I'm looking for a good fit for an Ishtar. It will be used for 0.0 PvP. I have searched the forums, but most of the old fits are nano-based and will not work well any more
I see that the Ishtar is a very versatile ship, but I am not sure how to properly fit it. I have looked on our corp kill boards, but everything I have seen so far is fail material, i.e. beam weapons, shields, etc.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The ishtar is a more expensive, more agile version of a dominix with a ****ty tank with a hull that costs 2x as much.
Oh, and it can't fit heavy neuts, so it's interceptor food.

I understand that the Dominix is a better ship, but I am still looking for an acceptable Ishtar fitting.

How are you going to fly it? Solo? Small gang? Fleet?

It will be used for small gangs. I was not planning on putting web or tackle on it. I'll let a tackler handle that part of the fun. With so many low slots the things that this ship can do are amazing. The high slots have me waning to fit rails and drone link augmenters.

none of what you say is relevant to his original post. that being said, most people already know that the ishtar is a more expensive version of the domi, but unlike the domi, it's useful in roaming gangs due to its mobility.
anyway, highs dont matter much. i recommend fitting some neuts and small turrets. for small gangs, go for a dual repper setup: MARII MARII EANMII armor explosive hardener II DCUII
10mn micro LSEII med cap booster webbie disruptor
for larger engagements, or for situations in which u might get focus fired go for a buffer setup: 1600mm rolled tung DCUII EANMII EANMII armor explosive hardener II
10mn micro LSEII webbie warp disruptor tracking disruptor

Your lows match my EFT fit exactly.
Originally by: UMEE 10mn micro LSEII med cap booster webbie disruptor
For the mids, I was thinking about:
MWD II Sensor booster II Med Cap booster ECCM (no clue?)
I'm guessing you are use the LSE II to add to your buffer tank? I had avoided the LSE due to the signature radius increase of 25m.

Agreed, that 1600mm plate will definitely keep you alive a few seconds more.

Ignatious Mei:
Definitely a nano fit. I see you use small rails, but you also use a drone link augmentor. The 125mm rails are sort range, and the drone link augmentor gives you longer range on the drones. Is that to give you the flexibility of dumping your sentries way out and then you melee at close range?

the only thing about quasi nano setups is that...theyre not nano setups. nowadays, anything can shut you down, and without a tank you'll melt in a matter of seconds. your best bet is to tank the ishtar, travel in a gang and hope for the best.

/*Verton*/
The rails are simply there to deal with enemy drones. You should be fighting at 70k - 100k range. The reason it's not a nano fit in the old school use of the term is that the speed isn't used to tank. It's used to get to range and then use range as the "tank". Most small gang's arent hitting at 100k and even if you encounter something that can you just scoop your drones and get out of dodge. You have enough of a buffer to take some hits while you scoop and run.

Valid point about the tank. Most of the cruiser and BS (Gallente and Amarr) fits I have seen lately have a 1600mm plate or two.

Edited by: Eternum Praetorian on 18/02/2009 03:49:31 Far as I can tell a Vexor can do more DPS, an Ishtar only has higher resists (and I think less buffer tank last I checked)
Have you considered a Navy Vexor instead?

drop the LSE, you're armor tanking that's enough. use something more useful like EW --------------------------------- "I robbed a goon and I liked it" - Suas |

I was thinking the same thing, but I know very little about this ship. I used one of my setups tonight in 0.0 against some Drone Controllers. Wow... I felt like a complete noob.
I have EW V and all the other EW skills (How very Caldari of me!). I need to experiment a little.

just to inform you, Ishtar does dominix-like damage, because it can field 5 heavy drones; check your bandwidth requirements. a vexor with 2 heavies 2 mediums and 1 light does good dps but it's still quite a bit less than the Ishtar.

If a vexor can fend off any inty in the game you can be sure as hell the ishtar will do it better.
Did you just say the Ishtar had a bad tanking capability?

Most people seem to have never flown or fought an ishtar.

A Navy Vexor is in fact the highest DPS cruiser-sized ship in the game (outganking even the mighty Deimos if you're dedicated) but it's hard to fit, has limited midslots, and has little tank.
With an Ishtar, I'd personally lean heavily to using t2 sentries - take advantage of the mobility and range bonus and snipe away :) ----

i dont care what anyone says about nano, but nano ishtar is still the way to go. stick drone link augmenters, and small drones with a passive shield tank. and use sentry drones. you will be hard to hit with your 2kms speed, and you will have 10k shield witht he right fitting and skills. i believe you are able to snipe out at 90km with one. and of course fit small drones and small ecm drones just incase you get the lovely ocaisional ******* in a ceptor on you.

there is no nano. stop confusing the guy. pseudo nano ishtars are only good at getting melted by everything out there. it's not the way it used to be.
