Meh.
I was expecting a removal of sentries bonuses from the Ishtar, just saying. You're going in the nice direction but you're just chipping away little bits here and there at the Ishtar without making substantial changes.
A slower Ishtar isn't any less broken and is less fun to fly.
And you are nerfing its damage in the process by penalizing every single ship in the class. Were they really all OP?
Lets recap the Ishtar shall we:
- No fitting sink from guns
- Selectable range and damage
- Insane bonus to tracking AND optimal
- BS sized weapon
- Ability to detach source of damage from ship position. (!) Meaning you have to pick between going for its sentries and doing no kills, and not even damaging their DPS because they will just drop others, or going after the Ishtars and loose a lot of stuff in the process
- Insane sentry HPs, resistance to smartbombs, bombs, and prolonged fire. Not to mention the chore of having to target every sentry
- Increased server lag
- Easy-as-pie 10-man instant alpha
Please, who designed this?

I don't think people are asking for Ishtars to be unable to use sentries.
Most people are asking for the removal of sentries bonuses on them. You know, the +25% damage, AND the +25% hitpoints, AND the +25% tracking, AND the +25% optimal.
They would still be able to use sentries, but their stats would be more in-line with their actual balanced state.

Beyond the obvious ENORMOUS Ishtar balance issues (ultimate ship for PvP AND PvE in most situations anyone?), the question of drone balance in general begs to be asked.
I wish there was a counter as easy as firewalling for drones, because they are sure as hell getting out of hand atm. I'm sure you're communicating damage stats between devs, and Fozzie just announced that drone boats ships are top damage for Frigates AND Pirate Frigates AND Cruisers AND Navy Cruisers AND Heavy Assault Cruisers AND Battleships.
At this stage refusing to do something substantial is not bad judgment, it is clearly turning a blind eye voluntarily.
