I for one am really happy about these changes, they really reflect the background of the ship, it makes sense to have a Maint Bay and fleet refitting services. I would also personally like to see an increase to the internal cargo space, as it isn't that much bigger than a Stratios, I'd love to use my Nestor for it's role as a support ship to a fleet of exploring Stratios and Asteros. |

Nobody is going to go exploring in a Nestor no matter how much the price comes down because it's a battleship. The fitting bay is pretty cool, and goes well with the idea that the Nestor is a support ship, so ramp up its RR capabilities, tank, etc.. Make it excel at being a support ship.
Whilst not good at the job, and as someone stubborn like me, I explore with my Nestor. |

I'm certainly not complaining about the changes you've made etc, some of them I really do welcome, and I'm very glad you're taking a look at it again.
I find the cargospace of the Nestor a bit lackluster when compared to the huge bay space of the Stratios. (I'd love to have a rig or module that converted drone space to cargo space...)
I would also like to add that I've heard of lots of cases of the current Nestor being used as a remote shield repair ship in Wormholes. A lot of people are wanting a combat ship to replace their Tengus etc, but so many seem to forget it's a support/exploration ship at heart. And I love using it in those roles :)
Good work Fozzie! |

I just realised I can fit the Zephyr into the maintenance bay! Gets better and better! |

The problem lies with the Modile Depot... Any ship with a large enough hold can carry it and then the fleet could use it. That's the point CCP wanted when they created it, so I'm not sure why there's such a focus on the Nestor having one.
The idea is that the ships the Nestor is supporting won't have to use 50m3 of their cargo space holding their own depo, nor have to waste the 90s it takes to online the depo by bringing the Nestor. If you're going out to explore/do fleet things with the Nestor as a support ship, you want the cargo space spare for people to loot/salvage more things. |

As far as the nes and hacking, I've ran across one person that uses it for hacking COSMOS but otherwise I've heard nothing on it bieng used elsewhere for the same.
Exploration ships should be reasonably fast and agile, or at least middle of the pack. This....thing needs help. The bonuses remind me of a T3 I set up in eft while drunk.
switching to shield and armor rep bonus rather than just armor (Or have SOCT release their shield BS counterpart), instead of giving it bastion, set it up with a triage version of a bastion that increases rep range, tank and a bonus to rep cap usage would be beneficial.
it's 5am, sorry if I'm a bit scattered.
I am a long long term Nestor fan, and can tell you there actually there is a fit for a VG Nestor, and if you have the ISK it's possible to fit it for a HQ too, as a DPS ship, not as a logi (VG is currently the only place a nestor can logi viably without changing the current way Incursion FCs run them).
I'm currently not logged into EVE to send you the fit. You'll get a lot of FC's who moan or whinge about it, and you HAVE to have close to perfect drone skills (Sentry and racial spec to 5) before it becomes legitimately viable but it is possible.
At the moment the VG and HQ Nestor can out DPS and out maneuver the staple armour BS Napoc. It's additional rep bonuses mean if there is any panic moments in your fleet where you need extra logi help the Nestor can fill the gap amply and then some.
If your fleet needs a hacker or ore dropper it's speed and relic hack can fill both those roles! |
