Love it for the looks. It won't replace my exploration Tengu which can find and run sites quite adequately.

does it have mining boosts? Why not?

I can't wait for the production version. I'm thinking there will be one.

As a matter of fact, I get this gut-feeling that we're going to see SEVERAL iconic Jove hulls showing up in a future SoCT LP store.

I imagine in the long run it will be populated through relatively rare low sec / null sec BPC drops.


You forgot to include this option.

d. None of the above.



Oh cool. I get one?

I like the idea behind this ship. Sort of a Swiss Army knife. Very different from the specialization of the other Eve ships.

I just wish it weren't so damned artsy-fartsy. I get it, it looks like a sextant, its a metaphor for exploration, but did we have to get bashed over the head with it?

Anyone not want theirs? Feel free to contract me any of the following: Gnosis, Fireworks, Implants, special edition Magnate. Ill gladly take them off your hands...

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

They must have been really planning ahead then... it's been in game since day 1.

I find the Gnosis to be a mediocre ship at best. Because it doesn't specialize in anything it can't really do anything well. I tried a shield fit and an armor fit. Both of which were "Meh" at best. There are better battlecruisers out there.

And just think, this "specilaize in nothing, but be able to be fit for everything" mentality is going to be CCP's approach to the T3 line.

Good God it's a missile and drone boat.


As for not being a specialist ship, well, no exploration ship has ever been one, so this is the opposite case. For exploration you have to take a ship that specializes, and then use it for exploration, which it was not made for.

This is a ship that's not specialized. So in a way, they designed it for exploration, indirectly.

People are saying that it's over powered. It's not OP. I've been messing with it on Sisi and here's what I think: Yes it is very versatile. 6/6/6 slot layout pretty much means you can fit it to be anything you want... but that's a lot of slots for a T1 cruiser and you will pay in CPU... you won't be able to fit high powered mods across the board in your mids and lows. The resists are omni for both shield and armor, so there is no one weakness you can exploit. However, the resists are very low. It's pretty easy to bring a T1 cruiser up to 70% omni resists even with marginal skills, if you are so inclined. You'll find on the Gnosis it's virtually impossible. Here's what I think the Gnosis is: It's a ship that anyone can fly, but only a pilot with maxed out exploration, shield, armor, drone, and weapons skills will be able to fly it as it is meant to be flown. The Gnosis is a lowsec exploration ship, pure and simple. It can find radar/mag/ladar/etc... signatures and then run the anomaly in any part of lowsec space. It is NOT a wtfpwn machine. A dedicated T1 PvP ship will kill it if the Gnosis is fit to role. If a Gnosis is fit for PvP it's low resists, low speed, and ho-hum DPS will get it killed. The only way a Gnosis can be effective in PvP is if the pilot is maxed in all his PvP cruiser skills AND is very experienced in using different tactics (kite/ew/snipe/drone/brawlers/neut/etc...). The Gnosis is a maintenance ship... it has 75m3 drone bay (awkward!), lots of mids, and lots of lows. It can fit for a wide variety of tactics. You won't know what you are up against when you fight one... but like I said if that pilot isn't an expert you will probably kill it. I for one am not good enough at PvP to fly a Gnosis, despite the fact that I have the skills maxed. I predict there will be a LOT of Gnosis killed in the days following it's release due to overconfident pilots thinking they know what to do with this thing. It's strength is in it's utility. In a game of hyper-specialization, that's going to be counter-intuitive to a lot of people.

What do you think? Anyone else play with fits on sisi?

Edit: Gnosis is this: http://evenews24.com/2013/01/19/show-case-gnosis-battlecruiser/
Probably coming for EvE's 10th anniversary


Low resists? Low dps? Have you, perhaps, been taking drugs? OR your skills are so poor, it's made of crap?

The Gnosis has near-hac resists and can reach 1,100 dps quite readily. It can tank and dish out damage in multiple variations. You want speed, it equal to the challenge. It's not overconfidence, it's competent fitting and good skills, something perhaps you should learn. Best of all, it's a free ship that is not useless like the rest we have gotten.

That said, please for the love of god, paragraphs are your friend.

Its bound to be removed!

It upsets the balance!

Overpowered!


All that aside I love the ship and the options it brings but i am sure it will be recalled by CCP!
