, and drop the SBA for a hardener.

It wont be cap stable when you do all that, but if you need a cap stable tengu for l4's... just no.

Back before I got into a Golem, I would use this for missions:

The CCC dates from before I had finished maxxing all my capacitor skills, and at the time I only had 3 navy BCS. I never changed hardeners; this tanked every mission I ran including the bonus room of AE4. I would change missiles depending upon the target.

I used to mission in Gallente space with this fit where I would primarily get missions vs. Serpentis. I would intentionally get full-room aggro and never went into armor even once. Using T2 HAMs instead of the HMLs would increase the DPS slightly, but I found that the extra range of the HMLs allowed me to complete missions faster than I could with HAMs. The single CN Invuln was sufficient even when fighting vs NPCs from factions other than Serpentis. I also preferred the TPs/CCC rig combo over using Missile rigs because the TP/CCC rig combo allows me to A.) be cap stable without having to use the Cap Regen Subsystem, B.) Allows me to have 6 launchers (not 5 five if you switch to Cap Regen Subsystem), and C.) hit elite frigs with two TPs when needed, or hit non-elites with 1 TP (use other TP on backup target so TP cycle times are not an issue).

I would not need to ever refit different hardeners, change out subsystems, etc when accepting missions. I would simply dock up, request a missions, check that it wasn't in lowsec, accept it, undock, and kick some NPCs in the teeth.

You could supplement the tank by using a set of Crystal implants, but I never found it necessary to do so. I, however, did use Hardwiring - Zainou 'Snapshot' ZMH2000, Zor custom Navigation Hyper-link, Hardwiring - Zainou 'Deadeye' ZMS1000, and a Hardwiring - Zainou 'Deadeye ZMM1000 implants.

This fit is cap stable, does up to 740 DPS, moves at 683m/s, and tanks up to 1721 DPS vs Serpentis (659 vs. Sansha, which is still plenty due to Speed/Sig radius of the T3 ships). The price of this fit is approx 2.9-3.1 billion ISK, which may be a drawback for some people or may cause you to be a juicy target to gank, but using insta-undock BM's at the stations you dock at, and jumping through stargates as soon as you land on them reduces the chance of getting ganked significantly (which are good things to do when flying any expensive ship).

I still use my unprobable (now very hard to probe) fit. I can and have used this fit with T2 BCS and T2 med shield booster and done L4s with no problems (but watch your ranges). I have never gone into armor in any mission and only rarely do I make it past half shield (always because I screwed up). Its cap stable with everything turned on. No refitting to worry about, no drones to worry about and use only scourge so no missile damage types to worry about. While I could swap out the cap battery and shield boost amp and go for burst/overheated tank, I honestly can't think of anything worth putting in the same slots except painters (see my previous rant above) or resistances. So, I opt for minimal clicking and maintenance and go for cap stable amplified perma boosting. Generally all I ever have to worry about is watching my ranges and locking targets fast enough to keep the missiles spamming.

This my exact setup but I use Caldari Navy Invul and Caldari BCU Caldari Boost Amp

Oh and republic afterburner cause it is cool and gives me stable cap.

Could run a Damage Controll II but no real reason to I dont even change out my photon II hardner on missions

With my skills 808 DPS with missile implants and Scourge Heavy Missiles, a little over 700m/s. Cap stable.

I use deadspace passive hardeners, not that expensive, no cap use, low fiting reqs and give excellent resistances with the shield compensation skills.

RoF rig can be changed to Rigors/Flares - it's a matter of taste if you want to kill the frigates and cruisers faster or do more DPS to the battlecruisers/battleships. Tanking is a breeze, even Angel Extravaganza bonus room is a walk in the park and you can tank every room, even if you shoot the triggers first. Almost too easy. Just shoot the webbers first (Silence the Informant room 2 is by far the most dangerous L4 mission)!!

Yes expensive and a very attractive suicide gank target.
Use warp-out bookmarks just in case. Don't travel around on AutoPilot.

My 5 cents : tengus are favourite suicide gank targets because of their low ehp. So try to keep it cheap (for example 4th cn bcu adds only around 7 dps over t2, but its 120mil etc.), fit lse as buffer and always use omnitank (invul + em).
