after plowing trough a couple of threads for ishtar fits i came up with this fit :
[Ishtar, explorer] Medium Armor Repairer II Medium Armor Repairer II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Armor Explosive Hardener II Capacitor Power Relay II
Codebreaker I 10MN Afterburner II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
Small Tractor Beam I Salvager I Salvager I Small Remote Armor Repair System II Core Probe Launcher I, Core Scanner Probe I
Capacitor Control Circuit I Auxiliary Nano Pump I
I intend to fill it with as many t1 drones as i can carry since sleepers are rumored to hate drones , the small rr is for repping some drones if needed.
it tanks 309dps perma , omni is this enough ? will flying at 550m/s mitigate some of the damage?
simply put , is this setup good enough for what i intend to dow ith it or are there some easy improvements?
Ogre I x5 Hammerhead I x15 Ogre I x4

Swap a cap recharger for a large cap battery and you can drop the cap rig for another ANP or something else. You'll have to save a few CPU somewhere - cheapo faction hardener should do it.

Are T1 drones going to even scratch Sleepers? You might want something to draw aggro.

train up sentries to lvl 4 (5 ideally) and use those instead.

In class 1 wormholes the sleepers have almost no repair so as long as you can keep your drones alive you can chew through the sleepers, even if you're using t1 light scouts. The sleepers generally don't have web so it's not that dangerous to use t2 light scouts and recall them when they get targeted.
In class 3 the sleepers have web, occasional warp scrambling and remote repair. 5 ogre I's with good skills can beat the remote repair... sometimes (but T2 lights/mediums can't unless you find other ways to beat the remote rep). You'll lose a fair number to them being targeted by 6 webs and popped before they get anywhere near your drone bay as you frantically recall them. Btw, heavies don't seem to have problems tracking sleeper frigates.

why are drone boats not using sentries? Seems to me it would be a simple matter to just recall drones when they get aggro and then redeploy.

Are you willing to constantly recall your drones?

you rotate your sentries as they take aggro, never scooping more than one at a time. this is easy because youre orbiting them at 500m. or, you can just fit a remote rep and not scoop them as often.
another option is to fit an mwd and stay very close to your heavy drones, so that scooping is easy.

This.
And...
1. Medium and heavy combat drones are too slow and will be shot by the sleepers long before you can RR them. Dont use them. Use RR to repair drones inbetween fights. 2. Use light drones for frigs orbitting below 10 km, use sentries for everything else. 3. You have quite an armor EM hole. Consider changing that EANM for an active EM hardener t2. 4. Using sentries you want an omnidirectional tracking device (so get rid of the codebreaker) and use 1 sentry damage rig. 5. Do anomalies, else your tank wont hold. 6. Train for T2 drones asap!

sorry but i want to keep the codebreaker , ill look into sentries and dont worry i CAN use t2 drones i'm gona use t1 first.
ill give sentries a shot , seems like a very good aproach

Yes. Recall & redeply drones > pay for new drones.
As simple as that. Sentries hit at least as hard as Heavies, and you simply do not lose them. You watch the green crosses in front of your eyes, and as soon as a Sleeper beam lands on them, you recall them.
I solo the easiest C3 sites (Fortification frotier stronghold, Oruze construct, etc) and the only drones I ever lose are T2 lights, to Sleeper frigates. http://www.geocities.com/vagrantweapons/db.jpg |

Darius , i have yet to find the answer but is it possible to solo radar sites in c1/c2 in an ishtar or not?

I've soloed c1 radar sites in a Vexor before, a well fit Ishtar should have no problems.
Sentries only hit at least as hard as heavies if you're using t2 sentries with a sentry damage rig.

EFT with skills at V: 5 Ogre II = 475.2 dps 5 Garde II= 450 dps 5 Garde II + 1 sentry damage rig=495 dps 5 Garde II + 2 sentry damage rig=538 dps
I tend to use bouncers over gardes: 5 Bouncer II = 393.8 5 Bouncer II + 1 sentry damage rig = 433.1 5 Bouncer II + 2 sentry damage rig = 470.8

I suppose it depends. I consider sentries more efficient because they do not need to burn to the target. I would much prefer an ingame DPS calculator over EFT which would properly account for the situation.
anyway I personally always use 2 drone dmg rigs on my ishtar along with 2 omni tracking links.

This. I would worry more about getting ganked in a WH or losing the ishtar to sleepers in your first encounter. In 0.0 ishtars are spiking upwards of 140 mil now for instance.
The price of t2 drones pale in comparison. Who cares bout losing those really

Lol its not about losing the ship and drones , i havent done wormholes yet solo in a drone ship so I wasnt confident about being able to prevent my ogre II's etc to be popped by the sleepers.
After some experience sure , ill switch over to t2 xD

I usually use an armor tanked dominix with an afterburner and analyzer/codebreaker in c3's. As such I have no spare slots for omnidirectionals (due to desparate need for cap) and I rig for cap and tank not sentry damage.
With this configuration Gardes tend to do lousy damage, significantly less than their paper dps.
I agree with you that it'd be awesome if the damage log displayed drone damage.

I havent even done the math and know instinctively this is incorrect. My Wardens hit as hard as ogres when in good range, the difference would be negligable - go and try it and see, I'll time it for time taken to kill a BS next time i'm in a mission, there will be nothing in it. _ _ _

EFT, all skills at V: 5 Warden II 337.5 dps 5 Warden II + 1 sentry damage augmenter I rig 371.3 dps 5 Warden II + 2 sentry damage augmenter I rig 403.5 dps
5 Ogre II 475.2 dps
Ogres do take a lot longer to apply their damage as they have to fly to the enemy ship and are the slowest drones.
