Again, these changes don't go far enough IMO. The sig radius change is insignificant and should be reduced even further, and the mass should be reduced more.
Btw Fozzie, it's funny that wormhole space needed fundamental changes to justify the Nestor.

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. You should be able to fit an Astero in there at least.

It's pretty clear now that this ship will never get a covert ops cloak. If it did, that would justify the current price but as CCP are seeking to reduce the price, it's unlikely the ships will get a cloak.
People say price isn't a balancing factor but they're wrong. If this ship drops below 500 mill and we start to see gangs of RR Nestors roaming around, people are going to start screaming for it to be nerfed.
Advantages of a nestor gang
* great repping ability
* good drone damage
* good laser damage projection
* good tank
* good speed
* can refit in space (e.g. fit warp stabs when in trouble)
* can escape using a MJD
Disadvantages
... cost?
The design of this ship has been a mess from day one. Fozzie should have balanced the ship around the ability to fit a covert cloak and everyone would be happy... but no. instead he's just going to pile more bonuses on it until it becomes the swiss army knife of eve.
Ps. the ship is ugly as ****!

CCP Fozzie wrote:Hey guys, after some more feedback from you guys we have a couple more additions to the changes to announce.
We're going to increase the sensor strength of the Nestor a bit to better reflect its role as a high-tech support vessel.
We're also going to be decreasing the mass of the ship quite a bit, down to 20m kg. This will help keep the Nestor balanced for use in highsec wars as it will be easier to bump away from the safety of stations, and has the added benefit of making the Nestor the first battleship that can jump into C1 wormholes. We'll be decreasing the base speed and inertia modifier at the same time, but the end result is that the Nestor will be a bit more agile and will be a bit faster than before with its prop mod running.
The new changes are:
Mass: 20,000,000 (-36,000,000)
Inertia: 0.5 (+0.32)
Velocity: 65 (-27)
Magnetometric Sensor Strength: 30 (+6)
 That is crazy! ... but i like it 
If i haven't got bored with the lack of new things to do in wormhole space in a month or so, I might buy one.
