Hey, I'm looking for a good ratting ishtar fitting, I've been away from the game for a long time and just coming back to it to give it some love again, anyone know of a good ratting ishtar fit? Preferably unlimited damage (dps) and unlimited perma tank/repair all that, thanks :) very much appreciated.

with some plexes you need more tank, with belts you need more dps.

for nullsec plexes:
[Ishtar, ishtar guristas armor 1mar]

Experimental 10MN Afterburner I
Large Capacitor Battery II
2x Cap Recharger II
Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link

Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Reactive Armor Hardener
Medium Armor Repairer II
2x Drone Damage Amplifier II

Medium Nanobot Accelerator I
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I

drones as you like. speed tanks alot of plexes.

for belts i don't use ishtar due to low dps(i have about 1k dps in talos for belt ratting). you could take reactive hardener and put one more Drone Damage Amplifier II for more dps.

Change one DDAII to Exp/EM hardener if you are up against something else than Serpentis/Guristas.
You won't really use the blasters probably and the AB has situational use too, so your cal should be stable with two reppers.
If you want go to LS/null you need a different fit completely.

[Ishtar, serps]
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Centii A-Type Adaptive Nano Plating
Medium Armor Repairer II
Medium Armor Repairer II

10MN Afterburner II
Sensor Booster II
Cap Recharger II

This is my null and low plexer/anom ratter updated to use Drone Damage Amps:

[Ishtar, The ****** has Neutrons Inferno]

Centum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer
Dark Blood Armor Kinetic Hardener
Dark Blood Armor Thermic Hardener
Internal Force Field Array I
Drone Damage Amplifier II

Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link
Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link
Imperial Navy Cap Recharger
10MN Afterburner II
Medium 'Gattotte' Capacitor Booster, Navy Cap Booster 400

Core Probe Launcher I /OFFLINE
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Void M
Prototype Cloaking Device I

Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I


Garde II x1
Hobgoblin II x5
Hornet EC-300 x5
Warden II x5
Garde II x5


795 dps (582 Garde IIs + 213 Void)
512 hp/s against Guristas, 562 against Serps

Cycling the repper every now and then is plenty enough for most situations (speed/sig tanking with AB on), so the cap booster charges never run out. As soon as you get aggro (don't wait for it, drop sentries as soon as you can and one-shot all small ships... assuming system is safe so you can move away from the warp-in point later) you can start burning to battleship rats and apply blaster dps.

Keep CNAM, Null and Exile in cargo bay. Drugged and with an armor booster alt this turns into a pretty serious tanker, 50K EHP, 1499 hp/s against Guristas.


Alternative, untested drone dps -emphasizing small gun fit:

[Ishtar, Tiny guns Inferno]

Centum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer
Reactive Armor Hardener
Internal Force Field Array I
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link
Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link
Imperial Navy Cap Recharger
10MN Afterburner II
Medium 'Gattotte' Capacitor Booster, Navy Cap Booster 400

Core Probe Launcher I /OFFLINE
125mm Railgun II, Javelin S
125mm Railgun II, Javelin S
125mm Railgun II, Javelin S
Prototype Cloaking Device I

Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I
Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I


Garde II x1
Hobgoblin II x5
Hornet EC-300 x5
Warden II x5
Garde II x5

678 Garde dps, no idea how it tanks, or how usable small rails are in practice, but that's pretty much the max practical sentry dps you get out of an armor Ishtar. Some people prefer passive shield tanks, but I wouldn't use sentries without 2 Omnidirectional Tracking links.

my fit is for null.. you can do up to 8/10 with it. with such speed and resists cruise missiles hit for 1 or 2 dmg. no probs with frigs aswell. your fit is well overtanked

I never saw your fit, check the time stamps of our posts.
Me, personally, would not enter low/null without a mwd+cloak, since I am mostly what one would call a carebear. Also the mids for my ls/null Ishtar would have some sort of interdiction.

i'm sorry, i thought your first line was reference to my post.
you don't need cloak+mwd in null if you're in alliance with sovereignty and good intel channels.
