Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Please fix Nestor.

My proposal is this:

Remove the energy turret bonus and add 5% extra for drone damage per level = Very unique Drone ship

Then reduce the insane arm rep bonus to 50% and add a jumpdrive max 7ly with no possibility to bridge. That leaves Black Ops ships unique in their own way.

Dont need cov ops cyno.

Thats it..


With this, nestor becomes a nullsec exploration vessel for many many players from highsec. Pilot skills will decide if u will survive in it or not.

The Nestor already is a very unique drone ship - it's a drone ship with no clear purpose and an absurdly high price tag.

If your goal is uniqueness, it's already done. Otherwise, these proposed changes are terrible.

Sounds interesting, but useless for a W-space ship, where you can't light cynos. I agree laser range might not be the most interesting bonus ever, but it has its uses, as does the big repping power.

Nestor is fine. It's the premiere anti-gank and station camper logi vessel. High-sec dream ship.

It excels at those roles just fine, but could perhaps use a bonus to reduction of remote rep capacitor usage.

Did u ever try exploring in a black ops ?
The tank and cap is terrible, but it has its role, bridging and jumping. not battle.

My idea here with Nestor is to give it more unique role. Something that isnt there today. Ability for players with the right wallet and wish to explore in a ship with good drone dps and tank to run around in nullsec with their friend cynoing them around.

It gives nullsec people more visitors to shoot at, and highsec people the opportunity to get around if piloted right.

with 2 pilots running each nestor, they can fit cloak up if a threat arrives. This is down to piloting skills to survive, not the ship itself.

Carriers have their uniqueness in tank size and drones.

Nestor will be a BS with a jumpdrive, agile and fun to operate in nullsec.

Your right, the T3 with nullifed and cloak with mobile depot is doing some of this, but uses stargates. It still have to get through the 0.0--lowsec entry points and further. Also have to get through camps. Nestor with a fixed LY range for jumpdrive set to 7ly which is equivalent to BLOPS at jump drive cal lvl 4 gives a new mechanic to the game.

The ship doesnt need a cloak at all, the t2 improved cloak and prototype is good enough to hide, but this is piloting skills and not panick in situations that arrives inside the solar system.

With added drone dps, and removing the laser bonus, Nestor becomes something we havent seen before. It can still rep its buddy, just within closer range hence take down repping distance from 100% to 50% instead.

I havent seen Nestor in any bigger fleets, to big, too clumpsy and too expencive to sacrifice as a repper. Mabye in Wormholes where C5/C6 sites are done. But nowhere else. We got the great guardians and scimis already.

These proposals will change the solo mechanic, so we get a jump capable ship for very small gangs of people to explore 0.0. Do sites, have fun, and run around. Big enough fuel tank to run back and forth and around. 1400m3 fuel tank or something.

I don't really think there is anything the Nestor would do that another ship can't do better in exploration. A battleship doesn't belong in K-Space data and relic sites. Strategic cruisers are a smaller and faster choice for combat sites.

All the Nestor needs to make it genuinely viable is a Cap Reduction bonus on the reps, probably in favour of those ****** exploration bonuses that nobody cares about.

sure, lets make it a expencive hotdropping fleet.. Im up for that.

Yeah, if HS players go to 0.0 in this they will face challenges. some die, some clever pilots survive in em. then again, mission accomplished. a ship that allow people to do that.

You are not getting a jump drive on it.
