Which is a "better" cruiser for fielding sentry drones (in terms of DPS and range):the Ishtar, or the Vexor Navy issue?

Step1: Read ship bonuses
Step2: ??
Step3: There is no step 3.

The ishtar has a drone speed bonus... sentries don't move...

The ishtar also has T2 resists... make of that what you will

Damn... egg on ma face

I was going off of memory. Upon actually following step 1 it seems that the nexor also has a drone speed bonus but no sentry bonus while the ishtar actually has a direct sentry drone bonus among other helpfull bullsh!t

I get the thinking about armor and shields because of slots, kiting because of the Ishtar's MWD sign bloom reduction, and seeing the navy vex or as the opposite just cause, but what makes the navy vex or better with heavy drones? Ship bonus wise Ishtar has better heavies and sentries.

Heavy drones are fat and slow. Kind of like a 1600 plated Navy Vex.

More? Navy vex has more low slots and can get a beefier armor tank than the Ishtar. Trimarks slow you down. Ishtar is also really fast for a cruiser when nano fit, making it ideal for dropping sentries and flying far away from the enemy.

NEXOR's however offer a slightly cheaper boat for ratting or PVP i have one that gets 620DPS at 2.4km/s but it wont touch my Ishtar by a mile
