A crack developed and a name blew in
Billy gnosis, weak and thin
He moved to california to start a new life
Because back in his hometown he just killed his wife

Oh billy cant remember his name
Billy gnosis was going insane
And soaked in blue light he played and played
I can still hear the sound he made...

Billy burned his phone and blew up his car
He sat and watched tv and played the guitar
And read a book that made his head spin
How could he have known that there were worms within?
And the worms ate into his brain
Through his eyes and through his ears they came
They made a home so they could multiply
And feed on billys chemicals in paradise.

I've been playing since January and it's only now that I feel anywhere remotely comfortable using it. By comfortable I mean that I'm not just going die a quick and firery death because I don't have the support skills to fly it well. Yeah sure I could have flown it several months ago as an even newer newb (if we had it back then) but I wouldn't have because I would have been pretty useless at doing much with it. There's no way I would have survived the two attempted ganks in low sec yesterday if I was really new newb.

As others have said it's a limited edition meant to go with the exploration theme of the expansion. It makes sense in that context. This past week I've found it a great all in one exploration vessel at least for HS and quieter LS areas. I'm having a lot of fun in it and its serving that purpose quite well. I have 4, from character gifts. One got blown up due to a rather inconvenient power failure which leaves 2 more for use. One will stay in a ship collection hanger.

I think of it as a fun, temporary ship to use while quantities last and as I skill into a cov-ops explorer. It isn't meant to be a ship that fits in with permanent design lines because they will be used less and less over time as they get blown to bits. It was designed that way from the get go.

Oh and it is rather fun flying around knowing that when some people see "Gnosis" they just want to blow it up because "Hey Gnosis" no matter what security space you're in. It adds some unique tension and makes surviving an attack way more satisfying.

I think they're great.

"Hey Gnosis"


Hey Gnosis, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Gnosis, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

Well, i'm a complete noob and i took mine out and quickly realized i had no business being in one, and quite frankly was pretty useless in my hands. So i sold it so i have some spending cash. lol.

Not only that i don't find it a very attractive ship. Maybe that's just me tho.


I thought it looked good in some preview screenshots, but then I got in mine and spun it around the station a few times and quickly lost interest. not an attractive ship indeed.

That's a Cap Stable, dual rep Noob fit.

It could be flown by any Noob in a day or 2 and would get them through any agent grind to level 3 missions.

By EVE elitist standards it's a 'horrible fit'. By 'I'm new and want to try stuff out' standards, it allows for an effective use of a ship you really shouldn't be in, very early in your EVE career. Just keep it in High sec and don't get baited in to PvP.

The Gnosis is like a shamwow, it may seems like a good idea but once you use it you realize it's really just a gimmick and other things do the same job only better.

In short; it's a hangar decoration (for me at least) Arrow

Is this a ploy to keep new character and account numbers rising? Power of two had a ridiculous effect on the sales numbers, making eve look like a rapidly growing game. Will every paying newbie get a bonus gnosis later on? Greed is good, but don't let it kill the purity of the economic warfare and the sandbox.


I think you are serious.

What day old account is going to even have a full flight of drones to undock and be able to fit it to be anything but a lossmail?

Just because there are a lot of shiny bonuses on the hull does not mean that the ship is magical and grants untrained skills.


To be fair its a bonus to all guns and missiles you can fit and it has the mobility of a thrasher with out the top end speed. It actually work really really really really well in the hands of a nublet. They are increadly hard to gank if you actually tank them with even meta 1 modules. I know thats what my alt has been using to make start up monies. Though now im probably gonig to sel it now that ive dropped into faction wars.

(by increadible hard to gank i mean by that one or two random people trying to blow you up not the gank squard with 10 tornados..)
