The Fleet

Nestor

_images/Nestor.jpg

Nestors are the backbone of our Daytripping fleets, they provide logistical support, damage (via drones), and refit capability.

The following is the standard nestor fit:

Optimal Range Script x2
Heavy Stasis Grappler II x1
Core Probe Launcher II x1
Improved Cloaking Device II x1
Large EMP Smartbomb II x1

Please ensure that you have everything listed in the cargo. It is only acceptable to substitute these items:

  • Core Probe launcher T1 or Faction (This is more for saving your own ass if things go very wrong)

  • Cloaking device can be whatever you want

  • Large EMP Smartbomb can be Meta or Faction (longer range preferred)

  • Alternate Drone Loadout (See Below)

Please ensure you have the skills to use all other modules and drones.

During the course of a fleet, you may be asked to refit a Heavy Stasis Grappler, or Smartbomb. If asked:

  • Replace the Drone Link Augmentor II with the smartbomb

  • Replace one of the Omnidirectional Tracking Link II with the Heavy Stasis Grappler II

Minimum Skills

In addition to being able to use all modules, the following skills are required to ensure that we can run sites in a timely and safe manner:

Amarr Battleship IV
Gallente Battleship IV

In addition, the below skills are highly encouraged. Don’t let these stop you from running a nestor, but please ensure you are working on training them ASAP on your nestor characters:

Capacitor Emissions System V
Advanced Target Management II

Alternate Drone Loadout

Note

If you have good drone skills, and Ammar + Gallente drone specialization IV, your overall damage output will be 20% higher with the standard loadout.

If desired, the drone layout can be changed to include Geckos, which have the same damage out put as Ogre IIs in combination with medium and light drones. Use the above standard fit, but with this drone loadout:

Gecko x4
Curator II x9
Acolyte II x5
Infiltrator II x5

This drone loadout increases the total cost of the nestor, but has some advantages:

  • Higher damage output against sleepers (~100dps)

  • Somewhat higher average damage output against drifters

  • Allows you to carry extra heavy drones and sentry drones in addition to lights and mediums

During PVE, you will launch the following in order to achieve the highest dps:

2x Geckos
1x Infiltrator II
2x Acolyte II

Eos

The Eos serves as drone bunny as well as providing Armor Links. We run 1 Eos for every 10 Nestors due to drone assist limits.

  • Cloaking device can be T1

Warning

Beware that the Eos doesn’t have the same probing bonus as the Nestor, so if you have bad scanning skills you may struggle to probe yourself out of wormholes with T1 Probes if you get stuck.
