GF! It took us so long to take you down that the pilots you blapped could go find ship on local contracts and come back. If your mods hadn't burned out, it might have been a different fight! A couple of small suggestions if you are mainly wanting to plex fight. It really hurts having to use 3 fitting mods to wedge in unbonused blasters, and if something kitey gets away from you the blasters wont hit anyway and you are unlikely to catch up, so I would lean more into the tank and drone damage (also, I know they look good on paper, but gallente drones really do have terrible tracking). If you really love blasters with some drones, I would highly recommend the Vexor Navy Issue....it can do everything your current fit was rocking with more damage and ehp. Maybe something like this. You can swap the 2nd DDA for a reactive hardener or to plug more of a hole. Good hunting!

points: 1. when shooting frigs with medium guns, keep traversal down, easiest way to do that is Keep at range (especially since some of the frigs are not evening bothering to orbit) 2. not swapping ammo when you should, like firing null on the incurses, 3. why did you fick on the ADC 4. you have warp scrambler and web which actually provides you range control on alot of these frigs. 5. The ishtar has both velocity and tracking bonuses on its drones, medium drones are viable on most frigate targets especially those you've tackled because of this. 6. Navy drones are advised over t2 drones if you expect to fight frig and destroyer gangs often, navy drones have over twice the health and have even stronger tracking with only a marginal decrease in dps. With Heavies your navy drones are genuinely incredibly difficult to defang.

Play to your ship strengths. Ditch the guns and go for more speed and more range on your drones.
