Con:

- Smaller scanning bonus

With 6 medium slots you can put one or 2 more Scan Rangefinding Array II, than in covertops. So you can have bigger scan strength then amarr or minmatar cover ops. Or almost the same scaner strength as caldary or gallentian ones...

If I am right, then alignment time depends on the inertia modifier * mass of the vessel. Cover ops has it from 5 mio to 5,5 mio. Gnosis little over 3 mio. So it aligns almost twice as quick. Not speaking about 6 low slots, that can be filled with nanos to make it even better.

But with the rest you are absolutely right and this is more than enough reasons for me to stay in high sec, if I use Gnosis. And I use it, cause no other explorers ship can offer such combat capabilities, if I get bored by signatures.


inertia modifier also has to take the mass of the ship into account. The Gnosis is several hundred times more massive than a covops so will definitely align slower.

Additionally, you want to fill up 900m3 of loot from Low and Null exploration sites? Talk about a Pinata....the cargo is actually a BIG con because it makes you think you can do romanticized "extended exploration operations"...but what it really does is just make your killmail even more expensive.
