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

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 with Heavy Assault Ships 4 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.

• Can be switched to Magnetometric sites by changing the Codebreaker by an Analyzer.
• The blasters are used mostly to get rid of frigates or drones that get too close.
• As fitted, with all skills at V and before fleet boost, this ship has 41.6 K EHP, flies at 521 m/s (665 m/s with AB overheated) and align in 9.2 s (6.8 s with AB off). The capacitor is stable.
• Damage varies between 685 at 2.6 + 3.8 km with Caldari Navy Thorium and Ogre II drone to 292 at 85 km with Hammerhead II drones.

• As fitted, with all skills at V and before fleet boost, this ship has 37.8 K EHP, flies at 1452 m/s (2056 m/s with MWD overheated) and align in 9.2 s (6.8 s with MWD off). The capacitor is stable.
• Damage varies between 722 dps at 62.8 + 12 km with Garde II sentries to 587 at 109 km (max drone control range) with Curator II sentries.
