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.

Summary

The Tengu is the Caldari Strategic Cruiser. As such the Tengu is a very flexible and its stats are mostly defined by the susbsystems. Those are heavily bonused for shield tanking. The Tengu is the strategic cruiser most popular for PvE. It's advantage is the choosable damage through missiles and the strong shield tank which leaves the low slots free for DPS. At the same time it can refit to cloaky and nully, which allows to safely travel to PvE locations even in nullsec. The Tengu is regularly used in solo PvP. Here it profits again from its strong shield tank. In fleet PvP it mostly fills niche roles. It can be a good command burst platform in fleets where Command Ships can't reach the required speed but Command Destroyers are not tanky enough. It's also a popular choice for BLOPs hunting; in this role you use the covert subsystem so you can use a covert cyno and are also often nullified so you can get to targets in hostile territory.

Skills

Tactics

Tengus are used for a doctrine called "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. This doctrine is especially popular to third party on big fights.

Subsystems

Like other Strategic Cruisers, many of the stats of the Tengu are determined by what subsystems are installed. The Tengu requires a susbsystem from each of the Core, Defensive, Offensive, and Propulsion subsystems. Each category has three options, offering different bonuses and stats to the Tengu.

Notes

In Japanese folklore and folk religion, tengu are divine or supernatural beings associated with predatory birds, and often pictured with avian characteristics.
