Or you could just jam them, like you break all logi chains. They aren't particularly fast, so they won't be running away in any hurry. Armor platforms make terrible kiters, yet it still has a range bonus to guns. Other faction battleships go well over the 1k mark in DPS, so that's no accomplishments.


You do realize that these ships are also 'drone boats' right? Which means that - yes, indeed. You can jam them - woopdedoo. They can concentrate drones onto ECM support.

You know as well as I do that jammed drone ships don't get to choose their targets, and you vastly oversold the Nestor's buffer tank, which is adequate, but far from impressive.

a nestor isnt better than a logi ship at repping. but it can do a ton of other things a logi ship cant even think about, and it is INSANELY tanky. it also has great utility with its reffiting capabilities and it has a ton of slots meaning you can do almost anything with it. especially in shorter range WH brawls their low mass and high tank makes them a great addition to a fleet.

you should carry spare reps, cap transfers, NOSes and neuts in your cargo. you can carry an entire refit with you and if theres another nestor with you you'll only need the depot for emergencies. with HG slaves and legion boosts, this thing has a monstrous 445k EHP with heated hardeners. that is ******* ridiculous and no logi will get even close to that number. it also deals 500 dps, can point, web, has a MJD, MWD, ECCM, cap booster, neuts and plenty of reps. if you chain up with another nestor your cap will last a long time and you can refit to more cap transfers if necessary.

this is of course also far more expensive than t2 logi, but since the hull alone costs a billion price shouldnt really be an issue

The nestor is fine.

168k EHP and higher, over 2k DPS local tank, damn near impossible probe down, cap stable while running local rep and remote reps, over 500 dps.
What's wrong with it?

nestor is the most powerfull subcap repper on top of all the things you mentioned. In pure aubcap warfare, its a beast. Its a great flagship for spider domis since you can refit off it. Its role might be nice, but its damn powerfull in that role

Shame that a ship that's thematically supposed to be about exploration is used as a mobile depot/spider tanker.

The description even dismisses the possibility of it being able to fit a covops cloak, lol

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... With covert function off the table, the Sanctuary turned their eyes on logistics and now the Nestor serves as one of the best support platforms in New Eden.

Yes, if that isn't the nail in the coffin...

you stick them in your super and pop it out when you need a refit..... think of it as a glorified Mobile Depot
