The point that it is one of the best RR-doctrine ships is reason enough not to allow it a Covert Cloak.

I mean, what’s this **stupid** discussion even about? Some guy who has barely any experience in PvP complaining about “stats” issues so he can’t fit a Sniper-Kite-Beam-Laser Nestor that also apply dronedamage to 150km. Wtf? Nestor’s are the SoE’s fleet support ships and they fit their role pretty nice in WH space.

- you can squeeze **5 (!!!) of them through a hole** compared to the mass of one other combat battleship
- each of them provide **twice** the RR-power of a full-skilled Guardian
- while also having **2-3 times the Armor Buffer** of a Guardian (which often cannot benefit so much from it’s small signature/speed because in these fights massive amounts of Web and/or Paints are present)
- being **MUCH more neutralizer-resistant** than Guardians
  - 2 Cap batteries=44% neut resistance vs. usually 0% neut resistance on a Guardian (AB+Sensorbooster or DualSensorbooster is standard fit)
  - ~13k total cap (~24k effective cap after resist) vs. 2.8k cap on a Guardian
  - being able to come in a HeavyCapbooster fit using 3200er charges _forever_ if the fleet is clever enough to re-supply it in-fight by just dropping more boosters should one Nestor come under threat of being neuted dry
  - being able to also come in Cap-Chain fits like the Guardian to provide even more cap-warfare stability and support other ships that are neutralized

- offering **50% higher base ECM resist** (Sensor Strenght) from the getgo than a Guardian (36 Nestor, 22.8 Guardian without Sebo, the Guardian needs an ECCM scripted Sebo Running to surpass the Nestor with 44 Strength)
- and providing the firepower of a **full set of Sentries/Heavies**
- and having an **aligntime after jump** that enables it to keep up with any T3, HAC or BS doctrine
- and offering a freaking **RefittingService ON FIELD** without the need of Mobile Depots

This freakin’ ship is _godlike_. If it would be any better it would be borderline OP. It doesn’t need more PG or anything else, simply because you would never fit a full rack of Lasers on it, not even talking about BeamLasers. Even if you just use them in a small gang of only 3-5 Nestors for Ninjafarming, half of the HighSlots would be RRs and then MAYBE some DualHeavy Pulses for some additional punch.
