All u ppl out there that keep flying a Gnosis in fleets. Do u still get primaried no matter what (within reson ofc)? I feel like they are affordable atm and they would be really fun to fly on a regular basis.

Best tactic nowadays is to run as a bait primary. Pretty much everyone sees it as a valuable ship, especially among other T1's. Just buffer the Hell out of it, pure tank, depending on your logi in fleet. If you had to run with armor, throw some EWAR in the mids (damps and TD's = easy mode). If you run with shields, just throw all the damages in the low with no consideration of repercussion.

I think it might have more to do with the DPS potentcial it has. With good drone skills + other T2 weapons 500 dps is not that hard to achieve.

Add the fact that it is rather slow and bulky, it is easy to catch.

Been flying it for couple of days and I must say, this is my new fav ship now. The bonuses on this ship is way better then any other T1 battle cruisers. And yes if I see any of them in enemy fleet, I will surely make them primary just because they are too deadly if flown by good pilots.

Currently, all that are out there are the gift hulls.

Five-run bpc are coming out in the collectors edition.

I have an alt in null, and all the fc's will switch to primary the gnosis.
The less of them there are, the more valuable they become.

the dps potential is has to be below average? when all the other bc's are pushing well over 500dps most settling on 800 dps?

Probably only for lower sp pilots. Also the fact that this has no resist hole

Have you flown one?

It does well over 600 dps, and aligns as fast or faster than other bc's.

NO. I have succesfully fit a gnosis with a 100mn MWD... the gnosis is not slow
