Ashimmu
 
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

In those of the Empire's regions where naughty children are frightened into submission with tales of the Blood Raiders and their gallery of horrors, the terrible spear of the Ashimmu is known by all as a bringer of things worse than death. This is one of the few things that small children and capsule pilots generally agree upon. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Ashimmu suffers from much the same problems as the Cruor although at least it can fit the essential 4 modules to makes its design work: propulsion, tackle, web and cap booster. The problem arises however that you can't gank it enough to make the resulting tank acceptable, but you also can't tank it enough to make the resulting gank respectable.

- Ashimmu can be useful for gate/station camps, as they combine the role of the Huginn and Curse into one ship. However, they don't operate as effectively as either one.
- Upgrading to a Federation Navy Stasis Webifier is strongly encouraged, as it provides an extra 4 km in web range.
- Meta 4 medium neuts have lower fitting requirements than the T2 versions, and have the same stats as of Retribution, so there's no reason to use the T2.
- Ashimmu are slow and have no range bonuses to their EWAR modules. It is recommended that you use them only where the enemy fleet comp is known and will appear in a small area (station undocks, bubble camps). Any fleet action would be better served by flying a Curse or Rapier.
- As fittedm with all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 53.8 K EHP, flies at 1155 m/s (1636 m/s with MWD on overheat) and align in 10.2 s (7.5 s with MWD off).
- Damage varies between 265 dps at 6.8 + 3.8 km with Imperial Navy Multifrequency to 211 dps at 20 + 3.8 km with Pulse.
- Will drain 79 GJ/s, emptying the capacitor of most Cruiser's sized ships in less than a minute

- Good capacitor and armor tanking skills

- EHP: 50k
- Resists (heat): 70.3 / 75.1 (81.2) / 71.3 (78.3) / 69.4 (76.9)
Tactics
Because the Ashimmu has no range bonuses to its neuts or webs, it must operate within 10-14 km of its target. Since it is an armor fitted ship, it will be quite slow at moving to attack a target. For most missions, a Curse or a Rapier will be much more useful for neuting or webbing a target. However, in very small gang fights in defined areas (bubble camps, station undocks), an Ashimmu can serve well. The Ashimmu is much cheaper than a neuting Legion and has a better Neuting/Mass ratio except for the eight neut version of the Legion with perfect skills. Its energy vampire bonus also makes it the perfect ship for webbing in w-space capital escalations.
