I have done some searching around and I am thoroughly confused. I haven’t played even for a couple of years and wanted to scratch an itch. The tengu fit I had on my mission running characters is no longer viable and I am aware of some changes.
I have been searching the forums and other sources for a tengu fit for level 4 missions in gallente space. I run 2 tengu’s and it use to be a case of cap stable tank and spank. minimal movement and just spew out missions.
Can anyone recommend the right fit?
Medium/longer term, rattlesnake or gila the way to go? My mission running setup is 2 accounts for pew and 1 account following behind for salvaging/loot.
Don’t know about the right fit, but here’s a fit I used to use:

Cap stable - just drop a Mobile Tractor Unit (or jettison something) and orbit @ 10k using MWD while killing web rats 1st. Only a little bling where you need it. Slow compared to a Rattlesnake but can run any Level 4 solo. If you have CPU fitting problems maybe swap EM Ward II and/or BCS II for faction variant. And as an added bonus you can travel cloaked.

I recently started playing again and I too like the tengu for missioning. You need to keep your mind on the webbing rats but generally it can tank most level 4 missions I’ve tried. I’m also a lazy person and don’t really fit resists for each mission so I carry a generic blanket all. It’s cap stable but you can probably swap a cap recharger for a rig that does the same thing and add a shield boost amplifier. I use rigors myself for the rigs to avoid dps loss on elite cruisers.
You can bling it up if you like. I"m sure it would outperform my fit but even this can do them.
Note. I use precision missiles for the frigate rats. Furies for the rest. I do use mission specific missiles to deal maximum dps.
887DPS kinetic with T2 missiles. 756DPS with faction Caldari Navy. Cap stable tank 141HP/sec.
It is T2 only without any bling. Pyfa says that it is for approx 450mils including implants. That should be affordable for a T3 cruiser.
Missiles explosion radius is 107m with T2 ammo, which is enough for cruisers and up. You can blap rest of small stuff with dirt cheap T1 missiles, which have same explosion radius as precision T2, but do more damage, with less range. You even don’t need expensive faction ammo.
