  info: 'This was one of the first vessels the Sisters of EVE made available to capsuleers.
    It had been under development by the Sanctuary corporation, whose interest in
    exploration includes not only search & rescue operations but also a constant inquiry
    into the nature of the EVE Gate. Thanks to the Sisters'' efforts and the Sanctuary''s
    particular expertise, the Nestor is an agile, tenacious ship that aptly adheres
    to the mantra of both rescuers and explorers: Stay safe, stay hidden, and use
    every tool at your disposal.


    It is particularly adept at venturing into dangerous territories, not merely in
    recovering whatever may be of interest but also in being able to safely bring
    it back. Its engines have alternate power sources that come into play should any
    of its cargo - for which it has plenty of room - cause serious interference with
    internal systems. Its weaponry runs best on renewable sources, an ideal for a
    ship that doesn''t know how long it''ll be in deep space. Its carapace is extremely
    well armored for a ship this agile, and covered in sensors capable of letting
    its crew track a myriad of different organic signatures. The crew itself is safely
    protected from any number of transmittable ailments from rescues and other unexpected
    passengers, thanks to special quarantine bays that are conveniently located near
    jettisonable openings.


    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. The effort was not without benefit though,
    as part of their work focused on reducing the Nestor''s mass enough that it could
    make its way into unexplored territories that might''ve been hazardous to bulkier
    vessels. This paid off by affording the Nestor unmatched access to wormhole space,
    and meant that the embedded miniature rescue vessel on the ship''s hull could
    be relegated to a decommissioned role. 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.'

## Summary

</div>
The Nestor is the battleship for the Sisters of EVE faction, introduced in Rubicon 1.1. It has the largest drone bay of all subcapital ships and gets bonuses to drone damage and armor resists depending on Gallente Battleship and Amarr Battleship skills, respectively. Its role bonuses allow it to be fitted for a variety of tasks ranging from PvE mission running to small spider-repairing gangs (also usually in a PvE context) to wormhole exploration. Also, it is the only battleship-sized platform with remote armor repairer effectiveness bonuses, giving it a niche as a PvP fleet logistics battleship. Due to the remote armor repair bonuses, the Nestor sees frequent use in Incursions as a durable logistics platform.

The Nestor has an additional two features that make it stand out from other pirate faction battleships- its low mass (about 20% that of a regular battleship's), alongside its Ship Maintenance Bay providing the ability to be used as a mobile depot by other fleet members. Its low mass gives it a very good mass:EHP and mass:DPS ratio, important in wormhole space where certain wormholes can only accept ships up to a certain size, and wormholes are limited in the amount of mass they can allow through before they collapse.

The Nestor has the lowest base max velocity among all battleships, as its low mass allowing it gets very high velocity bonuses from afterburners or microwarpdrives.

## Skills

</div>
 Amarr Battleship to at least IV to take advantage of the Armor Resistance Buff that comes with every extra level in the skill, and Gallente Battleship to at least IV to take advantage of the drone damage buff that comes with every extra level in the skill.
 Along with the requisite Engineering and Electronic Systems skills required for adequately fitting most ships. Weapon Upgrades should be trained to IV to allow the use of Tech 2 Drone Damage Amplifiers.
 Drones V, Drone Interfacing IV, Drone Sharpshooting IV, Heavy Drone Operation V and Gallente Drone Specialization IV/Minmatar Drone Specialization IV are all are important to field T2 Heavy and Sentry Drones in order to get as much DPS out of the 125mb drone bandwidth as possible.
 Hull Upgrades should be trained to level V to allow use of the T2 Armor modules.
 Capacitor Systems Operation IV and Capacitor Management IV, so you have enough Capacitor to run your reps.
 Remote Armor Repair Systems IV reduces the capacitor needed to run armor reps, and allows you to fit T2 medium and large reps.
