Hi everyone,
Me and my friend are thinking about moving into a C4 soon (currently living in a C3 with drakes while learning SP for the tengu). I was thinking about 2 tengus with both a RR sheild for the C4. Is this a good idea? What fitting you guys would recommand?
Thanks for the help. |

This is a terrible idea. Can it be done? Yes probably with enough bling on the tengus. But you will make more money from running the sites in a c3 due to the extra time a c4 will take. |

2 tengus can run them (with bling) 3 will be safer and more efficient. You actually can make a fair amount of Isk running c4s with a proper setup (used to live in one)
You could also just run two RR Rattlesnakes and be fine. Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts...-á
The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth. |

If you are happy in your C3, stay there (static, PI, etc.). If you must move to a C4, two rr tengus can do the sites (semi bling), BUT it will be quite a bit slower than the C3 sites and thus your ISK / hour will go down a bit. To really optimally run C4 sites, i recommend 3 RR Sentry Rattlers. Your mileage may vary...

Well, for now we live in a C3 NS static. Me and one of my friend can fully fit a drake T2 and we can duo this without problem. Thing is that 3 other friends joined us and they can all fly a drake too with T1 fit and some T2. Since we are getting bigger, sometimes we have nothing to do in our wormhole so that's why we were considering moving into a C4 with C3 static in few weeks if doable.
We are leaning tengu cause it is a nice relativly "cheap" and versatile ship to use in a wormhole but I was wandering is it's still usable to duo a C4 with some drakes or we should aim for another ship instead? |

Tengu's will work, but lately RR Domi's seem to be all the rage. |

I would recommend that if you do move to the C4, use the C3 static sites for running and leave the C4 sites till you guys are more skilled and have a few more guys. I currently live in a c4 with static c3 with my corp and I love it. Make sure you guys all have a BS or 1 person has an orca to roll the static though if you empty it before its lifetime ends. |

You've gotten good info thus far. Blingy tengus. We used to run a lot of C4 sites in my previous alliance with 3 RR Tengus (might get ugly if someone isn't paying attention - and managing triggers is critical because very little buffer). It's possible to do in very cheap tengus (right at 400m or so). Plus the added ability, now, to refit the subs in the hole so it's not just a ratting setup if necessary. Though C3 isk/hour is a bit higher because the sites are slow with that litle dps.
Domis are, in fact, PVE fitting du jour for a lot of site running right now. Clone mechanics enchancements Deep Space Probe Revival |

So it would be better to go for 2 or 3 dominix rather than tengus? |

an inexpensive fit RR tengu is gonna do in the area of 400-500 dps depending on the fit, skills ammo used etc.
RR dominix is gonna be in the 650-750 range (or possibly higher) depending on fit skills etc. Usually gonna need bouncers for C4 sites, especially with the omni changes.
I don't buy the fact that C4's are less profiable than C3's either. Yes they are slower but each site is worth a lot more. Our nights running C4 sites are far more profitable than they used to be running C3's.
But I also don't mind people still believing that and staying out of C4 space either.

C4 sites typically return slightly less ISK/hour -- but usually much more ISK/session -- than C3 sites due to range and Sleeper tank. A C4 with a static C3 certainly makes things easier, as mentioned above. The below Tengu fit can handle C3 and C4 pretty easily, with very modest cost. Safe numbers are 2+ Tengus for C3 anomalies, 3+ for C3 data/relic and C4 anomalies, 4+ for C4 data/relic. The volley damage in a C4 data/relic can be very impressive against the tank, and the range can be extreme (>100km) if you don't know your spawn locations and have a knowledgeable anchor.
Fit shamelessly stolen from our corporate recommended fittings for the Tengu. Works great, time-tested and easy to fit even with less-than-perfect skills; if the fit doesn't fit your skills, skill up a bit as it really is a minimum and only gets better from there!

A stock Drake really sucks for C4 due to range problems, but the Navy Drake hangs in there with a RR Tengu ball much better. Just treat it as "extra" DPS and remote rep... it's not doing an awful lot for you compared to a Tengu as fit above. Half the DPS, half the remote rep, but it's a good learning step while training into the Tengu. Speaking from experience, its user is going to feel a bit like they are along for the ride. You'll also want the Drake to be the anchor, or else it will tend to get left behind by the slightly-faster Tengus. The fit below assumes fairly modest skills in someone new to wormholes. It lets them contribute, but Tengu training should be at the top of the radar for far greater effectiveness.

Thx alot for the fits TXG. I think we will wait till me and my friend get a tengu wich will be in 2-3 weeks before moving to a C4 with a C3 static. Then meaby we will farm C3s till we get a 3rd tengu or just farm some sites in C4 with 2 tengus with1 or 2 drakes.
What about wormhole effects? I saw some cataclysmic wormholes for sale recently wich I assume should be rly good for RR ships. Meaby only 2 tengus could run a cataclysmic C4... |

You're welcome. I figured it would be worth it to provide some common, proven fits to you, because so many people just provide general advice and expect you to pyfa/eft it up yourself. There's a substantial learning curve to making the most of your own fits!
One of our corporations does RR in a cataclysmic C2; the effects are pronounced enough even there that the beneficial effect on capacitor and RR is very noticeable, and really makes training the tengu-ball or drake-ball appraoch a lot easier. Once you get to C3 and above, the cataclysmic effect is so pronounced that local tank is hella nerfed and RR is very overpowered.
A C4 Cataclysmic boosts the pair local tank from the 900-ish range to the 1200-ish range. Still not enough to tackle the C4 data & relic sites with the fit above, but enough for every anomaly as long as you don't botch your triggers. Be careful with the second wave of the "Sleeper Information Sanctum", that one is a butt-kicker. Most people want to dispatch the webbing/scramming/neuting battleship first, but don't! It's the trigger.
If you upgrade the remote rep to T2, spring for deadspace invulns instead of T2, and put in a damage control to replace a BCU, you can get the tank up to marginally-acceptable levels for the relic & data sites with just a pair of Tengus. It won't be easy, and you'll probably need to warp out if aggro goes too long on either one of you, but it's do-able.
An afterburner would make a big difference in tank needs until/unless you're webbed, but it's really challenging to do remote rep without dedicated Logistics if people use prop mods. |

And I can guarantee you aren't finishing Barracks sites in 15 minutes (or probably even 20) in that fit solo. And you certainly aren't staying outside neut range with furies given furies range is about the same as an upholders neut range. And 600DPS maybe with about a bil in +6 implants.

barracks take closer to 30 as stated in my original post
563 DPS with 3%s ( 35 less dps)
Fury Range with a 3% implant is 73kms, that's 3kms of play range to stay out of neuts

Well to be fair you can easily kite the upholders of a barracks without even needing an AB. And if you can outrun the safeguard of the info sanctum and terminus anoms you'd be ok too.

Use CN Scourge to out-range the neuts if your having difficulties with furies, less dps but it lets you practice. |

Nice little ninja edit. your times werent in there when I first read it. and 563 isn't 600.
I'd be hard pressed to believe you can do any of the sites in 15 minutes. My corp has been in a C4/C4 for over a year. I've got a dual setup I use with fits similar to yours (actually better DPS cause i use CN BCUS) and none of the sites I can clear in under 10 minutes with double the DPS. I figure I'd have to be at least doing 8 minute sites with 2 for you to hit 15minutes with only one.
Your implants are bogus as well. To hit 563 you'd need a HM-703 and RL-1003. To get the implant range you'd need a MB-703 or MP-703 (unless there is some implant I don't know about).
Not saying its a bad fit. It's plenty fine. But your numbers and claims are over the top and inflated. |
