While not featured in this fit, another common component of an Active Shield Tank is a Shield Boost Amplifier, which increases the effectiveness of a Shield Booster. (And in many cases, an SBA is actually a more effective module than a Multispectrum Shield Hardener.)

The Low rack of this ship is an extremely greedy rack: Four Drone Damage Amplifiers, and two Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancers. Four damage modules is often considered excessive (as with more than two, [[Stacking ~~Penalties~~]] start to become a problem), however between this ship's very high resistances and long range, it can afford to run maximum damage with no sacrifices. The two Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancers are used to improve the accuracy of its Heavy Drones against smaller ships.

There are some Ishtar variants which use an Assault Damage Control as one of their few Defensive modules. To this point, as a Damage Control (or Assault Damage Control) is the only Low-slot module which directly affects Shield resistances, it is an extremely useful module to have in most Active Shield Tanked ship fits; and in most fits which are less greedy than this Ishtar, it is an extremely common feature.
