Space magic.

Seriously, it's a videogame, why do you even care?

especially why Angel Cartel use some Jove technology but haven't built ships as light as Nestor? they also target to build a high speed vessel.

Because they stripped out nearly all reasonable functionality of the ship, instead putting in a mish mash of features that don't work cohesively together making it a worse choice than a more functional ship in nearly every single case. A few niche applications are all that are valid.
So the exclusion of decent function is how they got it so light.

Dude, devs are worse than hookers. Hookers usually charge and do what you tell them to do, devs charge too, don't do what you ask them to do but promise they will keep doing things better in the future. You really want a dev to talk to you?

It's because the Nestor is an illusion. Everything it does is a function of the imagination of the players on grid.

It's only repping that ship because you think it's repping that ship...

The Sanctuary corporation poured uncountable resources into making the cloaking technology developed for the Stratios fit the Nestor but were eventually forced to concede that it was impossible. The effort was not without benefit though, as part of their work focused on reducing the Nestor's mass enough that it could make its way into unexplored territories that might've been hazardous to bulkier vessels.
