A Genosis [sic] is very cool looking.

It's spelled "Gnosis," which is a Greek word meaning "knowledge" and not "Genosis", where the root "gen" (also Greek) would imply creation, birth, or origin.

Naming it the Gnosis is CCP's hint that it's really intended to be a platform for exploration (even less surprising that it's being introduced with an expansion focusing largely on exploration). It's bonused for all weapon types, has balanced resistances (which would be useful against the Sleepers in wormholes, which do omni damage), balanced slot layouts for tanking and utility mods alike.


Holy solar flares Batman, that was so cosmicly radiating it almost left skid marks in my underwear.

The ship is only worth what people will pay for it, it's not an arbitrary 50mil

Very little in eve is a fixed price, I think even skill books prices vary with demand, so if everybody decided to sell their gnosis or whatever it's called on the first day of issue then the price will collapse until the speculators have their fill and stockpile them for a while, then they will develop some value as people will be prepared to pay a bit more for them as they might have lost theirs, and want a new one.


And has it been confirmed that every account ever gets one, or is it like the last few gifts, you've got to claim them and if you don't within a certain period then the offer is removed.
