In a C5 or a C6 cataclysmic variable a pair of Nestors can be used to ninja relic cans from sleeper sites.

The RR in a cataclysmic variable is amazing, thats where nestor shines and has something logi cruisers dont - microjump drive.

2 Nestors warp in on a can, enter RR, hack the can, microjump away, warp out. No need to kill sleepers, can be in and out in 30 seconds flat, can go into any site.

BUT, BUT, BUT.

Sleeper webs.Once you land in your nestors, you will be perma-webbed to 20 m/s. So going from can to can is out, you only have 1 can.

Going for talocans, the most expensive can, is not worth it - a talocan is worth 50-60 mil nowadays. Risk 3bil in equipment to go after a 50mil in loot? Well, if there is more then 1 site to hack, if you have the zephyr to bookmark everything, I suppose you could use 1 of the nestors to scan the cans to find additional 50-60mil cans (there is always 1 in every site). You could also probably smartbomb the webbing frigates away...

Maybe.

A tool to do PvE in otherwise ignored cataclysmic variable, where a marauder cant go.

But is it worth it to keep a pair of nestors just for that off-chance that you will roll into a cata and not decide to re-roll the static? Probably not in my case, I prefer red giants and different methods.

EDIT - looking more into this, yes its a viable ship to use on sites like info pens - you dont have to grind the sleeper battleships to get to the cans, and there are no webs, initially. with an afterburner its not too slow. Could be interesting.

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).

As I said I did not see the numbers, just that note. That line says nothing about how large the droprate adjustment is. Does it cover the number of Nestors produced through LP store or not. So, I posted just to note that they have to make the LP store utterly meaningless if they do want to make the price drop a lot.

I apprecatie yall (Rise, Fozzie and the rest) not wanting to screw anything up to bad by makign an overpower battleship.

But c'mon, the Nestor sucks, and that's a shame because some of us were looking forward to playing with an SOE Battleship. So go wild guys, make it good even if that risks making it OP. You're CCP, you know how to come back and nerf things into oblivion if that happens, you've done it every week for the last 11 years

And considering you can bring them into C2+, this is a unique usage of them.

And every domi is now both a spider domi and a blaster domi until one or the other is needed on every ship, and everyone has fully committed.

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

Give it 8/8/8 slots while your at it, and ofc stronger gun/drone bonuses.

Or leave it w/o cov ops cloak so you dont have to nerf it back to the stone age

Screw the covops, just the jump drive or GTFO.

Are you even trying, CCP?

The Nestor is still going to be a piece of ****. You tried to do too much with it, including shoehorning it into roles that don't make sense (exploration).
