Fitting Advice - T3C combat/explo fitting

Hey, so I’m a relatively experienced explorer who’s already made some fat stacks in T2 frigates and is looking for some more adaptable ships to use for exploration and clearing sites, and I’m currently focusing on a T3C, specifically a Tengu. I’m looking for advice on how to fit a hybrid explo/combat Tengu and what I can expect to do in one. My current fitting looks something like this

[Tengu, E/C Tengu EX]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Damage Control II
Ballistic Control System II

10MN Afterburner II
Zeugma Integrated Analyzer
Warp Scrambler II
Caldari Navy Large Shield Extender
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
Expanded Probe Launcher II
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II

Medium Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender II
Medium Core Defense Field Extender II

Tengu Core - Augmented Graviton Reactor
Tengu Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection Bay
Tengu Propulsion - Interdiction Nullifier

Sisters Core Scanner Probe x16
Sisters Combat Scanner Probe x8
Scourge Rage Heavy Assault Missile x1452

Any advice on fitting would be much appreciated.

You will die, horribly at that.
Tengu is gurista low sec or 0 sec. They require tank and speed. You only got speed.
Screw scrambler and adaptive, fit kinetic and thermal. Throw out extender, it makes you fat, fit medium booster. DC>BCU, nano>BCU. And why, why you have expanded? You are exploring, any pvp in pve fit is asking to get killed. Fit usual sisters. And finally, carry some navy missiles for smaller targets.
For 0 sec might need to thow that zeugma is favor of tank too. Key word being might.

I’d start thinking about something like this:

[Tengu, guristas hybrid low]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System
Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System
Missile Guidance Enhancer II

Pith C-Type Large Shield Booster
Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery
10MN Afterburner II
Zeugma Integrated Analyzer
Shield Boost Amplifier II
Pithum A-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier

Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Assault Missile

Medium Ancillary Current Router II
Medium Rocket Fuel Cache Partition II
Medium Hydraulic Bay Thrusters I

Tengu Core - Augmented Graviton Reactor
Tengu Defensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection Bay
Tengu Propulsion - Chassis Optimization

Obviously that for Guristas, likely low or basic null sites. Damage is respectable enough to run combat sites, range is okish, tank is rock solid for the sites you’re looking at. Maintains the analyzer if you want that, though you could easily replace it with something (MGC) more useful.
