Blast smarter, not harder. – CreoDron marketing Specialized as a frigate-class drone carrier, the Ishkur carries less in the way of firepower than most other Gallente gunboats. With a fully stocked complement of drones and a skilled pilot, however, no one should make the mistake of thinking this vessel easy prey. As the largest drone developer and manufacturer in space, CreoDron has a vested interest in drone carriers. While sacrificing relatively little in the way of defensive capability, the Ishkur can chew its way through surprisingly strong opponents - provided, of course, that the pilot uses top-of-the-line CreoDron drones.

Summary

The Ishkur is two T1 hulls rolled into one: the tank and turrets of the Incursus, as well as the drone systems of the Tristan. To understand this role, it is important to understand what is involved in the step up to T2. All assault frigates boast increased survivability and damage, and this hull boasts superior resists, as well as the dual weapon system, respectively increasing those aspects. While it does not have the tracking bonus of the Tristan, it has received the repair bonus of the Incursus in the Uprising expansion, making the comparison especially apt. Like those hulls, the Ishkur is quite flexible, being able to fit both railguns and blasters, and it functions just as well in PvE as in PvP. It can function as either a kiter or agile brawler depending on the fit. Its main weakness is its slow speed, as well as a tendency to have an explosive resist hole.

The Gallente Frigate bonus is straightforward and should already apply at its maximum, as Frigate V is a requirement for the T2 hull. However, the T2 Assault Frigates skill bonus needs some explanation - it provides strong soft bonuses which improve the versatility of the hull. These are increasing the range on your turrets and giving you space for backup/redundant drones. These bonuses mean you can fight at range and still apply your turret damage - indeed, it is possible to hit out to the drone control range of 55km with a well skilled T2 railgun, or do damage out to scram-kiting range with T2 Null S ammo loaded in blasters. The range bonus makes the hull viable in a sniper fleet, or gives it potential to compete with a scram kiter using a blaster and brawler loadout.

The slot layout is best suited to an armor tank, which likely fills up the powergrid with a decent 200mm buffer plate. However, a fair shield tank may still be possible for sniping or mobility, leaving more room for damage modules.

A long, long time ago...
It was once unusual to carry a full set of light drones on a frigate, prior to the introduction of the Algos and revamp of the Tristan. The highest count was the Imicus, which had 3.

Skills

As a T2 hull it is noticeably more expensive and there is much less insurance, so it is suggested you fly it well and avoid losing it when you do. So make sure you can fit it well too!

It is strongly recommended to have a full flight of T2 light drones with a long control range, requiring:

• Drones V
• Drone Interfacing IV
• Light Drone Operation V
  • At least one Racial Drone Specialisation III
• Drone Avionics V
• Drone Navigation III
• Drone Durability III

T2 Hybrids are also suggested:

• Gunnery V
• Small Hybrid Turret V
• Railgun/Blaster Specialisation III
• Support skills, such as Sharpshooter and Trajectory Analysis are vital, and the damage/RoF DPS support skills will also be of help.

And a T2 tank is vital - suggesting armor:

• Hull Upgrades IV
• Repair Systems III or Armor Layering III (Active or Passive, respectively)
• EM Armor Compensation and Explosive Armor Compensation
• Armor Rigging III (to reduce the speed penalties of an already slow ship).
• Consider Navigation support skills as part of your defenses, especially in PvE.

Notes

In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Ishkur was a god of rain, storms, and thunder.

Patch History

A long, long time ago...

Version 20.10 - 2022-11-08 - Uprising (Patch Notes) The Ishkur has lived too long in the shadow of its sibling, the Enyo. Drone tracking speed is not a very impactful bonus outside of niche circumstances, so removing this and giving the Ishkur a bonus to armor repair can help to improve its survivability, while trading a low slot for a medium slot gives it a different slot layout than the enyo and helps to improve its combat utility. The loss of the low does impact tank, however with the addition of the armor repair bonus, we can perhaps consider this an even trade + the addition of a mid slot. -CCP Aurora, Balance Updates Coming with Uprising, October 2022 CPU increased from 155 tf to 170 tf (+15 tf) Powergrid increased from 42 MW to 50 MW (+8 MW) Low slot count reduced from 4 to 3 (-1) Mid slot count increased from 3 to 4 (+1) Updated Assault Frigate bonuses: Removed 7.5% bonus to drone tracking speed per level. New Bonus: 7.5% bonus to armor repair amount per skill level October 2019 Release - 2019-10-30.1 - "Howling Interceptors" Update The maximum velocity attribute has been decreased by 10% for all Assault Frigates Max Velocity reduced from 339 m/s to 308 m/s (-31 m/s) February Balance Update - 29.01.18 We are giving Assault Frigates a substantial balance pass. Every AF is getting a speed boost in the form of increased max velocity and lowered mass. Every AF is also getting base capacitor numbers increased by approximately 30%. Also, we have more significant changes for the Ishkur, Retribution, and Jaguar. All Assault Frigates: +18% max velocity -10% mass +30% capacitor Capacity Ishkur: New Assault Frigate bonus per skill level: 7.5% drone tracking speed (was 5m3 additional drone bay per level) Drone Bay increased to 50m3 (was 25m3)
