==Summary==

== Summary ==
One of the best cruiser class ships, the Ishtar can deal some serious damage with drones with a good tank. The Ishtar has the bandwidth to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones, and it has a 325m3 drone bay, allowing it to carry several different drone flights. With a balanced 5 mid, 5 low slot layout the Ishtar can be shield or armor tanked. Without refitting the Ishtar can deploy sentry drones and snipe, or heavy drones and brawl up close, while carrying light and medium drones to deal with smaller ships. The Ishtar has no bonuses to weapons, so its highs are free to use drone link augmentors, cap warfare, or guns to add DPS.
+
The '''Ishtar''' can deal some serious drone damage and maintain a good tank. Though only cruiser-sized, the Ishtar has the bandwidth to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones, and it has a 375{{m3}} drone bay, allowing it to carry several different drone flights for tactical flexibility.
  
The Ishtar is currently one of the most popular kiting ships due to good speed and tank combined with the excellent damage projection native to Sentry Drones
+
Pilot should note that the Ishtar is not exactly a straight upgrade from its base hull, the [[Vexor]]. The Ishtar has more bonuses, but ''all'' of those bonuses apply to drones of one kind or another, while the Vexor has one bonus to drones and one bonus to hybrid turrets. The Vexor's damage ceiling in a blaster brawling fit is very high. What the Ishtar offers beyond the Vexor's capabilities is the capacity to use full flights of heavy or sentry drones.
  
==Skills==
+
With no turret bonuses, the high slots on the Ishtar can be used for [[capacitor warfare]] or [[salvaging]], or fitted with projectile turrets for additional (unbonused but capacitor-free) DPS.
As the Ishtar is a drone boat, it is highly recommended that the following skills be trained before a pilot attempts to fly the ship:
 
  
*Drones V
+
== Skills ==
*Gallente Drone Specialization IV
+
The Ishtar is primarily a drone boat. It deserves T2 drones, and since most of its DPS comes from drones, [[Drones#Skills|decent drone skills]] are required to fly the ship to its full potential. Like other HACs, the Ishtar has tight fitting requirements, and pilots should brush up their [[fitting skills]]; like other HACs, it should also be given a T2 tank.
*Combat Drone Operation IV
 
*Scout Drone Operation V
 
*Drone Interfacing IV
 
*Drone Navigation IV
 
*Drone Sharpshooting IV
 
*Drone Durability IV
 
*Sentry Drone Interfacing V
 
*Heavy Drone Operation V
 
  
Additionally, as the Ishtar is somewhat difficult to fit without the proper skills, it is recommended that the pilot have the CORE SHIP OPERATION level IV and CORE WEAPON FITTING level IV certificates, which include (among other skills):
+
== Tactics ==
 +
''No sub-article about {{PAGENAME}} roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
  
*Power Grid Management V
+
== Notes ==
*CPU Management V
+
In Mesopotamian mythology, Ishtar was the goddess of love and war. Also known as [[Astarte]].
*Weapon Upgrades V
 
*Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV

== Patch History ==

{{Expansion past

|'''2022-11-08''' Version 20.10 [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-20-10#ships Patch notes] [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/uprising-expansion-now-live News: Uprising Expansion]
 +
* Heavy Assault Cruiser rebalance
 +
*# Reduce heavy HAC dominance in fleet combat which has persisted since their 2017 balance pass.
 +
*# Make room for other ship types to step into the spotlight, such as battleships.
 +
*# Not nerf HACs into oblivion - find and retain healthy use-cases.
 +
*# Maintain HAC identity as a high-damage / heavy tank ship option.
  
Finally, as the Ishtar is a T2 ship, the pilot should be able to fit a T2 shield or T2 armor tank to the ship (''this is required by E-UNI rules'').

While not endowed with as much pure firepower as other ships of its category, the Ishtar is more than able to hold its own by virtue of its tremendous capacity for drones and its unique hard-coded drone-control subroutines.

Developer: CreoDron
Touted as "the Ishkur's big brother," the Ishtar design is the furthest CreoDron have ever gone towards creating a completely dedicated drone carrier. At various stages in its development process plans were made to strengthen the vessel in other areas, but ultimately the CreoDron engineers' fascination with pushing the drone carrier envelope overrode all other concerns.

Summary

The Ishtar can deal some serious drone damage and maintain a good tank. Though only cruiser-sized, the Ishtar has the bandwidth to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones, and it has a 375 m3 drone bay, allowing it to carry several different drone flights for tactical flexibility.

Pilot should note that the Ishtar is not exactly a straight upgrade from its base hull, the Vexor. The Ishtar has more bonuses, but all of those bonuses apply to drones of one kind or another, while the Vexor has one bonus to drones and one bonus to hybrid turrets. The Vexor's damage ceiling in a blaster brawling fit is very high. What the Ishtar offers beyond the Vexor's capabilities is the capacity to use full flights of heavy or sentry drones.

With no turret bonuses, the high slots on the Ishtar can be used for capacitor warfare or salvaging, or fitted with projectile turrets for additional (unbonused but capacitor-free) DPS.

Skills

The Ishtar is primarily a drone boat. It deserves T2 drones, and since most of its DPS comes from drones, decent drone skills are required to fly the ship to its full potential. Like other HACs, the Ishtar has tight fitting requirements, and pilots should brush up their fitting skills; like other HACs, it should also be given a T2 tank.

Tactics

No sub-article about Ishtar roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.

Notes

In Mesopotamian mythology, Ishtar was the goddess of love and war. Also known as Astarte.
