goal of flying an ishtar

Keep telling yourself that. Big smile

Ishtar. This is Ishtars Online. Can solo any faction any 10/10 Plex or any other dungeon, mission or instance while semi-AFK with 101% efficiency... while using a shield tank that is superior to any Minmatar boat - Gallente the prime master shield race /confirmed. Nanoggaf most ships solo, project 750 DPS to 100km without even fitting for it. Get jammed and laugh at it. Get neuted and... You're never neuted. Set orbit to 27km, buy Republic Fleet Disruptor and make coffee while rekking. Fit oversized 100MN AB, full tank and 3 damage mods, then moonwalk out of any hairy situation. Fitting Warp Core Stabs is an option - With increased locking times, you'll simply enjoy the soothing travel trajectory of your ship, as you enter orbit, gently. Enemy fleet switched doctrine ships? Not a problem, pick another sentry set during your morning breakfast. Zealots and Eagles smoke sentry fire, as they look for a nearby University to purchase a Gallente Cruiser skillbook. Scrap that - no one flies those since 2006. Track frigates with medium and heavy drones like there's no tomorrow. Transversshuuul, radiul orc/second, what? Leave that to the turret peasants. Unlike missiles, drones always catch you. Practically. Gila wished it could be an Ishtar, but it can't. Stratios is an Ishtar in reverse, thus not an Ishtar. VNI has more sentry DPS than an Ishtar, but Ishtar is an Ishtar, hence VNI can't have more sentry DPS than an Ishtar.

Working as intended.

This is how crazy Ishtars have made people.

Not today spaghetti.

OP, Your plan sounds fine.

With the recent nerfbat, I think they may have hammered the Ishtar down a bit, but it still may not be enough for the other HACs, or God forbid BCs, to once again get their day in the sun (remembers long ago such things as Welpcanes and PODLA Drakes...). So even with the nerd, I'm not sure if we've arrived at a place where Iroquoiss' comments are off the mark. And so, you'll probably be pretty happy to have trained one up barring another round of CCP Nerfbat.



What about an Ishkur before the Ishtar or Algos?

Tristan > Vexor > VNI/Ishtar. I'm pretty sure a Vexor is actually cheaper than an Ishkur.
