Good afternoon all - I'm a new member to ishtaronline and need some direction on a fit.

I have two ishtars - one is the doctrine fit, you know, for when you have logi and stuff. The other one is currently naked as I'm not quite sure how to fit it out.

This one is for small engagements where I might not have logi support available (small gate camp, small roam, quick system defense).

I engaged a VNI last night and I was using my fleet fit Ishtar and escaped with 120 hull remaining. The VNI on the other hand had active reps and I was like "Hey, I wonder if my wintar can do that!" So here I go to pyfa experimenting with fits. I mainly fly shield buffer or armor ships so an active shield tank is foreign to me.

Here is what I came up with (midslots modeled off a sleipnir fit)

High:
Drone Link Augmentator II

Mid:
Large Ancillary Shield Booster*
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Experimental 10mn microwarpdrive
Large Shield Extender II
Shield Boost Amplifier II

Low:
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Co-Processor II
Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer
Damage Control (meta version starts with an "I" I believe)

Rigs:
Medium Field Extender I
Medium EM II

I'd link the fit from pyfa but I'm at work.

* I can use the smallest cap boosters in the shield booster correct?

Pretty typical volition cult fit.

Not sure that's really helping me at all. Care to elaborate?

you're not going to get many kills with no point

No point?

Large ASB is workable, but you really want a point. I would also ditch the DLA, the Ishtar doesn't need it unless you are trying to use Bouncers or Wardens at the far end of their range. Ditch the co-proc for a Nano, you will want to kite with an Ishtar in solo and very small gang situations. I would dump the boost amp for a long point.

The entire top-rack is interchangeable, i just used Cap-War for when you need to empty a tacklers cap and GTFO.
