With a ship as expensive as a strategic cruiser, it makes sense to fit faction modules where CPU or capacitor is tight. If you’re more concerned by tanking ability than DPS, then you’ll probably fit Capacitor Control Circuits instead – especially since your shield booster will be substantially larger than on a DPS fit. Alternatively, a Bay Loading Accelerator will just pump more missiles at the target, killing faster via brute force, but chews up a lot of calibration points.

This is even more important when using Scourge Fury heavy missiles, which require assistance to even hit cruisers for full damage. To combat this, a Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst or Flare Catalyst will mitigate the damage reduction frigates experience against heavy missiles.

This makes killing frigates an important consideration, since they’re also the ship classes most likely to web and warp scramble your ship, with tragic results. Most Tengu fits use the Accelerated Ejection Bay, which lacks a drone bay. You can swap the subsystems in and out of a Tengu, but you can’t detach the jury rigs without destroying them, so it’s important to choose wisely. Granted, most people eventually skill all subsystems to V, so enough said about subsystem skills. Similarly for propulsion systems – if your tank isn’t breaking on IV, then training to V can be left until later. Electronics subsystems V is mandatory if you’re probing or jamming but you can get away with less if you’re just shooting things. You can limp along with engineering, propulsion and electronics subsystems at IV for a fair while, although you’ll eventually find that engineering subsystems at V is worth it for increasing your cap stability. Offensive and defensive subsystems should be maxed because the most common mix of subsystems provide massive benefits for each level trained, so why not max them out. I suggest that the minimum skill level required to fly a Tengu effectively is: Assuming you have the prerequisite support skills to fly a Caldari ship without embarrassing yourself, the only skills that are up for debate are the subsystem skills. To fly a Tengu, you need skills to be trained.

However, there’s a few things to check before you undock for the first time… Skills However, when you build a spaceship out of LEGO, you can only blow up other people in your imagination. Fitting a ship in Eve Online is a lot like playing with LEGO things sometimes don’t fit, you get halfway through an edifice and realise it looks terrible, and scrounging for parts is part of the fun.
