So far it looks like a bigger and slower Stratios with a repair bonus (and new hull desing). I was hoping for a medical bay or some other mildly crazy stuff, this is just a putting Stratios (scaled) numbers on a different hull. Not amused.
Low mass and repair ability will affect only very small amount of people who are looking forward to this ship (the whole population of EVE). Nestor should be the prime battleship of exploration across the whole cluster, not just something only considered good for wormhole space.

If you want the rep range and bonus, at least boost the base mod. It's horrible that any non-logi has to be on top of the ship it's repairing. You should nix the range bonus to this ship and just up the base mod to a 20km range. Medium repairers should be 10km, smalls should be 5km. Then you can modify the bonuses accordingly rather than just bonusing broken modules over and over again.
I really had hoped this BS would have been jump capable or blackops like. It IS supposed to be an exploration ship, right? Exploring requires cloaking and it would be unique if it had a jump range, perhaps not at the level of the BLOPS, but maybe 5 ly with a reduced fuel consumption amount. Or better yet, make it come with a built in microjumpdrive instead of the system jumping ability.
Like others here it just seems like a combination of the Astero and Stratios rather than thinking about what role it should fulfill.
Martin Vanzyl had a good idea:

CCP Rise,
You need to ask yourself the following question, "What does the individual capsuleer not have now, but will need in the future, given the direction that CCP Seagull is steering us in?" Or "What type of ship would we need going through THE stargate?"
There'd be no jump gates in new frontier... so a Small/Medium/Large Jump Drive - which doesn't use fuel, and has significantly less range than fueled Cap Jump Drives, but has a cooldown/recharge timer that will make it quite a strategic consideration when to use it
Clone Vat Bay - similar ability to Rorqual, clone jump into the Nestor and it spawns in space where you last left it in the new galaxy, no need to have to go all the way back to New Eden through the Stargate to jump clone to that corp event you want to attend. Make it an ability only usable 'On grid', hi, low, null, new galaxy through Stargate, so as to avoid making wspace pvp corps cry murder. Since being able to clone jump into wormhole space...Twisted
Ship Maintenance Bay - Dock cruiser and below stuff inside for fitting and repair. For fixing PVE damage to modules and PVP,,, no stations out there.
RR amount and range ability in the band between a Cruiser and Carrier.
Drone bay and bonuses that can give it teeth as well, along with the current Laser bonus.
This will most certainly justify the incredible LP and Isk cost.
Otherwise as it stands now, this ship is just a LP sink.
I think you should consider those points for this ship to make it more useful as its real role, not just a WH PVE piece of crap. |
