Ah yea, I see that now. Isn't it frightening that such a newb may be in a Tengu at some point? Lol.

Thanks Killuha. Looks like that's swapping some of the speed tank and rigors or chillon's loadout for more shield boost yea? 1.5b is about what i can afford atm, but not afford to replace. In the time it takes me to train up to tengu+decent fit I imagine it'll be in my price range.

My friend has barely 2 mil SP and he flies CNR in lvl 4's.

Now he's going for Tengu..

herp derp, how can he afford a CNR?

Owait either spent $$. Or has a main and is spying on you.

Farming a lot missions, 8-10 hours/day or more when he is online. He also uses PLEX for game time, except when he paid subscription+client fee first time.

That char is his main and why would my real life friend spy on me and lie about spending $$.

Dunno, im just saying a CNR is a lot of money for a 2mil sp pilot to own.... Unless he knows something that i dont

hrm could u give a tengu fitting with ~600dps and 1k+ def that cost about 1,4-1,6B but not for free

with out any imps or so

What about a Tengu vs a Golem..? For missioning? Aside from the cost difference, is there a point going to a tengu if you can do golem?

Idk, I'm still learning about this shit

Golem is just overkill, if you can fly a golem then dont bother training for a tengu, unless you have other plans for it.

imo i would use a golem all day err day cause they are shiny

Golem is way tooo much and cost more or the same as a good tengu with more dps and tank.
Also you much more time to fly a Golem GOOD! not just sit in as flying good a tengu!!

Not cap stable are you? I use my fit because It's a lazy man's fit, and it leaves room for max damage to smaller ships. When I played EVE I had 3 accounts, 2 pvp and 1 pve, so I ran missions on half speed and as soon as me and my corp had some target to blow up I just left my tengu in whatever mission I was doing, orbit something at your max speed and you can go afk, as long as you have killed the webbing frigates.

Why 2x flare? Only frigs go fast enough to get a positive effect from 2 flares, you should use rigors instead since that will greatly benefit you fighting cruisers and battle cruisers, which are after all the majority of any mission. Why a loading bay rig? Don't you know about stacking penalty? Your rig will count in when stacking penalty is calculated, which means your last ballistic control system will be pretty much worthless. But since there is nothing better to use in a low slot you shouldn't replace the 4th bcu, you should replace the rig since there's much more better possibilities for that slot than your last low slot. I've done dps graphs in EFT and 2 rigor + 1 flare is the best setup.

To me it seems you have spent more isk than you need to. Of course my fit can be further pimped, but you really don't need to. With good capacitor skills you can get cap stable with the pithi b-type small shield booster, which is about 200mil I think. You don't need overkill stuff like that. Besides, you don't even have a propulsion mod, what the hell is that about? Haven't you realized that tengu is all about speed tanking? The speed is what makes you able to just go afk in the middle of a mission, like I did oh so many times to be able to pvp with my corp.

I would not bother with a Golem, at least not if you fight in caldari space. Caldari rats are not worth to salvage as it is mostly guristas, you will get more isk from just getting a new mission. Tengu fitted like I wrote will beat a golem no problem. The only ship that can rival my tengu is a nicely fit vargur or machariel.
