Yeah logistics cruiser for 12 points without armor/shield remotes is a complete joke.

With five empty midslots, the Ishtars would drop like flies.
fixed
edit:
Sentry ishtars also can't be caught at a range disadvantage because they can fit both gardes, wardens, and some novelty ogres or warriors. If, as you mentioned, the ishtars end up starting 100km away from 5 sniper bs you would still look at a 2:1 dps advantage, with wardens having a much easier time hitting bs than bs hitting ishtars. If we could have warpins that would guarantee you to be 200km+ away from the opposition team, yes then ishtars have a counter.

I personally hope that someone is stupid enough to field 9 ishtars against us. I definately hope they are dumb enough to use gardes. There are a number of different ways to defeat the 9 Ishtar build, the key is a good understanding of the game mechanics. Even the brute force route will work quite well. ie. 5x Pulse Geddons, triple trimark with 5x bouncer II's. Warp in a 0km, the max distance the IShtars can be is 50km away. The Ishtars will melt very quickly, even if they are using TD's. Just my 2 cents.
18 td's or rsd's / 5 armageddons -> tachyons hit well at 50km? arma can lock at 50km?
I'm thinking that sentry drones alone aren't a big problem, it's more when they are coupled with 375m3 drone bay ship with damage bonus + plenty ew + nimble sig res tanking. Everyone who are stuck on the Gardes also forget that Ishtars have enough drone bay to efficiently deal good damage anywhere from 0-125km. Simply, 11 points for an Ishtar is a super bargain, while noone are going to pay 11 points for an eagle or cyclone.
In the end it's not really unfair seeing how everyone who want just can field those 9 ishtars and be at an advantage against most everyone who don't, but how can it be more exciting watching 9 ishtars hours on end than 7 sb's / 2 logistics?

3. Unused points will be added to the opponents score.
Question:
Will these unused points be added to your opponents score even if they don't kill a single ship? Or will they only be given if they kill all your ships, or perhaps if destroying at least one ship?
Imo, no points should be awared for being an epic fail, ie killing 0 ships in 20 minutes. I think it's sufficient to award it when all ships are killed, so that a complete wipeout will allways be worth 125 points.

Plus the fact that if both teams are allowed to consume boosters, even if its only allowed within the arena, you throw in a large element of random chance to the outcome of a fight. We want the tournament to be as much as possible a test of your piloting skill and fitting knowledge, and as little as possible based on randomness.
Why didn't anyone think of this when you 'fixed' ecm :/
