... Give the ship the covops cloak...

Someone suggested just chucking the exploration bonuses and turn this ship into a spacepriest.

Maybe this might work.

Chuck the laser optimal bonus, Give the ship the covops cloak. Give it a MJD (micro jump drive) bonus the marauders have. Increase the remote repair range to 300% percent (range of roughly 30km should do) Give it the bastion module.

There. You now have a sentry based blackops logistics marauder. Covops cloak, sentries, bastion module resistances, remote repairs, billion+ isk ship.

Thats one hell of a spacepriest. completely OP to hell and back. A gang would love one (or 20) of these with them. You get surrounded, start spider tanking the spacepriests.

Marauders in trouble, black ops drop some spacepriests.

With all of that, it MIGHT be worth a billion + isk. Call it a Mini Logistically Capable flying carrier.

EVERY logistics pilot will want to fly one of those (can actually jump with T3 covops gangs, take blackops cynos to support other ships), can actually bring in a support vessel through black ops in other areas. Hell it can even do pew with the sentry drones (and a good amount of pew with the damage bonus)

Blackops Logistics Marauder... Spacepriest... yea I like it.

if i had it my way you'd be banned for 30 day from posting in the eve-o forums for posting that suggestion. Stop sh*tting up these forums with ridiculously dumb suggestions.



and you!

What if you gave it the ability (and corresponding bonuses) to deploy a flight of Repair drones along side it's combat ones? I don't know how hard that is from a code standpoint, but being able to rep one ship while your Gardes tear up another is pretty cool, and would be a blast to play compared to a normal logi.

Give it the ability to use a titan doomsday!

You are joking, but this at least would give the ship a (stupid) purpose. The way it is now, I would name my own vanity Nestor "The Flying Coffin".

It looks like a Jack of all trades, master of none. Or better, a Jack of some trades, expert of none.

Hi

I am very relieved to finally show you the Sisters of EVE Battleship, the Nestor. We weren't able to get it finalized before Rubicon went out, but that's alright because now it makes a nice Christmas present (just kidding it's not until (late)January).

We all agreed that keeping the covert cloak theme was not going to work for the battleship. Instead, we've kept the rest of the exploration feel from the Stratios and Astero by giving the Nestor hacking and probing bonuses, but instead of cloaking it will receive a bonus to remote armor repair amount, drawing on the Sisters of EVE themes of aid and relief. On top of that, the Nestor (as designed currently) has incredibly low mass - around half the mass of a normal Battleship. This should make it very popular in wormholes. The rest of the attribute layout follows the principles from the other Sisters of EVE ships pretty closely, as do the bonuses.

Here's the details:

NESTOR

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
50% bonus to large energy turret optimal range
50% increased strength for scan probes
+10 virus strength for relic and data analyzers

Slot layout: 7H, 6M, 6L; 5 turrets, 0 launchers
Fittings: 11250 PWG, 680 CPU
Defense (shields / armor / hull): 8900 / 9950 / 9900
Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / cap/s) : 6200 / 1044 / 5.9
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 92 / .18 / 56000000 / 13.97
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 125 / 500
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 75km / 85 / 7
Sensor strength: 24 Magnetometric
Signature radius: 465
Cargo Capacity: 700

It will be acquired in the same way that the Stratios and Astero are, via Sisters of EVE LP stores. Here are the LP offer specifics:

Nestor
1,000,000 LP
100,000,000 ISK

Discount Nestor (From the Sanctuary)
800,000 LP
80,000,000 ISK

Nestor Blueprint
600,000 LP
150,000,000 ISK

Discount Nestor Blueprint (From the Sanctuary)
400,000 LP
100,000,000 ISK

I wanted to show you guys some art, but wasn't able to get ahold of the newest version today so I'll edit later with it.

Hope this is exciting! Let me know

At least allow it to get bridged by blackops, if not bridging/jumping by itself.

So... not only CCP yet again failed to produce a coherent line of ships, but at the same time managed to boost the single most boring fleet doctrine (w/o making it less boring). Why am I not surprised?

Welcome to Drones Online.

Its an updated Oneiros, flashier, more expensive, bigger "BOOM".

This thing will cost roughly 6 to 800 million isk for a few months at least.

May or maynot be worth it :-0

Scratch that. This is what the dominix should have been.

6 lows, armor resists per level... things a monster.

Kind of like a mix between the Abaddon and the Dominix. Good blend, good design.

The price though.. yeek
