I am a skilled Domi pilot (Active tank, Sentries) and would like to use the Ishtar for my High Sec Explorations and Anomalies. Now I am interested in the tactics you use for the Ishtar, so I can use it efficient. As a Domi Pilot I am used to draw all the agro, deploy my sentries and let them do the job. No need to fly around, so I can recall my sentries quickly if needed. Now it seems with the Ishtar this is not possible anymore as the tank is a fair bit smaller then a Domi. So how do you use the Ishtar with Sentry Drones?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
My Domi is a Dual Rep as where my Ishtar is a single rep with 3 mission specific hardeners (Approx. 300 dps tank). I am fighting mostly Sansha's. I will have a try with a Dual Rep Ishtar and/or try out the orbiting a Sentry Drone (Or a can). |

Many thanks for all the replies.
I had a look at all the fitting suggestions and interesting posts. Some of them gave me some good ideas. Others I am not so sure of if it will work for me.
I tried the jetcan tactic and circling the can at 500m. This works fine for deploy / redeploy Sentries but the speed is rather slow and I am not sure if it speed tanks so well (For sure better than just floating around). Bibosikus post made me think about using Med and Heavy Drones instead of Sentries. Which is a little bit stupid, if you have a Drone Boat with enough Bandwith and Storage, to fit a full deck of Sentries. But the comments made sense. So this is why I picked for my Fitting no more OmniGÇÖs and Sentry Damage Rigs, but instead I use a Drone Navigation Computer (MWD Speed for Drones).
For Scanning, Hacking, Analyzing etc I use an ALT so no need to fit these modules on.
As I mentioned before I am a Domi pilot who loves his Dual Rep / Cap stable Domi. So I aimed for a similar setup on my Ishtar and came up with the following fitting:
High Slots: GÇó 200mm Railgun I (Aggro gun) GÇó Prototype Cloaking Device I (For Low sec) GÇó Small Tractor Beam I GÇó Salvager I
Mid Slots: GÇó 10MN Afterburner II GÇó Large Capacitor Battery II GÇó Drone Navigation Computer II GÇó Cap Recharger II GÇó Cap Recharger II
Low Slots: GÇó Medium Armor Repairer II GÇó Medium Armor Repairer II GÇó True Sansha Armor EM Hardener GÇó True Sansha Armor EM Hardener GÇó True Sansha Armor Thermic Hardener
Rig Slots: GÇó Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I GÇó Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Various Drones from Light, Mediumand Heavy and a Set of Sniper Sentries.
This gives me with my skills and implants a total Tank of 603 DPS against Sansha (Against Guristas it is some incredible 1700 dps!), a 600 m/s Speed and I can put out approx. 475 DPS damage with my Heavies. And it is Cap stable.
I ran a GÇ£Sansha WatchGÇ¥ with the Escalation GÇ£Nation on the RiseGÇ¥ yesterday and it was a piece of cake. I think I will have a lot of fun with the Ishtar in the future.
Wish you all a Happy New Year. Fly Safe
