A tale of two Tengu. Part 2: The Glass Cannon

With more cannon than glass.

Today's part 2 of my little stint on Strategic Cruisers brings us to the damage output designed Tengu.

After yesterday's damage magnet with its puny 250-300dps damage output, Most people are probably craving something more.

First up:
[Tengu, Hamgu]
Tengu Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst
Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection Bay
Tengu Engineering - Capacitor Regeneration Matrix
Tengu Electronics - Emergent Locus Analyzer
Tengu Defensive - Supplemental Screening

5x Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II (Terror Rage Assault Missile)

10MN Afterburner II
2x Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II
Explosion Dampening Amplifier II
2x Large Shield Extender II
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron

4x Ballistic Control System II

3x Medium Core Defence Field Extender I

The Heavy Assault Missile fit Tengu. Although the volley damage is low and the range isn't all that great, it makes up for those shortcomings by having a decent speed to get around at and a high rate of fire. Its damage output at mid-range skill levels is around 500dps, and it still has about the same effective hitpoints of the damage magnet, although its shield recharge rate is significantly lower because of the ballistic control systems in the lows instead of the shield power relays.

The HAMGu is definitely an in-your-face style ship rather than long range, having an effective range down in the 20-25km area.

And the alternative for those who prefer long range:
[Tengu, HMgu]
Tengu Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst
Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection Bay
Tengu Engineering - Capacitor Regeneration Matrix
Tengu Electronics - Emergent Locus Analyzer
Tengu Defensive - Supplemental Screening

5x Heavy Missile Launcher II (Scourge Fury Heavy Missile)

10MN Afterburner II
2x Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II
Explosion Dampening Amplifier II
2x Large Shield Extender II
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron

4x Ballistic Control System II

3x Medium Core Defence Field Extender I

Basically the same loadout as the HAMGu, except it's designed for longer range engagements. We're talking ranges where you basically can't target that far out without help. You might consider swapping the afterburner for a sensor booster with the targeting range script for this fit. The damage output is a bit lower, but not as far down as the damage magnet is, typically falling in the 450-500dps range.

Which fit you take with you depends on your mood.
