Hey there,
I am looking for a Galente ship that has to meet my requirements. I would like to do level 4 missions in the future and to explore various sites (ladar/radar and so on). First off I prefer to use Drones, Hybrid guns and the ship needs to tank with it's armor. I've heard good stories about the Ishtar and Dominix and I don't know which one to choose. Perhaps you guys can convince me to choose a different type of galente ship that I haven't thought of to suit my needs. |

For exploration? I used this for combat sites in Blood Raider low sec (which is definitely not the best place to be in an Ishtar, but it works surprisingly well):
[Ishtar, exploratoin] Medium Armor Repairer II Armor EM Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Damage Control II Capacitor Power Relay II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link I Omnidirectional Tracking Link I 10MN Afterburner II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
Salvager I Prototype Cloaking Device I Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency S [empty high slot] [empty high slot]
Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I
Garde II x5 Curator II x5
Up against Guristas or Serpentis, the tank on a similar setup goes through the roof. |

Zhilia's fit is pretty standard. Here is what I use in Guristas' space:
[Ishtar, Ishtar copy 1] Capacitor Power Relay II Federation Navy Armor Thermic Hardener Federation Navy Armor Kinetic Hardener Damage Control II Medium Armor Repairer II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II Omnidirectional Tracking Link II Omnidirectional Tracking Link II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Titanium Sabot M Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Titanium Sabot M Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Titanium Sabot M [empty high slot] Prototype Cloaking Device I
Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I Medium Sentry Damage Augmentor I
Garde II x5 Warden II x5 Hornet EC-300 x5 Warrior II x5 Hobgoblin II x5 Vespa EC-600 x5
The faction hardeners are cheap and use a lot less CPU.

I would suggest to train the Dominix (incl guns, because with guns and drones it really shines) to do L4s. Meanwhile you can use the Vexor for lowsec exploration (radar / mag) without problems.
If you are comfortable with them, buy an ishtar. That ship is awesome, but requires quite high skills to fit everything, due to low cpu/pg.
And get T2 drones ASAP. Especially T2 sentries.

Edit: Dominix is _very_ cheap, you can use it as your bread and butter ship everywhere (although it would be very slow and therefore not funny for exploration) |

Good advice from Julia.
It takes a lot of SP and also ISK to make Ishtar shine, but when it does, it shines like a big bright star.
Don't forget the Myrmidon, it might be a good in-between ship before you have the skills to fly a Dominix, similar dps to a Vexor, but much better tank, and more midslots for exploration gear.
Drone Interfacing V in addition to T2 drones is a priority after T2 tank, and pay attention to cap management and fitting skills as well.

I use Megathrons for missions and this one flies pretty easy:
[Megathron, Railgun missions]
425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L Auto Targeting System I
100MN Afterburner II Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
Damage Control II Large Armor Repairer II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Capacitor Power Relay II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Large Algid Hybrid Administrations Unit I Large Hybrid Collision Accelerator I Large Ionic Field Projector I
Hobgoblin II x5 Garde II x4
The auto targeter does not need to be activated, it does however give +2 to targets and one can lock onto 9 targets. Activating it can be useful when there is a lot of jamming and dampening going on and one is too lazy to lock on again. It is not cap-stable, but with a targeting range of around 110km (Ionic Field Projector rig) can one shoot anything from frigates to battlecruisers before they can get close nor does one need to fly around much. The DPS are at 750-780 at 30-36km range. One can simply park it at one spot, drop the sentries, lock on a lot of targets and most NPCs will not get through the DPS. In missions where you know you need to tank a lot, because you have to warp into the middle of it can you always swap the mag stabs for more hardeners and you can also swap sentries for heavies, etc. |
