Eh... just like genolutions? Like when they became popular and then where getting scarce suddenly genolutions for everyone? I really pity anyone who had stocked them up, and I'm glad I didn't and certainly won't be stockign any "unique" items in the future because ccp might just decide to make more.



Idk if that's true (not gonna bother to check) but if it is then yes there are untold stocks of those ships in the hangars of players that didn't bother to sell them and they will take a loooong time to rise.

Currently their price is in line with t1 bcs which is about as much as it's worth for pvp - a mediocre bc that can be shoehorned into pretty much any doctrine for players that lack specific skills. If they ever become scarce people will simply stop using them for pvp, t2 or faction bcs would be much better if the gnosis had the same price.

TLDR mediocre pvp ship, untold amounts exist, ccp might just decide to seed more, bad long term investment.

Yeah, well, when the famous words "we want everyone to have a rare ship", or something similar thereto, you had to appreciate the truly epic fail within those words.

However, at least we'll see what the base mineral cost of a Gnosis is when those BPC's begin to enter the game -- both through the CE and quite likely as an Xmas gift, and/or as an addition to seeded loot.

It's a really good noob ship. Not to be confused with a really good Alt ship. As such it doesn't really do well in EVE.

Sarum Magnate.

The wormhole exploration ship, got that as a Christmas gift. Faction pos gear.

What would you pay to bypass training of battlecruiser V from the very beginning of a day one alt?

Gnosis speeds your access to some stuff by approximately one month. It has plenty of intrinsic value. The only thing that keeps the price down is the overflowing supply and lack of gnosis usage/explosions.

Compare it to cerebral accelerators. They speed your access to stuff by a week and cost 150-200m a piece due to relative lack of supply. Before the introduction of them through steam, the price was at 300M range and they sold quick.

Gnosis is a good long term investment but not worth it if you want liquidity.

5 run copy blueprint pretty much will undo anything special about the ship in itself.

Yes you will be able to fly the thing asap...but, you will still need the support skills to fit it.
By the time you have the skills to be successful, there will be a Drake or Cane around the corner to take it's place.



But, that's just my opinion, I might be missing out on a bigger picture or something

There are no "limited" edition ships, all the non-buildable ships are special edition. As far as I can tell CCP has never said "there are only this many of this ship and we will never introduce more" Some people claim AT ships will never be re-introduced, but I would not be surprised to see them re-issued for later ATs.

cry me a river.
