Any of their ships are supposed to ROFLstomp our ships, and yet the Gnosis isn't really that powerful.
Its powerful and versatile yes, but light years ahead of the empires? No.

Is this like an old model?
Because if this ship is the average Jovian ship, then the empires could take them down with just sheer numbers.

Gnosis is SoCT, not Jove.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I saw someone say its Jovian.
So he lied then?

They're propably just wrong. SoCT as an organization has a Jovian connection, so some people try to streach that minor link to mean the ships they manufacture are Jovian ships.

People, which use "light year" as a unit of "time", should be crucified.

No, their rookie ship is a station.

Probably because it says "Jove" in the Ship-Preview window. CCP should perhaps change that.

Totally agree its not jovian at all, just uses some general ideas from Jovies or most likely "jovian starship philosophy" but not their advenced technology.

humouristic approach:
- It's jovian medium drone remade by SoCT to be manned craft Cool

People who are bad at idioms shouldn't make statements like you just did, because other people's grasp on language might turn out to be miles ahead of their own

The Gnosis is a Battlecruiser that a total newbie can fly without even having the BattleCruiser skill.

It's so HI-TECH it only has 'stop' 'go' & 'SHOOT ZE CANNONS' butans..............

Seems pretty advanced to me

I have deliberately developed an air of cynicism that I originally intended to make me appear somewhat louche and caddish but actually comes across as irritable hostility combined with the unspoken threat of sudden violence.....

It has stats?

I took one look at the price tag and sold it. Equivalent of £5 didn't go amiss, and knocked my alt's next sub payment back beyond payday.

Can't resist the Pokemon quote here.

"You're light years away from facing Brock!"

*gets ass kicked*

"Light years isn't time! It measure distance!"

"Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
