Reasoning for the 5000 m3 bay? Well, the art does have a shuttle bay on it

That's nice but what in the world can I do with a 5k SMA ? Put a shuttle in it? What else?

Is Ship Maintenance Bay a typo for Fleet Hangar? A 5000m3 SMB makes no sense as you can't fit any ships in it (well, a single shuttle).

*cough* senty drones and ishtar/dominix *cough*

I _really_ want to be able, to use the Nestor but even with these changes i'm not sure for what it excels at.

The refitting in space would be awesome if we didn't have a mobile depot. - (U)nfortunaly we do, so this does not warrant the price tag, nor det limited use.

Other than that, it does not excel in anything in particular. It's to expensive for pvp, and there are other alternatives for doing pve.

(Dominix, Rattlesnake just to name a few.. all way cheaper)


The only thing that could make this ship usefull, is its RR platform. However it's still way cheaper just to use a logistic.

Giving it a covert cloak would definitely be to overpowered, though extremely cool(and might give it some use for exploration)
If it had jump capabilities, it would instantly become very usefull and actually worth the price tag(It gives it relativel safety)



+ for giving it a jump capability.

I have serious concerns about the retting capability when used in high sec wars.

You've just made station camping, and undock tomfoolery even less risky for griefers than it already was.

I'm glad that you're aware that the Nestor isn't particularly useful. Probably not enough as far as changes go to make it viable, but at least it might have a niche use or two other than station games.

Any plan to address the battleship class as a whole? How about CBCs? What was the verdict on the Tempest?

Enjoy the change, will make them slightly more useful and less vulnerable to dread blaps.

Mass on them is fine for WHs

Would be really nice:

Hacking role bonus -> something useful (Cap reduction on energy or armor transfers perhaps?)
Base sensor strength 24 -> 28-30
+1 low slot or if the slot layout is too good then, -1 mid, +1 low.

Then I will fly it forever.

5,000 m3 ? is this a typo or did you mean a fleet hangar?

I can see a 50,000m3 SMA or maybe a 5,000 m3 fleet hangar but a 5,000 m3 SMA seems unique :-)

edit: or is the only way to make a ship have a "fitting service" is to provide at least a trivially small SMA ?


Aquamo

Maybe its strength is just that... its a swiss army knife that can work in a pinch to fill many different roles when you're not in a larger fleet or in a position to reship easily. But obviously has being able to do all those things has to have the trade-off of not being able to do everything as well as or better than a specialized ship.

My only real fault with the Nestor but its too expensive to fly regularly and get blown up. I'd rather welp a carrier for that ISK as it can do all of the things a Nestor can but better (except scanning/hacking with exception to some WH guys). I think increasing the drop rate of its Nexus chips to increase supply and drop prices will be a good thing. +1 Fozzie
