Player Features and Ideas Discussion

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!

this is just ridiculous.....

i mean come on ..... talk about breaking things .. square pegs round holes .... its mass was already very low ... its now basically a triple plated harbinger ... you can't possibly tell me this makes sense???

I appreciate all of your work Fozzie, I really do. I just feel that with the Nestor you're still just dancing around the issue with your eyes closed.

I am getting the impression that your hands might be a little tied when it comes to this ship as it appears you want to keep this role or you're being told to keep it. Most of the community are asking for a rethink of the ships role and to move away from the "jack of all trades" design. I am in that group myself.

I do believe that this ship should be the T1 BLOPs ship and should lose the RR abilities. What this ship is trying to do is too much in one hull and it shows. I think it would be amazing if the ship retained it's SMA though as that could be it's "quirk" in the BLOPs set.

You could create a BC that could be the RR support ship within this line up and even toy with the idea of it being covert. It wouldn't have more offensive capabilites than a Stratios, it would simply just have more tank, capacitor and sensor strength and be slower. So a covert BC with RR abilities wouldn't be a big deal. A BC also has the better lock time and has enough mobility to do the job.

I would also like you to consider doubling the range of ALL remote rep/cap transfer modules and halving the bonuses on the ships that have range bonuses. Currently using RR mods on anything without a range bonus is painful. This way you could at least drop one of the bonuses of the Nestor

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.

Every legitimate player-controlled use of a ship is a balance point. Highsec use is just as valid as any other use.

I definately see potential

Looking back at the logistic-capabilities oft the Nestor: How about changing the Bonus from Remot Armor Repair to remote Armor and Shield repair? Also a bonus to reduce the Cap-Usage of said Repair Modules so you don´t get so much problems with cap while using it, while still having a Cap-Problem when using other Modules (like Lasers or eWar).
With this the Nestor could be a viable BS-Logistic Ship with a Drone-Damage-Support

With inertia that high, aren't we looking at align times of upwards of 32.75s with MWD running (and that with all skills V, and before you start adding plates)? I like that the mass is being driven way down to (at least in theory) narrow the T3 mass advantage, but I'm a bit concerned that the high inertia cripples combat maneuverability.

Removed a double post.
