Counter example:

Lear vs. Thunderbolt II

One is obviously more aesthetically-refined, but I know which one *I* find more attractive.

Those of you who think it looks bad (it looks beautiful, much more like something real than all the other ships in Eve) just need to learn to appreciate it. Those of you who can't see how to use it with those bonuses, well, your going to miss out.

Me and a small gang will rule the skies with these things. I will take out great swathes of opposition, 2 vs 20 man battles and I will kill everything. Those bonuses are beautiful. Your not looking at the big picture. The short sightedness of everyone in here is incredible.

Does anyone know how much it will cost?

Have fun hitting anything with your sentries without optimal/tracking bonuses and without many omnis (you'll need cap mods and tackle).
The opposition could bring one Armageddon and you'll die in a fire.

A-10 all the way. I like a woman with some meat on her bones...and who could bust a tank.

Projected price is going to be 700 million but maybe over a billion (factor in the LP "cost").

Please, nothing can look uglier then Minmatar ships, at least!

Forget the looks, what about the function of the ship? Dem bonuses

Yep fit for pulse and try for close range drones you need omnis in the mids to track and hence have to armor tank but lose DDAs and not enough grid. Try and fit beams for range and you run out of grid for tach but assuming you get a beam fit to work, you do not have the targeting range which again will require sebos which again steal mids from your omnis or DDAs from your lows.

My personal preference is a touch more targeting range and power grid ... but every one seems to have their own ideas on how to "fix" this ship.

100 Nestors rep-ing each other and on drone-assist.
Wouldn't it be the nightmarish subcap equivalent of Archon/Aeons ?

I think...

Then why not use an carrier instead of a less tanky BS that costs about the same? Or do you see these 100 man Nestor fleets being used in high sec?

It takes an educated gentleman to appreciate the beauty of the Nestor.

That is an extremely optimistic value.

Going further with the Excel magic and looking at BUY orders for items unique to the SOE store, I get an estimated sale price (excluding material costs) at 1.5 B ISK.

It is probably fair to speculate that at least half of the pirate battleships currently on the market has been produced by BPCs found in DED complexes, and as the Nestor is not planned to have that option, its price will be much higher than the rest.



Of course, this also hints that the SOE ship BPCs likely will be included in a drop table somewhere. Perhaps Ghost Sites...

Sentries were a favorite for PvE and some PvP drone use well before the ships using them had damage application bonuses, so how did the ships without them suddenly become unusable?

Did any of these ships cost 2 billion isk?

With 2b isk ima just go get an archon....

Did any of these ships cost 2 billion isk?

As myself and others have stated in the F&I thread, this ship has no real purpose. At any given role, there are a plethora of ships that will do the job better. Add to that the fact that most of those ships will almost always be cheaper, and the nestor just plain confuses me.

Wasn't there just a big initiative (tiercide) to reduce the number of useless ships in eve? Why would CCP want to add a subpar BS?

I bet you are the type of person who fancies Sarah Jessica Parker.
