I do agree with you about the rigs, but dropping a launcher makes the tengu basically not worth flying. Compared to the other pimp mission ships, the damage becomes pretty lacklustre, at MUCH lower range. For example, you do only marginally more damage than a cruise CNRs launchers. And what with it having drones on top of that ... Its just not as good a prospect.
Dropping a launcher is a whole new can of worms. If that's even considered, I see no reason to fly a tengu what so ever. Personally, I see no point in a ham tengu either, as the golem does pretty much everything a ham tengu does, but better. The HML tengu does serve some rare purposes.
Actually your dead wrong there.
930 dps at 180 radius is pretty ****ing awesome. Also the tengu actually tanks harder. I mean, assuming you spend an equal amount of isk on pimping the tank, the tengu rocks all over the golem, because its sig and speed mitigate such a rediculous amount of damage.
Also, my tengu cost less than my golem when I bought it a month or more ago, and now the price differance is even more pronounced.
Yes, the golem does do more damage on paper, but its also slow to move, slow to lock and is not able to dictate range, which means screwing around switching between jav and rage, which is alway going to futz with your dps.
I mean im still not saying that the tengu is better, but it sure as hell competes really well against a golem, and if you are on a budget or want something thats more fun to fly, then teh tengu is what you want.
We won't get very far on comparing figures alone. However, the golem does get longer range. It also gets MUCH higher damage. And the tank is null and void since it tanks "enough".
But really, feel free to pick out a mission where you think the ham tengu will be optimal, time it and then let us compare that instead. And then pit that to a HML Tengu or a torp golem. What I meant by my last post - where I apparantley am dead wrong, is of course that I can't see any scenario where the Ham Tengu would be best, however I know the HML tengu is faster than torp golem in a fair few missions. In isk/hour, I've yet to see a tengu compete at all.
a fairer comparison would be heavy missile tengu v a cruise golem and a ham tengu vs a torp golem
