Anytime Baby	Posted - 2007.12.04 20:33:00 - [1] I have been reading about bandwidth and noticing the trend of everything being brought "in line" with everything else, which is making ships less unique. One of the last ships to really emphasize drones is the ishtar, which is way out of line by the bandwidth standards. Is there a plan to reduce the amount of drones deployable by the ishtar or will it actually be allowed to be effective? As it stands, the ship can deploy 5 heavies at a time with a dominix-sized drone bay...this was apparently too much for the eos and the myrmidon...what's the story? Thanks
Trevor Warps	Posted - 2007.12.04 20:37:00 - [2] Myrm -> T1 ship BC sized anyone can easily get. EOS -> fleet command ship not combat or damage oriented Ishtar -> T2 specialised drone ship Where is the problem ?

And Vagabond is a speed demon with low DPS for a HAC. The Cerberus is a pretty good tank + pretty good DPS. The Amarr HACs are good DPS + range.

And besides, it only got 3 turrets hardpoints and low powergrid, so you aint going to get a that crazy dmg with it without at least sacrificing everything else.

Beauty of the nano-Ishtar is that it doesn't really have to get in that close to engage, unlike the Vagabond. If it likes, it can just skirt in closeish, drop off drones & sic 'em, and then zip away to 50+ klicks and let the drones do their work, provided somebody else has got the scramming sorted.

Sean Faust	Posted - 2007.12.16 19:01:00 - [20] Take a good long look at the Ishtar's bonuses. You'll notice that it doesn't get any boost to DPS over its t1 counterpart, the vexor, and actually has less turret slots. Its entire DPS comes from its ability to field heavy/sentry drones. If they took that away, it would actually be INFERIOR to the vexor dps-wise. So the Ishtar is likely staying as-is then, unless they were to add a second drone damage bonus as a HAC bonus, which at MOST would make its drone dps equivalent to that of unbonused heavies when fielding mediums. The Ishtar is straddling a very thin line as far as where it stands, and any changes made to the ship would likely make it completely unuseable.

Earl Black	Posted - 2007.12.16 20:33:00 - [23] If you check it out properly you will see the Ishtar is spos to get 10% damage to drones but a quick search will show this was fixed, It only get 5% drone damage. This along with a cpu shortage means its very hard to fit, so the ability to field a set of heavy drones brings it up to HAC status, one good point is that it can be shield tanked or armor tanked, but kill its drones and you have one dead HAC.

Thanks OMG, you ****, read the freaken patch notes, sorry I don't normally troll the forums but you make it so difficult in this case, ishtar is a drone boat, CCP saw to it keeping it's drone bandwith on perpose, they even mentionned that it would be an exception the bandwith deployment (syntax?). The Ishtar's only real weapons are drones, trying to fit anything other than small guns in the highs seriously compromises the ships tanking ability, unlike other HAC's that can fit guns for its class, use drones and tank well. Secondly, if you're posting this because you had an unfortunate run-in with a hostile ishtar and you're made cuz you lost your ship, get over it. You do have options when it comes to fighting these ships 1) Avoid then in the 1st place (seem them on scanners in low sec or 0.0 you can safe or dock) 2) Kill their drones if you do happen to engage one. 3) Or you can just quit eve (Give me your stuff if you take this route). P.S. Again, read the **'en patch notes before allowing your ass to talk for you.

Emperor D'Hoffryn No Quarter. Vae Victis.	Posted - 2007.12.17 19:52:00 - [28] Ishtar gives up alot to field its heavy drones....it loses turret hardpoints from its t1 base, has low powergrid. While it has t2 resists, it has low base hit points, and few slots to tank with. Compare this to the myrm and Eos, which gave up very little to field their drones. Heck, the Eos had SEVEN bonused turrets, compared to its counterparts FIVE, AND THEN it also have 5x heavy drones. Ishtar is fine. Its hard to kill when nano, but when its out flying around 50km away, theres nothing it can do to protect its drones. It can still kill most ships if it puts forth the effort, those same ships can force it to run. Originally by: Snuggly It's just so great to have an actual reason to not die, incentive is fantastic!

Verracu Caldari Loyalty projects	Posted - 2007.12.18 01:37:00 - [36] Yup Mission boat :) Not really much for PvP :) Room for all in EVE But I guess I would use a cap booster, and a scarmbler instead of 2 rechargers, perhaps even a webber and drop 3 rechargers, shrug and if PvP guess a plate and one repper would be better, not to skilled in PvP, just going by instincts.

I disagree, the Ishtar does more damage that just about all of it's counterparts with drones alone. Throw in some blasters and it really does do BS damage. yes, like 3 bonused blasters can increase massively the ship's firepower. When it does so much with its drones it can. Fortunatly the Ishtar is kept in line by being limited in both powergrid and CPU, such that it cannot easily fit the tanks that the other short range ships fit. This keeps its advantage, despite high paper DPS, to a farther range. A farther range makes its drones vulnerable since you cannot damp the target and then scoop/redeploy to kill a lock. E.G. looking at a passive hit point setup on an ishtar and deimos, tech 2 rigged for both. The ishtar can run a bit higher resistances if it drops an 800mm plate, but since it doesnt have much cap in this build, it loses effectiveness. Ishtar 800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I 800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Armor Explosive Hardener II Damage Control II Adaptive Nano Plating II 10MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II [empty high slot] [empty high slot] Trimark Armor Pump I Trimark Armor Pump I 5x Ogre II 540 DPS, 51,000 hit points, 1300m/s and the Deimos 646 dps, 60,000 hit points, 1500m/s Armor Explosive Hardener II Damage Control II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I 10MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II Stasis Webifier II Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II Heavy Electron Blaster II [empty high slot] Trimark Armor Pump I Trimark Armor Pump I The Ishtar has 2 damps, which is nice[protects the drones], and can provide a bit more ewar, but in terms of tank and gank, the Deimos just crushes it in all categories at close range. In short, its high drone DPS is balanced by it having a weaker tank, forcing it farther away from targets, making its drones vulnerable.

I wouldn't give Almarez much cred when it comes to his knowledge of gallente ships, if the killboards are any indication of what the guy flys (seems like exclusively amarr with a raven mixed in) he's never actually flown an ishtar let alone attempted to fit one, unless he's talking about some magical all lvl 5 uber implant EFT character.

Throw in some blasters and it really does do BS damage. I take it you've never, you know, actually flown this ship? The drones are the Ishtar's weapons. Period. There is no realistic setup that I know of that can actually fit medium weapons, it simply doesn't have the grid+cpu for that (especially CPU, it's really tight on that). So any setup with medium blasters on it is very, very theoretical. ...and, of course, I fail to see how adding 3 medium blasters to the drone dps suddenly makes it do "BS damage". That's some sad BS you're using as comparison, there. The Ishtar's fine. It's one of the very few pure drone ships in the game, it's a fun ship but it has lots of weaknesses also. Kill the drones, it's neutralized (especially now with the drone shield fix/nerf, and the current way nosfes work).

Rastigan Caldari Ars ex Discordia GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.18 13:23:00 - [45] The ship is low on grid/cpu/cap and you still want to take away the only thing going for it, drones ? The Ishtar doesnt get nano'ed cause its fast.. actually the only HAC's that its faster than are the Caldari's in nano format, they nano it because it really doesnt have any fitting to do anything else...
Beowulf Scheafer	Posted - 2007.12.18 13:42:00 - [46] Originally by: Almarez Originally by: Cadiz Ishtar is untouched, as it does not do noticeably more DPS than the other ships in its class. Both the Eos and the Myrmidon were pretty conspicious in their damage output superiority over their kin, or at least so goes the story. I disagree, the Ishtar does more damage that just about all of it's counterparts with drones alone. Throw in some blasters and it really does do BS damage. well, maybe it does amarr bs dmg. we gallente think in completly different dimensions when it comes to dmg output...

Radix Salvilines VENA GROUP	Posted - 2007.12.18 14:05:00 - [48] and yet another discussion about ishtar and nerfing... LOL if anyone gets to be so stupid not to destroy ishtars/dominixs/myrmidons drones first but try to destroy the ship - starts posting such topics. SIMPLE: KILL THE DRONES - ishtar is on your mercy... no more nerfing drone ships plz... they got the hard beating already (reducing number of drones 15->5 thus making it easier to kill them and they making less damage (especially on ishtar as its drone damage bonus is not in line with +1 drone bonus back old days), now reducing number of drones that can be deployed by drone ships...). One more topic like that and im strating my blacklist of peoples to kill with my ishtar... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥-☻VENA☺-♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Cruthensis Gallente Farmer Killers United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.12.18 14:32:00 - [49] Folks seem to be misreading the OP... She doesn't seem to be suggesting that the Ishtar's drone capability should be nerfed. She says 'actually allowed to be effective' which to me means she's worried that it might somehow be next-in-line for the bat. As folks have already been saying - limiting the Ishtar to 75Mbs would utterly kill it. 1. Buy Vexor 2. Fit for Gank 3. Suicide ISK farmer 4. Grind sec 5. see 1.
Kruel Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2007.12.18 15:20:00 - [50] Can't believe some people are saying the Ishtar does BS damage. No folks, 450dps is HAC damage... and any sensible fit won't be using medium blasters. Sure you might push 800dps on paper, but realistically you'd fail with such a fit. In fact I prefer a couple other HACs over the Ishtar for a couple reasons. Smart players shoot the drones. Also, heavy drones (ogre IIs) only go like 1k/sec with mwd on, and much slower when orbiting. You only get full dps on slow ships.
Sean Faust	Posted - 2007.12.20 14:27:00 - [51] As I mentioned in a similar thread that I started, the reason the Ishtar went untouched is because it doesn't receive any additional damage bonuses over its t1 counterpart, the vexor, and actually has fewer turret slots. If it weren't for the fact that it can field a full set of 5x heavy drones, its DPS output would actually be less than its t1 counterpart, the vexor. The only way a drone bandwidth nerf could happen without making the ship completely and totally useless would be to put it through a complete overhaul that included more damage bonuses over the vexor. CCP knows this which is why they didn't, and will not, touch it. After all, nobody wants to fly a HAC that's inferior to the t1 ship it's based on. And please don't compare it to the EOS, the EOS has a completely different role. It is a Fleet Command Ship, which means its not meant to deal insane DPS. Its meant to survive and to provide gang bonuses.
