~~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:

The Ishtar is primarily a drone boat. Since most of its DPS comes from drones, [[Drones#Skills|decent drone skills]] are required to fly the ship to its full potential. Decent drone skills might look like so:

*Drones V

*Drones V - Required to unlock most of the following skills; allows control of 5 drones.

*~~Gallente~~ Drone ~~Specialization IV~~

*Light Drone Operation V - Required for Tech II light drones; 5% bonus to light drone damage per level.

*~~Combat~~ Drone Operation IV

*Medium Drone Operation V - Required for Tech II medium drones; 5% bonus to medium drone damage per level.

*~~Scout~~ Drone Operation V

*Heavy Drone Operation V - Required for Tech II heavy drones; 5% bonus to heavy drone damage per level.

*Drone Interfacing IV

*Sentry Drone Interfacing V - Required for Tech II sentry drones; 5% bonus to sentry drone damage per level.

*Drone ~~Navigation~~ IV

*Racial Drone Specialization IV - Required for racial Tech II light, medium, heavy, and sentry drones; 5% bonus per level to racial drones requiring this skill.

*Drone ~~Sharpshooting~~ IV

*Drone Interfacing IV - 10% bonus per level to drone damage; a very important skill for maximizing DPS.

*Drone ~~Durability~~ IV

*Drone Navigation IV - 5% bonus per level to drone max velocity; drone reach targets and return faster.

*~~Sentry~~ Drone ~~Interfacing V~~

*Drone Sharpshooting IV - 5% bonus per level to drone optimal range; especially important for sentry drones.

*~~Heavy~~ Drone ~~Operation V~~

*Drone Durability IV - 5% bonus per level to drone shield, armor, and hull hit points; drones last longer.

~~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):

The Ishtar is difficult to fit without the proper fitting skills. Consider having the following [[Support_Skills#Fitting|fitting skills]] trained:

*Power Grid Management V

Line 113:

*Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV

Finally, the Ishtar is a Tech II ship and should be fitted with a Tech II tank. Depending on your preferred fit, you can use a [[Tanking#Shield_Tanking_Basic_Skill_Summary|Tech II shield tank]] or a [[Tech II armor tank|Tanking#Armor_Tanking_Basic_Skill_Summary]].

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'')~~.
