To get the price of Nestor down, you have to significantly increase droprate of those chips (I saw no numbers mentioned in the droprate part). After all, with the LP and build costs Nestor's price from the old route is not going to come too much down. Thus I hope that the droprate is adjusted so much that it can outstrip the LP store route completely (and people build Stratios and Astero instead, with only few nonconformists giving finger to LP efficiency).

increasing the drop rate of the Drone Nexus chips that can be converted to Sisters of EVE ship BPCs quite dramatically.

Don't understand why dev are so stubborn ..

put the covert ops cloak on the ship already , give the ship the jump drive for god sake and give the remote rep some serious bonus

Anyway you 'll see with the carppy tweaks no one will use this ships like these days

Im fine with nerfing it and giving it a covops cloak. At least then ONE of the SoE ships will actually have something unique going for it. Remember how pirate ships are supposed to have some bonus that doesn't exist anywhere else?

Yeah that's true, nestor stops being a pirate ship when it suits the poster's argument, and it goes back to being a pirate ship when it suits the poster's argument

Really... And why is that?
It's not fast warping. It's not fast aligning. It's not fast locking. It still has to actually lock it's target after it decloaks & the lock timer expires. So 5+BS Lock time on it's target..... Almost anything can warp off in that time if it's paying attention.
This whole 'BS's should never have a covert cloak' is just one of those fears that has no reality behind it. Give it a Cov Cloak and you won't see 50000 Cloaked Nestors blocking out the sun. You just might see it occasionally supporting smaller cloaked ships. Same for the Black Ops, they could easily have a Cov cloak and not break things.

Also, I never said it wouldn't be good, I said it wouldn't be OP.

So, Nestor begins to have a role in fleet... And quite nice one with refitting feature

Now, what about making it even more fleet-support based?
-remove virus coherence bonuses
-remove +50% laser optimal range
-can fit warfare link (or maybe even 3 like command ships?)
inetria 0,25x (half mass->double inertia)

Considering T3's with a Cov Cloak can have more tank and similar DPS to Black Op's BS's already...... While merely a cruiser which is vastly faster to train to.

Never going to happen, nullifier would be useless. Also making T3 somewhere beetwen T1 and T2 wouldn't be wise (what T1,5?). Everybody wants to fly best ships in current class, T3 is best. If you nerf them so much why the hell anybody would want to fly this things? Because you can build your own ship with subsystems? Skill points loss? It should be best among cruisers but worse than BS. I'm really curious what they will do to T3, there will be oceans of tears, all those rage quits.
I'm tired of "we will nerf module but it will be better if you overheat it". Try it with painter on PvE BS...Everytime i see Fozzieman post i expect he will took some fun and gave nothing in return. Sometimes i have no idea what is the idea behind ship balancing.

If Nestor could launch 5 geckos it would be a lot more interesting without the price change. Would not be surprised to see it used more even with current prices.
