God's own AHAC - intentional?

The fact that the Gnosis is so adaptable means that it is in fact ridiculously good. A decent armour tank with a DCU can combine hull and armour to give a good fifty thousand effective hitpoints in defence. Added to the uniform resists across the board makes this a really tough ship. Combined with the multitude of medslots, this is a really nice ship to fly - I wouldn't go so far as to say it's OP, but is it actually even coming close to being considered for release? It seems too good to be true.

I've been able to repeatedly shred the Gnosis in single combat in multiple other battlecruisers.

It's adaptable, yes, which is definitely a strong point, but CCP has actually succeeded in making the Gnosis... Reasonable.

Somehow i got the feeling ccp will give us this ship as a gift when eve celebrates its 10th birthday, when eve turned 5 we recieved the apoteosis, a SOCT shuttle, while this ship is also a SOCT ship, and it does not have any skill requirements.

True! The real mystery is the pirate rookie ships...

It's a great ship I agree, what's even more cool about it is CCP finely tuned it so well it's not OP...looking forward to the rest of tericide Twisted

With my skills I get 605 dps before heat, and ~67k ehp. Its resists are above 66% on every type on both shield and armor buffer.

If I compare it to my HAM drake, it does more dps (+) especially on non-kinetic damage types (+) but comes short about 10k ehp (-). It's also a bit slower, but then again it has that double web (++)!

Wouldn't call it an AHAC tho. It's a brick.
I know people will frown on the dual tank, but I think this case is a valid exception to the rule.

its already hinted on various channels (twitter, Facebook, etc) that its a limited issue ship, don't try to balance it, scarcity will balance it.
