Recently fitted out an Ishtar with a an armor rep and 1 of each type of armor hardener all t2 and I get less of an tank on it than I do a shield tanked Vexor that is docked in the station. I am not a low skilled player; and I am getting less than 1/2 of the effective HP while docked, and since when do T2 ships with the gap filled get less than 70% resists? Would love to hear from the devs about this and also anyone else who wishes to comment.

maybe your shield tanked vexor is buffer fit while your ishtar is active tanked? and your armor hardeners won't count until you undock and turn them on.

Without seeing the vexor fit we won't be able to do much.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Last time I checked, stupid HAC resist profile still duct-taped to a battleship-grade drone bay and drone band.

Ishtar tanks really well, just make sure you're plugging both EM and Explosive holes if you're going against these damage types.

However, it is now slower than a hurricane, so there's that.

Goons complained too much that these were FOTM back in the day when Ishtars were the primary doctrine used against them. They'll probably whine to have them buffed now that SMA Gorillas are sick of getting blopsed back into the Mist.

Ishtars were the lowest common denominator across all sides. Do you miss the days archon fleets?
