Ships & Modules

Here's the deal

To pay for an increasingly expensive pvp habit I'd like to dive into lowsec and run some deds
my alt has just got an ishtar for the job and I'd appreciate a little help with the fit.

I can run both shield or armour and have max drone skills, probing will be done with a dif character

Is the boat viable and if so what tank would work best

Cheers

Thx tsu so go armour sentries,will handle the 5/6 ok?

I use:

[Ishtar, 6.10tar]
Medium Armor Repairer II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Coreli A-Type Kinetic Plating
Armor Kinetic Hardener II

10MN Microwarpdrive II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II

Prototype Cloaking Device I
Core Probe Launcher I, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]

Medium Anti-Thermic Pump I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I


Hobgoblin II x5
Garde II x5


For 6/10s with no problems, warp in, drop sentries and pick everything off. Costs <200m so disposable if you get caught and pays for itself in no time.

Just some minor nitpicks, swapping the A-Type plating for an active thermal hardener and the anti-thermic rig to an auxiliary nano pump gives a decent boost in tank (30dps) while still maintaining cap stability and makes better use of available CPU. If you maintain the above setup you have some free CPU and should stick some small guns in the highs (I'd go for small focused pulses for the range)

Other than that its a great cheap fit and has all it needs for lowsec 6/10s

gardes do enough damage over wardens that the resistance difference between thermal and kinetic doesn't matter.
