Thinking of using the below setup as an allround utility setup for exploration in low-end W-Space (C1-C2). Any suggestions to improve the fit? I'll dualbox with 2 drakes plus this ship, which will be sitting at a safe until the site is clear, then warp in - collect loot - ??? - profit. It's a T2 fit (+ a cheapish CN hardener) to reduce the hazard to my iskies in case I fail.

I could also use some suggestions for my drake fit as an added bonus:

So I take it the fits are so awesome, you guys are letting the thread die so the secret doesn't get out?

On a phone, bear with me, please.

With L5 Electronics sub, you won't need the gravity capacitor on the Tengu. Anti damage rigs are fine. Use a core defence for the final rig.

On the Drakes, Core Defence Extenders as well, they give you a larger buffer in addition to improving recharge rate due to how shields work.

Use meta 3 launchers, save yourself like 20m isk. The cycle time ain't worth it.

Muad 'dib and Aestivalis Saidrian, thank you for your responses, I appreciate the input.

Anything else I can improve on?

Your Tengu looks nice. :P

For your Drake:
Use a Zainou 'Gyspy' KMB-50 implant for more CPU (about 20 mil only) and replace the T2 core probe launcher with a Sisters Core Probe Launcher. Replace the Arbalest with T2 Heavy Missile Launchers for more DPS. That way you max out your CPU to the limit and it might be less expensive than those Arbalest Heavies.

For the Tengu: Try to fit a 100MN AB. This thing will kick your ass out of anything in notime - means about 1700 m/s, no sig and cap penalty. Only problem could be the PG, guess you have to remove the XLSB for this and fit a LSB instead.

*EDIT*
I built a Tengu myself based on yours. I would suggest the following fitting:

Tengu Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst
Tengu Offensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Tengu Engineering - Capacitor Regeneration Matrix

It flies fuckin 2.000 m/s capstable and without any penalty. Only thing is that this Tengu has less DPS tanking and I had to remove the Interdiction Nullifier for the Fuel Catalyst with the thought that this Tengu is not a fighting vessel anyway and if it got locked its speed is the best chance to escape after all. Thanks to its speed, you can also kick the Small Tractor Beams II if you like and replace them with 2 additional Salvager II for faster salvaging since you are faster than the tractor beams.

Hope you like it.
