One of my characters likes to do FW missions for all races.

He used to use a purifier but has extracted those skills. Also I don't really want to have SB skills that can only be used
in a few factions.

The only skill he has of relevance is Caldari Cruiser V

(He flies a tengu. But no missile skills)

I hear Tengu or Cerb is boss for level 4 FW missions. I've also seen a guy using a Barghest once.

I suppose even a drake could be used, eh?

Comments welcome. Fits are even better.

if the ship is only good for one faction, please let me know.

There's a 3 day old youtube vid of a guy using a JACKDAW, and doing well. Any comments?

And... thanks for reading.

Do you have your character on eveboard?

It's rather hard to offer you any suggestions at all, without understanding exactly what you can fly or not fly as well as your related skillset / levels of supporting skills.

I have a bunch of SP extracted so, in theory, I can fly just about anything.

Just because you can finish mission in some ship it does not mean you should use it. LP/hour can be very low for large ships, slowly warping ships like Barghest. FW missions are spread all over the enemy territory and the beacons are visible for every one. You will be ambushed and lose the ships a lot. If it is fun for you - ok, but if your main concern is to make ISK, then look for other means to do this. Costs of time jumping through entire battlefield and price for lost ships will make plain ratting in null sec more lucrative.
From that point of view PvP fit tactical destroyer is as good for blitzing FW missions as stealth bomber.

cloaky proteus is the ideal ship for caldari/gallente

i've used vexor navy and ishtar for amarr/min, but going back to get your sentry drones is a pita
