Interesting. Not sure if it's interesting in a good way though.
A half mass BS seems to be a real bad idea to start with. I assume that is to help it move about data/relic sites. But just seems like it is a bit prone to abuse for PvP.
Data/Relic bonus is just kinda weird. I suppose it'd be useful in a WH. But you sure as hell aren't gonna be using this ship in null or low - it'd just be a comedy killmail waiting to happen. And for hi-sec it'd just be a waste since a CovOps is much more nimble and faster.
The Probe bonus seems a bit much. It scans as well as a CovOps - which is a dedicated prober that sacrifices any form of tank or combat ability. So the bonus should probably be knocked down to the standard 37.5%. Granted, without that bonus why would anybody even bother scanning with a BS? Especially without a CovOps cloak.
The RR bonus seems okay. Adding in a RR range bonus on top of that would be a real bad idea. Should be either/or. With amount bonus only it keeps the ships clustered which makes them a viable target for bombing runs. With just a range bonus it gives them much more flexibility, but could lead to potential abuse in large groups.

Maybe ditch the whole exploration aspect of the ship and focus more on the medic theme? Make it a sort of medic BLOps with a jump drive, RR bonuses, ship refitting, and able to fit command links? Like a mobile triage base or something? |

Well still can't think of a useful purpose for this ship.
Not alot of reason to use this in PvP. A Logi will be much cheaper, more survivable (sig/speed/range), and about on par for skills needed (yes they are op'd, but they are still a fact of the game). Sure the Nestor has massive base rep power, but it's still just a T1 BS which is so damn fat and slow that a Dread could probably hit it reliably. Why would I ever use a Nestor?
And for PvE it still doesn't make much sense. For missions, a Domi does the same job but better. And for exploration a T3/Stratios is faster, more maneuverable, covert cloaks, and is harder to scan out. So again, why use a Nestor?
Maybe a possible solution is to start adding in Hack/Relic stuff to missions? That way it could be useful there. Not saying that the Hack/Relic should be needed to complete the mission, just an added bonus on top. I don't know. Still just seems a massive waste of ISK for little actual benefit. Hopefully there is more to the Nestor that I am just not seeing. |

We certainly would NOT want to prevent them from focusing on more fantastic content like "loot bukkake", the Nestor, and ESSs! I mean it's not like people actually fight in small engagements anyway, sov-blob is where it's at... yo. \o/
