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. Strategic cruisers are made up of the hull and 4 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 Covert Ops cloak.

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.

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.

Core Subsystems

Defensive Subsystems

Offensive Subsystems

Propulsion Subsystems

Notes

Because of their Near-Battleship strong tank, decent DPS, and small mass, Tengu (like all other Strategic Cruisers) is highly preferred in Wormhole space, up to class 3.

When Strategic Cruisers got an overhaul in July, the reduction of Tengus low-slots had a big impact on its DPS and fitting capabilities. However, they are still viable when fitted with right subsystems and modules. (One editor believes the changes to the Tengu's low-slots is subjective and, in some cases, does not have a big impact on DPS when fitted with the proper subsystems.)
