So I've put off training for a strategic cruiser for long enough, and now I have some SP to play with, I figure it's about time I trained one.
My skills with armour and shield are pretty even, as are my missiles/hybrids/projectiles. So take skills out of the equation, am I better off with a Tengu, a Loki or even a Proteus?
I plan on using it for wormholes and plexing mostly, and maybe the odd level 2 or 3 when I have standings I need to grind...

Tengu is the way to go. With the right fitting you can have 600dps and 800 tank, at 80km. If you can afford that faction mods, and when eating through c3s like you will be, you can, you go to 650dps and 950 tank at 100km. IMO the way to handle pve is by only having to target the next and move to it, watching directionals and doing something else.

I'd go for the Loki... even though it's tanking ability isn't as good (max 6 mediums or 6 lows instead of 7 mediums on the tengu), the 90% em resists and 83% therm resists by default are excellent. Just add a few more resists for exp and kin damage and u are away.
The DPS can be better than the Tengu as well, but you need to get into range of the enemy. That can be a good thing though, cause the Loki can speed tank very well indeed.
Personally i like flying around and using guns rather than just sit in one spot and start launching missiles... just my 2c :)

LoL, no it can't. Tengu can outdps the Loki easily, regardless of the Loki's configuration. You might have situations where a Loki finishes killing frigates faster due to Drones + Turrets, but anything that actually takes time to kill? Tengu wins hands down.

Tengu shouldn't be standing still either. It speed tanks effectively(all of the T3's can) being a cruiser with a relatively small sig radius and decent propulsion subsystems.
Flying it because you like guns is all good and well, but lying to yourself about relative performance is silly.

Edited by: Opusmind Hauler on 16/12/2010 13:09:10 When soloing lvl4 missions, I can tank 7-9 BS's (+ various cruisers/frigates) capstable in my... Tengu!
For heavy DPS missions, I fit more DPS tank. For the others, I fit a faction AB so I can get to the gates faster.
Tengu FTW

The tengu just owns every other T3 hardcore.

Tengu is most popular for PvE style activities. Loki tends to be used a bit more for busting other player's ships up.

False. The Tengu is also the best PVP T3.
