When we first saw the flock, we were surrounded, caught in a spectacle of stimuli. Brilliant colors, dancing lights, beautiful cacophonies, wafting ambrosia. Those birds surrounded us, each one a different shape, an altered species, a new wonder. I tried to follow a single bird, but my efforts were futile: Transformation is natural to their existence. Imagine it: an undulating mass, a changing mob, all those beasts partaking in wonderful transmogrification. These were our augurs, our deliverers, our saviors. Standing amidst the flock, we should have feared their glory; instead, we drew hope. This moment is the first time I understood what it meant to be Caldari: Divinity in the flock, delivery in flux, one being, many changes. - Janto Sitarbe, The Legendary Flock SHIP BONUSES Caldari Electronic Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Caldari Electronic Systems effectiveness Caldari Defensive Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Caldari Defensive Systems effectiveness Caldari Engineering Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Caldari Engineering Systems effectiveness Caldari Offensive Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Caldari Offensive Systems effectiveness Caldari Propulsion Systems bonuses (per skill level): • bonus to all Caldari Propulsion Systems effectiveness Caldari Strategic Cruiser bonuses (per skill level): 5% reduction in module heat damage amount taken Required Skills Caldari Strategic Cruiser I41m Caldari Cruiser V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command II47m Caldari Destroyer III8h 53m Caldari Frigate III8h 53m Spaceship Command I8m Caldari Defensive Systems I8m Shield Operation V5d 22h 13m Power Grid Management I8m Mechanics III4h 26m [[Skills:Caldari Electronic Systems I]]8m CPU Management V5d 22h 13m [[Skills:Caldari Engineering Systems I]]unknown rank Power Grid Management V5d 22h 13m Caldari Offensive Systems I8m Missile Launcher Operation V5d 22h 13m Gunnery III4h 26m Caldari Propulsion Systems I8m Navigation V5d 22h 13m Training Time what's this? 60d 11h 3m 50s Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Tengu is the Caldari Strategic Cruiser. Strategic cruisers are made up of the hull and 5 subsystems that can be swapped for flexibility. The Tengu is a popular strategic cruiser for missioning because of its strong shield tank and long range missiles. It is not very popular in incursions because of the delayed damage of missiles, but its high number of mid slots allow a lot of utility modules like webs and target painters to make up for this. In PvP the Tengu is normally used as a kiter, but can be HAM fit for close range damage. Like all strategic cruisers the Tengu can be configured to fit a cloak.

Skills

• Caldari Offensive Systems and Caldari Defensive Systems to V because they greatly improve the Tengu's performance. Electronics V is especially useful for ECMgus. The other subsystem skills should only be taken to V when needed to reduce SP loss when losing the ship in combat.
• Heavy Missiles V, Heavy Assault Missiles V, and Heavy Missile Specialization/Heavy Assault Missile Specialization to at least I to fit T2 Launchers, which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than meta 4 variants, along with the ability to use T2 ammo types.
• Missile Launcher Operation, Rapid Launch, Warhead Upgrades, skills which increase DPS and are thus vital to all missile-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.
• Along with the requisite Engineering and Electronics skills required for adequately fitting most ships. Weapon upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V and IV respectively to help alleviate fitting problems.
• Guided Missile Precision and Target Navigation Prediction to at least IV to combat smaller targets.
• Missile Projection and Missile Bombardment to at least IV and ideally V to maximize the range at which all missiles travel.
• Caldari Strategic Cruiser to IV to reduce the damage incurred from overheating modules.
• Shield Operation and Shield Management should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity and recharge rate. While Tactical Shield Manipulation should be trained to IV to lower shield penetration chance and Shield Management to V to allow the use of the T2 Shield Boost Amplifier module.
• Shield Upgrades should be trained to IV to allow the use of T2 Shield Hardeners, Resistance Amplifiers, Shield Boosters, Shield Power Relays, Shield Extenders and Shield Rechargers.
• Finally, Hull Upgrades should be trained to level IV to allow use of the T2 Damage Control module.

Tactics

Tengus are one of the most popular T3 cruiser doctrines among both null-sec and low-sec alliances. They are usually flown in one of two configurations. Large groups will usually run a brick tanked, long range rail Tengu, which is used to snipe from long range. Smaller groups, with little or no logi support, will run a doctrine affectionately titled "Slippery Petes". These Tengus are run nullified to ignore bubbles, with ECCM in the low slots to make them difficult to probe down and tackle. In fact, you need a bonused ship and a full set of Virtue implants to probe Petes! Petes are also fit with railguns, and are designed to warp in at extreme ranges, take potshots at key ships such as logistics and the Fleet Commander, and warp out before they can be caught.
