Hello everyone,

I recently have just got an Ishtar and working on a fit for some exploration, upon heading to google and searching round there are dozens of fits but unsure what one to go for!

So I built one for me and wondered if anyone could comment/recommend some changes etc?

Thanks in advance,

Lee.

Medium Armor Repairer II
Damage Control II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II

Medium:

Cap Recharger II

Empty - Will fit codebreaker/analyzer depending on site.

High:

Heavy Beam Laser (for agro?)

Rigs:

Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I

Drones:

I can only use T1 heavy and sentry drones and they will be explosive/thermal and T2 medium/light explosive/thermal.

Replace crap rechargers with a cap booster and omnidirectional tracking links. Fit blasters or rails, the ship has bonuses for them. Armor Ishtar is not ideal against Angel rats, it's awesome agaist Serp/Guristas, and a relatively crappy omni tanker. I'd go for a Drone Dmg Amp instead of damage control, and experiment with Reactive Armor Hardener. Cheap faction repper or ancillary armor repper for easier fitting.

Train T2 sentries before heavies for PVE.

A PVE combat ishtar really should have 2 drone damage amplifier IIs (on an armor fit), and 2 omni tracking link IIs - the rest of the build is worked around those modules. Drones are racial vs enemy though gardes are often best purely for applied damage reasons. Hardeners are racial, not omni, and realistically, an armor ishtar is better at serpentis, gurista, blood and sansha exploration, and loses some dps vs angels due to needing an extra hardener, and there being a gap between bouncers and zerkers. I don't bring heavies for any other race.

Also ishtar holds aggro a lot longer with 3 guns (now that npcs switch off you) - though you can take 2 guns if you want to avoid CPU fitting problems.
