EVE Search - A Design for the SoE Battleship (which is already planned), called the Nestor

Hey everyone- So I've been really excited for all of the SoE ships we're getting, and even more so for the BS, which is coming out in a point release a little after Rubicon hits.

So I was inspired, and drew up a picture of it- ignore the rambling text if you'd like, but I put a decent amount of work into this:

My design for the Nestor.

I actually took some inspiration from Sisi's placeholder model (the star destroyer-esque model) and incorporated it into the picture- I felt like it matched SoE's aesthetic well. Then I molded parts similar to the other SoE ships onto it and mixed it all together.

I also wrote some improvised stats up for it :

Hi- 7
Med- 5
Low- 8

Turret Hardpoints- 5

Drone Bay: 475m3 (yes, its main weapon system is drones, and the exploration/long deployment thing yadda yadda)
Drone Bandwidth: 125mbit/sec
Cargo Hold: 985m3 (again with the long deployment theme)

Role Bonus: 37.5% Bonus to Large Energy Turret tracking speed, optimal range and accuracy falloff
Role Bonus: 37.5% increase Scan Probe Strength
Role Bonus: +15 Virus strength for Relic and Data Analyzers (to make a exploration battleship reasonable to use)

HAS NO SENSOR RECALIBRATION TIME REDUCTION. (to keep the cloak from being OP)

Can fit covert ops cloaking devices (like the others)

Amarr Battleship Skill Bonus per level:
4% bonus to armor resistances

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonus per level:
10% bonus to drone damage and hit points

I am changing these stats as time goes on, in order to balance them with current ship stats.

Tell me what you think- I'd love for CCP to see this and use my drawing as its design Lol

Thanks for reading.
