If a Nestor could bridge and jump to covert cynos, as well as had a ship maintenance bay of say 100K M3 in order to replace losses of ships, it would be adequate to function as a base ship on long-term PvE expeditions to far parts of nullsec.

Does anyone think this would be worth pushing for?

I'd be in favor of it being more of a blops than a logi BS.....so +1 there for sure :)

However I wouldn't be in favor of expanding the maintenance bay. The reason it's there is not for storage, but rather so that people can re-fit on the Nestor while in space.

There is literally a "Fix the Nestor" thread in the middle of the first page.


Now I have some some terribad at searching, but even most people can manage not to post a thread when there is an identical established thread in the middle of the front page.

It's not ******* rocket science.

with the rep power and sma of the nestor giving it the ability to jump and bridge would be way to strong

also there is a thread about the nestor still on the first page reported for redundancy


EDIT: damn you beat me to it

As I was the first person to post a comment about your inability to search, it's not redundant.

Now posts after the first regarding redundancy would be redundant, but since the first ISD attention to the post is going to involve locking it for redundancy, I'm not too terribly worried.

The Nestor originally had a smaller ship maintenance bay that was increased to 5,000 after it was released. I'm not sure the point of that since there's not many ships you can fit in a 5K ship maintenance bay.

What I was thinking is that the Nestor needs a 5,000 M3 fleet hangar and a 100,000 M3 ship maintenance bay.

The Nestor is too expensive and fragile to ever be considered for PvP. It is a PvE ship. For solo use, it really isn't needed and the logi bonus is superfluous, as the only thing a solo Nestor would use remote rappers for would be to rep its drones, which can easily be done outside of combat sites and therefore does not need to be bonused. The Nestor as it is looks to be a solo ship with a logi bonus for no real reason. Now as a group ship, it could be a great 'base ship' using a 5K fleet hangar to hold loot that it and other ships have acquired as well as allow fleet capability. The logi bonuses could be used to allow smaller ships like Stratios and force recons to be functional in sites they could not normally function in and increase ISK/hr.

The main problem with along range group deployments, though, is that when a ship is lost, it's gone. The Nestor's ability to function as a base ship would be complete if it could hold a few fitted frigs in its hold to replace losses. However, what you get with that situation is a mini carrier that costs nearly as much as a carrier. So giving it the ability to bridge and use covops cynos would give it an ability a carrier doesn't have and make it worthwhile.

Why would a battleship have more cargo space than a hauler?
