Damnit... I've already modified a dozen setups to take advantage of refitting on the field...

Altaen wrote:Super happy about the Nestor change, but I disagree that there is no place competitively for the existing Nestor. I'd even go as far as to say that it's quite standard in the AT format for a number of battleships not to utilize their highslots for much more than Drone Link Augmentors, Neuts, Energy Transfers, and smartbombs. I suppose you really can't think of a use for an armor resist bonused drone bonused battleship with a ton of mids in this competition?
That said, I think it's poor form to ban a ship 5 days before match day, and worse form to change ship stats during a multi-week competition that many players put a lot of time into practicing for. I'd like to think that the new release schedule could allow for the agility to avoid such things.
I mean obviously you can't allow combat refitting in this tournament...but a release schedule that ignores the tournament cycle entirely is irresponsible.
The problem isNOT the lack of a competitive place fo the Nestor. The problem is the changes make the Nestor WAY TOO POTENT for the current AT point distribution.
Specifically, it is the ability to refit on the field that makes the Nestor incredibly powerful:
You can suddenly swap hardeners to efficiently tank your opponents dps. You can suddenly swap jams to match your opponents ship types. You can suddenly refit damps or tracks to neutralize a particular threat. You can suddenly swap warfare links to optimize your fighting style. You can suddenly swap out burned out modules. The adaptability a Nestor brings to the field is worth WAY more than 20 pts.
