Yup I died. Loss doesnt mean much cuz I can afford another one.

Problem is with Ishtars. Drones have an insane range and tracking and they carry 3 sets of them.

I think that optimal range bonus for sentry drones is just not good. The ship is not balanced well.

(I agree with the OP)

But this is why we shouldn't recruit ex Shadow Cartel people.

Some of the pimpmobiles I've seen them flying are just spectacular examples of what happens when you give a mission runner an eyepatch and a place to play pirate....

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

tbh everyone going WOLOLOLOLOLOLOL U DIED is missing the point at hand. Yes Smarn lost a Mach but that doesn't make what he's saying any less correct. Ishtars are pretty OP at the moment and anyone who says otherwise is just ignoring reality.

Actually the ranges of the sentry drones aren't that good, and even then they are still limited by the pilot's drone control range. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember right, it's kinda hard to get the drone control range of an ishtar much past 120km, meaning no matter how bonused the drones are, they will only engage out to 120km. That is a far cry from pretty much anything sniper fit.

As far as tracking, you're in a battleship. Battleships are big and slow. Oh, and when the big bad Rapier webs you to the point you can't move, it doesn't take a whole lot of tracking to hit you.

As to whether the Ishtar is unbalanced, I highly doubt you would be here crying about losing your blingy mach if you had won, so HTFU and stop whining like a highsec carebear. If you want to discuss the Ishtar's OPness, there are already threads for that.
