Can dev explain why Nestor battleship can be built with 1/5 mass of a normal battleship and similar structure hitpoint compare to other battleship? especially why Angel Cartel use some Jove technology but haven't built ships as light as Nestor? they also target to build a high speed vessel. |

It uses Jove technology which is ahead of the technology available to the four empires.
The Jove are sort of the Deus Ex Machina of Eve. When you need a plausible excuse for why something seems a little off when compared to other things, invoking the Jove gives you an easy way out of the conundrum. Eve is a multi player game.-áAnd you are the content. - Ralph King-Griffin |

Would be a plausible, except you would have to explain the Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine it uses for propulsion.

Legacy Code and Pssssssssssssh. Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch. |

It has less mass because it is hollow inside... like a stripper or redhead or goth kid. If only CCP gave it enough the proper amount of love to properly define it! Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

SOE apparently Lore wise, did studies on the EVE-gate. So it's possible during the wormhole collapse that split the old earth explorers, from earth, caused some sort of 'super' Polymer type material that can be found near by.
That would be my made up explanation though. =P Psychotic Monk for CSM9

Could be the way they moved the drive systems to the ring results in a lower gravitic mass signature? I think that works with technobabble... |

Actually there is no technology behind the Nestor. What you'll find is that the Nestor is an entry on a data base that has a graphical representation and has a list of property's one of which being it's mass, altering this number will ether raise or lower it's mass. (I'm not a programmer so correct me if I'm wrong)
This is a computer game best try and not invent 'technology' to explain stuff and just accept that stuff does stuff. |

Because they stripped out nearly all reasonable functionality of the ship, instead putting in a mish mash of features that don't work cohesively together making it a worse choice than a more functional ship in nearly every single case. A few niche applications are all that are valid. So the exclusion of decent function is how they got it so light. |

Dude, devs are worse than hookers. Hookers usually charge and do what you tell them to do, devs charge too, don't do what you ask them to do but promise they will keep doing things better in the future. You really want a dev to talk to you? |

EVElopedia wrote:The Sanctuary corporation poured uncountable resources into making the cloaking technology developed for the Stratios fit the Nestor but were eventually forced to concede that it was impossible. The effort was not without benefit though, as part of their work focused on reducing the Nestor's mass enough that it could make its way into unexplored territories that might've been hazardous to bulkier vessels.
