At some point one of the devs indicated that the Ishtar's bonuses were being reexamined in light of the speed nerf. Does anybody have any info on this?

yeah drone dammage implants are supposed to be on the way but ... when . and cpu is a major issue . ishtar has potential even a added low and some cpu would be enough i think . maybe keep the layout and drop the med hybrid bonus for a 10% per level drone speed bonus...

CCP's answer to everything is soonÖ.
That's why I feel that zulupark's thread was nothing more than a PR stunt to say "soonÖ" and "it'll be at fanfest".

Too be fair i would wait on racking them down for the "it will be on FF" statement untill FF is over with. They might actually have some nice things in store for it |

Maybe they boost it to have 75m3 drone bandwidth and add another gun?  Sig removed, inappropriate link. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint |

you do know im actually worried that they will do that, cause after the patch any noob pilot that fly a battleship will cry that the ishtar is "OVERPOWERD" after having run into a afterburning ishtar with a TD or dual webs

Maybe they will give the thing either a drone module CPU bonus or integrate some of the other drone modules (hai, tracking links) into the bonuses, so it's possible to fit a decent sentry Ishtar with leftover CPU to speak of ... maybe even put a drone rig on it without overloading CPU? ----

Maybe they give it bonuses to target painting drones.

The solo battleship will die to just about anything, but any gang of BS will not be threathened by ishtars so i dont know why you would single out this ship.

just give the ishtar the long needed high slot boost and to compensate give it less CPU.
back to phase 1 for the ishtar, with a tank and having to fit faction mods for cpu. --------------

True with the current approach to "balancing" i guess they will reduce its bandwith or something like that.

they will probably reduce bandith, its dominix in cruiser hull after all, just missing heavy neutralizers.

indeed, we should give it 50mb bandwith, its a cruiser so it should only be able to deploy cruiser weapons, not bs weapons like they do now

Carefull here, CCP stated that they actualy read the Forums. 
Ishtar is fine from my point of view, fitting Faction Mods and using CPU Imps pah, I fly a Mega for 2 years now, so nothing new to me and I would not ask for adjustments now, since CCP "adjustments" atm are didn¦t improve anything PVP related.
If this trend continues, im preaty shure we will see a 75m¦ Bandwide Ishtar at some point and people will say it was overpowert before and stuff.  ---- Nerf Tank - Boost Gank!

of course we will see ppl shouting that the ishtar is overpowerd for the simple fact that once more ppl start flying them it means that more ppl will loose ships to the ishtar, and then those ppl will scream bloody murder and whine on the forums until the ishtar gets nerfed.
after that they move on to the next ship they get killed by and do the same there until all ships are nerfed so much that we are back at how balance is on tq atm.

Agreed. It's mostly fine, but the fitting requirements are a bit on the silly side -- the thing is *painful* to fit now that nano isn't a good option. Try fitting an armor tank on the thing and see how much grid & cpu you have left. 
I'd actually vote for a small increase in both grid and cpu, but cpu is the biggest problem factor.
...but other than that, it's fine imho.

Nah (thought it is a nice ratter, of course).
It's the only ship in the game that has a drone control range bonus, which means that it can actually snipe with sentry drones with a fair DPS. Yes, that's a bit situational, but been there done that. That same bonus also lets it send Warrior IIs to chase inties all over the place.
It has five mids, which means it can fit fun stuff like TDs to mess up opposing ships. With the new speed stuff, it may work nicely with AB (outside 0.0). Or may not, that's still a bit uncertain.
It can field a pretty decent tank, with 5 lows (bar fitting problems).
The DPS from drones is very good.
I think the only real problem is the limited cpu and grid, which limits the full use of those 5 mids & lows, and at the very least which stops you from fitting any sort of real weapons in the highs.
Sure, it's not the lolzoom iWin button it was with nanos. But it's still good, for a HAC.

I've flown an Ishtar for over 3 years, and I've always enjoyed it, but it's CPU has always been a hindrance for it. I agree it could have a little more CPU. The only other possible change I could see would be to replace the Medium Hybrid Damage bonus with another drone-related bonus (drone tracking bonus would be logical).
I however do NOT agree with reducing it's bandwidth at all. The Ishtar is a Cruiser, but it's a Tech 2 Cruiser - reducing it's bandwidth would literally cripple the ship. There are numerous precedents in the game in which other ships are using equipment normally not permitted to it's size or classification. Stealth Bombers can use Cruise Missile Launchers, Blockade Runners will be able to use Covert Ops cloaks, etc... --- AMD 64 4400+ X2 (Dual-Core) 4GB Corsair XMS Memory (2336) ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (1.09 Bios) GeForce 7800GTX 256 Megs; eVGA brand Windows XP Pro and Vista Ultimate 64-bit (Dual-Boot) |

It can field a pretty decent tank, with 5 lows (bar fitting problems).
and a domi can field decent DPS when you put a DD on it (bar fitting problems) 
CPU has been a issue on the ishtar for a long time, but with all of CCPs recent "solutions" i think we should just stop talking about it before CCP decides they need to "balance" it
