Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Well i like the hull ship, but the price (too high) and the hull bonus is bit useless .

(lazer/explo/ RR capacitor)

Have you planned some change ?

And you Eve community what do you think ?



Ty in advance and fly safe !

It has its purpose but its purpose in kinda "meh" ... so the ship is kinda "meh".

That's why it's expensive. If it was as useful as Machariel, it would be farmed as much as Machariel and would be cheaper. Currently barely anyone is bothering to cash it in the LP store because the market is small (and there are better ways to cash in SoE LP).

CCP. Your forum is broken. I click links in GD and end up in obvious F&I threads.

The common opinion I am seeing is that the Astero is the best LP investment for return on investment. An afternoon of SoE lvl 4 missions can get enough LP for one, they seem to hover in price between 70-80 million ISK, and are common enough not to be "oooh look an Astero! Our killboards need the stats! BATPHONE!!!!!" so when you explore in them you don't have every passer-by on the way to something else decide to stop just to scan down the system and whack you.

Lots of Asteros get popped too, so demand is high.

Stratios - quarter million ISK at least and it's a gank magnet but quite capable I see less of them though. Practically a "pocket carrier" too.

(I have built 2 of them and ended up selling them instead of using them because I'd rather have the ISK than someone else have the green on their killboard - do I win at PVP?)


Nestor.... WTF?

There is a long thread somewhere on the Nestor and it's a hard sell. Super expensive. Huge gank magnet for that but lacking the DPS and tanking capability of something that so many would want to pop. Try one in a large fleet and I don't think the FC even has to broadcast it. Is it an exploration ship? Yes. Is it a "logistics battleship"? Yes.
But in order not to compete with logistics ships, it's not the best logistics ship for the money. Might as well save ISK and use a logi.
As for exploration, the Stratios has the DPS and low mass for all of the exploration content (of which most can still be handled with an Astero depending on pilot skills) so it's not even the best exploration ship. Worse: it cannot cloak and an exploration ship that cannot cloak is a target. An exploration ship that costs as much as a Nestor costs is a big fat target.

Players have been begging for some other special capability to justify the cost. Being immune to D-Scan would have been PERFECT for the Nestor since it can't cloak, but that's going to recons. Being interdiction immune would have been perfect for the Nestor but that went to inties.

Thus the capabilities of the Nestor that has no mastery in a specific field fail to justify the cost. It's a ship without a home. Some groups manage to use them in small fleets though, and reports of their capabilities have been good, but not enough players are experimenting with them.

I dunno i and 2 buddies 3 v servered the entirty of singularity in nestors and we lasted a good 15 minutes until the 15 blapdreads showed up...

Nestor is an excellent Logistics boat for Wormhole PvP fleets. For this role nothing needs to change.

Couldn't care less if no one can use it for missioning. Not all battleships need to be made for highsec.

nestor is one of the most useful and powerful ship currently in game ... , omg think essentialy it is a flying heavy tanked mobile depot .... , you can refit your carrier or dread or whatever in vicinity of nestor ... if you dont see usefullness in this come into wh space :) , you will learn quickly why is nestor important

Another topic from 0.0 player who thinks everything has to be about him and every ship has to be for him? get over fact not everythign is for you ... just as capitals cant be used in highsec and blackops arep retty much useless in WH space ...
Just please dont touch nestor ... go cry about barghest or about ishtars ... thats what are you good at ...

you have never seen wormhole fleet, did you?

His post on the nestor clearly shows that he has had limited experiences in Eve....
