Ships & Modules

The Gnosis is not a bad Battlecruiser. It's buffer tank is pretty standard, example with the common DCU and buffer rigs for 1 LSE and 2 Invulns EHP is 56k or 1 1600 and 2 EANM's EHP is 70k which is pretty average for a BC and that is across the board with no resist weakness which is a unique feature. Her DPS is not bad either with 5 bonused turrets and 5 bonused drones up to mediums with an extra set of lights for Frigs, not great but okay with a full choice of main weapons. Good cap, normal BC speed with Cruiser align time and Scan Res which is unique and welcome. Armor tanked she has a lot of EWAR space, Shield tanked she has a lot of Dmg / Nano room. Great fitting for her slot layout that leaves a lot of room to play around with armor or shield. It has plenty of good quality.

All together the Gnosis's omni ability is unique but her stats make her an average Battlecruiser and those two other Battlecruiser you listed are worse than the Gnosis in certain other area's, which is a common type of criticism, pick one area where a ship is better than use it as an example of why another is bad ignoring everything else. Gnosis isn't terrible, just average, it would not be likely to see much more use than any other if it wasn't so expensive but it would see average use.

That is the only problem with the Gnosis, she is short on numbers and high on cost, that is why I hope she is introduced into full Battlecruiser production, a paint job can be used to keep the current collectors items.

Its OP because you can fit any weapon system to it and it is effective.
You want a missile armor ship. You got it.
Shield Laser ship? You got it
You want to fit 2 projectiles 2 lasers 1 blaster and 1 missile launcher....yeah you can do that too.


It has an equal boost to everything. And a slot layout that begs to be toyed with.

bad idea since you're mixing different engagement ranges and damage increasing low slots will only affect one of those types.

Armor Tanked the Gnosis is seriously lacking in CPU I was having problems fitting it without leaving 3 of the midslots empty and when having less EHP then a Brutix something is wrong, shield tanked the thing is too damn slow to be nano so that leaves it as a brawler which the ferox is king of shield brawling BC's. and I did try to look at al the stats and they just didn't seem to be enough good things about the setups to counteract its bad parts for me. I have not however tried every possible weapons setup I only tried Blaster and AC fits because those are the 2 I am best with.

Yes the being able to fit any weapon system is a nice perk but in no way is that OP and your example of fail fitting the highs, although I do understand what you mean, doesn't exactly complement your argument

it is in the combat battecruiser classification

In my opinion any BC with less EHP then a brutix is not a standard tank.

If only we could to do multiple quotes in same post..........

I'll spot you the limited supply, but that really becomes a cost issue more than an incentive issue. At least until supply from a million alts taper off. Was there a bpc of any kind for these or were they one off ships? I never bothered to look into it and just assumed it was a novelty hanger ornament.

Also imagine the uproar if the gnosis out performed EVERY BC.

Instead a half dozen threads about how one omni hull is only average s&m gets flooded by end of the world threads about every BC on the eve of the skill changes. I'll pass on that.

So? Put a TD on it and or Duel Prop her or what not. It has six mids to the Brutix's four. Get creative, use that utility.

Different strengths. If you are more comfortable in a Brutix use it, the Gnosis isn't meant to replace anything.
