== Summary ==
The Ishkur is a [[Tech_II|tech II]], drone-based [[Gallente|Gallente]] [[Assault_Ship|assault ship]]. It is widely regarded to be one of the best [[Assault_Ships|assault ships]] in the game due to its long range, versatility, high degree of survivability, and friendliness to solo PVPers.

== Strengths and Weaknesses ==
'''Strengths:'''
* Can effectively engage any target within its drone control range.
* Can very effectively engage [[Interceptors|interceptors]], especially when rail fit.
* When [[Blaster|blaster]] fit, does almost as much [[Dps|DPS]] as an [[Enyo]] without the [[Enyo|Enyo]]'s inability to do anything to any target not in [[Blaster|blaster]] range, as well as having three midslots verses the [[Enyo]]'s two.
* Though not the fastest [[Assault_Ship|assault ship]], when fit with a good [[Tech_II|tech II]] or cheap faction afterburner, it is fast enough to kite or close with other [[Assault_Ships|assault ships]], and with an overheated afterburner can even catch some [[MWD|MWD]]'ing cruisers.
* Tanks missile fire exceptionally well when fit with an afterburner.
* Can engage NPCs effectively in a [[PvP|pvp]] fit, making it a solid choice as a [[Factional_Warfare|Factional Warfare]] [[Mission|mission]] running or [[PLEX|plex]] [[Ship|ship]].
* Agile enough to run through virtually any gatecamp in [[Lowsec|lowsec]] with good enough Spaceship Command and Evasive Maneuvering skills.

'''Weaknesses:'''
* Requires very high drone skills to be truly effective.
* Vulnerable to swarms of light drones.
* Lacks tank to engage neutrals on gates.
* Rail fits are very weak if forced to engage at close range and they can't open the distance. [[Blaster|Blaster]] fits are forced to depend soley on drones if engaging at long range and may not be able to hold a fast target down long enough to score the kill.
* Slow - usually has no real escape options once engaged.
* Very unfriendly to [[MWD|MWD]] fits due to the Ishkur's need to maintain a low sig radius, especially if expecting to engage larger targets.
* Has difficulty damaging other [[Assault_Ships|assault ships]] that are using explosive hardeners, unless it uses drones other than Warrior IIs, but other drone types are too slow to speed-tank [[Frigate|frigate]]-sized short-range weapons, forcing the Ishkur to fit drone [[Rigs|rigs]] and a nav computer if the pilot wants to use other drone types.
