EVE General Discussion

Another prime example of "i don't like something so everyone doesn't"

It's probably OK as a tournament ship.

The bonuses look ok until you realise it does not have the grid or slots to use more than one bonus at a time. Certianly does not have the grid for tachs. 2 to 3 Billion is a lot to pay for what it currently looks like being capable of.

Nevertheless I am sure it will sell well, cos it is new and shiney and this is EVE.

If you try and fit for all its many bonuses at once ofc it will be a mess.
Try fitting for just 1-2 of them and you can get some interesting and useful set ups out of it.
It is a good attempt at finding a new niche BS that isn't either a weaker version of something we already have or an OP version of something we already have.
I think you will be surprised at how many of these you will see. The sceptics i know that tried them on Sisi started making excited squeaking noises similar to those made by a Guinea Pig that thinks it will be fed soon.

Now now, don't go all negative Nelly on us. At least I will fly that boat albeit it being a one way flight from the place of purchase to the collection hangar station.

You know, the same guy that designed the Nestor designed the Hel, the Abaddon, Niddhogur, Archon, Avatar, Myrmidon, Hyperion, the Pod, the Drake, Rokh and Hurricane.

Here's his gallery and website.

His name is Ásgeir Jón Ásgeirsson, and I really like his work- give the Nestor a chance- I hated it initially, but I really love it now, especially now that I can fly it on the test server- it's huge compared to most of the other battleships, and it has a great look to it.

Also, I doubt they'd change it anyhow, so quit yer' whinin'

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

The major component of building them is the 600K LP for the BPC in highsec where the majority of SOE ships are built.

I currently average around 3 ISK per LP on other SOE ships and products meaning it will cost around 2 Billion to build one in high sec.

The sell price will eventually settle somewhere above 2 Billion but they may initially sell for twice that in the initial flurry to get one.

I always thought the A-10 was a sweet looking plane. I could never figure our why folks think it's ugly. Then again, maybe I just like ugly.

The worst part about the Nestor is finding a use for it that justifies the cost and it's status as instant truckload of green on a killboard.

It can't warp cloaked and cannot fit a covert cyno like its smaller cousins, and has no real special ability beyond having a lower mass for wormhole travel - which is a problem that wormholers have lived around for years now. I tried to wrap my mind around this one, but cannot. Projected price is going to be 700 million but maybe over a billion (factor in the LP "cost"). There's a lot of other ships that'll do the job for less and not be hunted down strictly "for the kill" either. It's going to need some other special capability to justify the price and the risk of undocking it.

Without that it's a "shiney ship" and LP sink.

I pretty much only fly Gallante ships (skill set) but Minmatar ships are some of the best looking in the game.
