Since a large part of the SoE ships are their advanced circular warp drives, does anyone else think it'd be reasonable to make this battleship warp faster than a normal battleship? Maybe 2.5 au/s? It also would line up well with the decreased mass idea. Just seems like there aught to be a purpose to that giant circular engine since it's not being used as a stabilizer for covert cloaks.
Also, I'd just like to say that I really love the look of the concept art I saw for it, with the front loaded warp engine: http://imgur.com/9gSs7J8 |

Except that they aren't circular warp drives. They're strange structures that are connected to the power core. Until now, they've been connected to augmenting cloak operation. |

Given that the smaller ships are effectively CovOps, why not design the nestor to be a black ops BS? Give it a covert jump drive and the ability to fit a jump portal generator.
If you keep the current design I am not sure about its effectiveness. You mention small mass will make it great in wormholes but Sleepers eat drones for breakfast and any WH corp in a hole deep enough to bring battleships is using Logistics cruisers; that combined with the fact reps without bonused range are pretty crap marginilizes this ship for W-Space use. |

Not sure when it gets to sisi but there will be plenty of time before release to play with it.
The range bonus may be helpful to run PvE, considering the ease of drifting out of Logi range and difficulty of getting back into it using a battleship. I am not sure how much more helpful a 16.8km rep would be in PvP applications.
I was suggesting a range AND amount bonus, rather than one or the other. Considering the use of highslot reps and focus on drone damage, I don't think many people will be fitting lasers anyways. More likely will be highslots filled with cap transfers and reps, along with a probe launcher and possibly a cloak.
In short, replace the laser bonus. The results should look like this:
Amarr Battleship Bonuses: 4% Armor resistances per level
Gallente Battleship Bonuses: 10% drone damage and hitpoints per level
Role bonuses: 50% bonus to remote repair amount 100% bonus to remote repair optimal range 50% increased strength for scan probes +10 virus strength for relic and data analyzers

Consider using one of these additional bonuses for the drones: 1. Drone control range 2. Drone optimal 3. Drone tracking 4. Drone speed
If you don't want to make it a sentry drone, but more heavies/medium, a drone speed bonus would be preferable. If you want a sentry drone based ship, it lacks some drone control range bonus. An exploration ship needs a ton of slots for support modules, so fitting in a Drone Link Agumentor is only viable if you drop the turrets and that's not that good idea when you don't have drone damage projection bonuses.
Just a few thoughts. |

For PVE, i dont think you need the range as you just sit on top of your sentries or the other rrbs.
For PVP, i think a range bonus would be hilariously OP, as it would then basically act as 3 logi but with 200k ehp. |

Okay so I agree with the rep range, to me it makes more since, but my question is in the release of the picture they specifically said it would have a shuttle bay and a medical bay, both of which has not been even remotely mentioned on this thread, WHAT WILL IT BE! Cause a clone bay would be sweet imo. |

1. remove data/relic bonus 2. remove scanning bonus
3. add 200% RR range 4. add a special feature like clone vat or maintenance bay... maybe even black ops
It needs something to justify the ridiculous price and the hype. The Stratios is special, the Nestor atm is not. Make it special, give it something unique. (Ice) Miner for life. |

On paper it would seem good for Incursions but with only 8K RR range the fleet would have to be small or pretty tightly packed. Start the day off slow and taper off from there.

Black ops cloak bonuses would make it better for lowsec pve. In highsec you wouldnt use this over a dominix anyway. |

Da "Logi-BS" incoming, fits the SoE theme good.
This will be awesome for small scale BS-Spidertank setups where the low scan resolution doesn't matter that much. As long as you have the ISK to loose one, of course |

It doesn't need logistics range reps, it just needs ones a little farther than baseline. Spider-tanking domis for complex running (which is what these most strongly resemble) have a really irritating habit of getting bumped or drifting out of rep range because the reps are short range.

Ok.
1. Don't be silly saying that it will be used at Incursions, just stahp.
2. Virus/Data bonus on BS? Srly? Get rid of it, wasted bonus.
3. Scanning bonus - meh another wasted bonus, it won't fit into BS style, especially with new depot structure.
4. Awesome mass and drone bay.
5. Boring bonuses (another armor res, same drone bonuses and useless energy turrets bonus...)
6. RR are something fresh and interesting but x2 range is needed as well.
Why no real invention considering hull bonuses? Something like automatic repair system (overheated modules will automaticaly repair over time with 50% heat reduction on hull), or 100% cap reduction for energy turrets ;)
Just don't do another drone boat, we got plenty of them, with armor and shields.
So as it stands now it's boring ship with plenty useless bonuses (little mass is like light in the tunnel) |

The last thing we need is a cloaky sentry blackops ship. We have enough cloak in the game at the moment.
I don't see people risking this ship in any credible way.
it is a nice ship.. a VERY nice ship. But the price is probably the prohibitive factor (as with most ships in pvp, why risk a billion isk ship when a 100 million isk insurable ship will do pretty much the same thing).
Then again, this game is not balanced around "Solo". Its fleet fights, and this ship has potential, but hell the guardian/oni can fit the same reppers this ship can fit and is much more agile.
I probably would have done the same thing to the Stratios (cloaky support vessel). This ship... up in the air.
The lack of cloak hurts it with doing low/null/wormhole ghost sites, but putting a cloak on this ship would be wtf pwnage. Then again the Sin battleship already can field full sets of drones...
You know what.. A cloaking device on this may not be a bad idea. A T1 version of the T2 black ops ship, that could potentially be combat fit, but is really a support vessel...
I hate saying "this could be viable with a cloak on it", but I hate having even MORE cloak in the game.
up and down on this. Guess that means the ships in the right ball park. Stabbers are totally broken

Not sure when it gets to sisi but there will be plenty of time before release to play with it.
Preferably range, due to keeping speeds up on partners you need a wider orbit, not accounting for drift, bumps, speed difference due to skills or alignment change, the basic range on the remote reps is god awful and impractical both in pvp terms and pve. the medium repair is even worse. It might work if the ship itself is the anchor, but then counterparts is affected.
this also applies to some t3 subs.
Please just increase the range on the rep moduels themself to aprox 10.2k minimum to allow more interesting plays. |

No ship "needs" a MJD bonus but this ship would be better with it.
Do we really want a third ship in the SoE line to be a code breaker and scanner?
In it's current for the ship is just a PVE boat. Anything with a rep range under 20km will not get used as logi unless you spider tanking and even then, other battle ships would do a better job.
Examples of good bonuses this ship could have: 1. Can use black ops jump portal 2. No recalibration after decloak 3. MJD reactivation reduction 4. Repair dron rep amount bonus 5. Smart bomb damage/range bonus |

Sad to hear that, because bonus for scanning in WH are useless without cloak.

Okay, fair point, but they were related to providing extra capability to the warp drive, in the way that they reduced its interference on cloaking devices. So it still makes sense to me that they could provide increased maximum warp speed since they aren't really being used as power core stabilizers or whatever for cloaking. It also still makes sense even just with the massively decreased mass. |

I have run 0.0 exploration with RR Battleships and never had any problem with the rep range. Not even with small MJD f*ck-ups. German blog about smallscale lowsec pvp: http://friendsofharassment.wordpress.com |

Amarr/gallente resist-bonused battleship should really have 8 lows. Split weapons ships need lots of weapons or big damage bonuses, not 5 guns and a range bonus. The best thing I think this ship could be, is a navy cominix done right, but that's not what it is right now. |
