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

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.

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.
