I used to run a Tracking Computer but now find it unnecessary. After you run each anom a couple times you memorized all the spawns, and you're never out of Scorch range (38k). This runs all anoms in your sleep. I started with a lesser armor repper and another EAM instead of the 3rd heat sink until I could afford it. I solo Radars and Mags as well in it, and if there are more than 1 to run I do the same thing with the extra EAM in place of the heat sink. While you're learning to solo the heavier neuting stuff like Radars and Mags, I'd even recommend swapping out another Heat Sink for a CPR. The DPS hit hurts, but you won't get caught capped out and out a 1.5 bil ship.
I haven't "raced" against another tengu, but I do fly with them frequently and their DPS is not even close on Cruisers and Frigs, which there are a lot of in C3s. I've always heard they do more DPS against BS, but I'm not even sure that's true. WIth implats I'm hitting 597dps with conflag, which does fine on BS and Cruisers. I'm no authority on Tengu's, but I'd say the range advantage is a non factor, as well as neuting. To me, the benefit seems to be more the lesser cost than anything else.
Like you, I started in a Zealot running C2s. I even ran it in C3s, although I lost a few learning spawns and in the long run really wasn't worth it. I think you'll probably hate the C3 drake after flying the Zealot. It'll be slower both DPS and speed wise, and boring. I doubt you'll make more money with it, because you could probably clear anoms and sigs in a C2 fast enough in a zealot to make up for the difference. Personally, I'd stick with the Zealot until you can afford a couple Legions (or one if you dare). I found it to be very worth it. You will probably burn out soloing though, I know I did. |
