That there is one fugly ship. I won't fly it, ever. It could be given the best stats in the game, but I still wouldn't fly it.


**** you it's awesome.

The front looks like a big mean engine block or something with angelic wings to fly on.

It's majestic as all hell.

my thoughts from playing with it on sisi is:

reduce to 4 turret/missile high slots (this will give me two utility slots one for a probe launcher one for a cloak)

increase drone mb to 75 (to make up for dps loss of 5th turret/missile)

increase drone bay to 150 (to give it done utility)

increase base cpu to 500 (it has problems fitting HML with a probe launcher and shield tank with damage mod)

from its bonus its the most versatile ship in the game now... and i like having a clean slate for a ship it can be fit how ever you like which means its unpredictable... i really hope they make this a full production ship that you can get via soct missions...


I can't say I agree. Like I said, as far as I can tell it's one strength is it's utility. If you want 2 utility slots just don't fit a 5th launcher. If you increase the drone BW or bay anymore you are making it into a powerful drone boat. If you increase the CPU people won't have to make the tough decisions on their fit they have to now. What I think is cool about the Gnosis is that it really can't be fit to specialize well. You'll need to have a little jam, a little disrupt, a little damp, a little web, a little nos, and a rainbow bag of drones. It's not a one tactic machine... it's a grab bag. If you fit to do a lot of things you'll have a real chance of finding a hole in your opponent's defense. If you try to specialize you'll die real fast. I think that's the best way to bring Jove tec to the players. Don't make them über... make them versatile and challenging to fit. It's a vet machine not because of the base requirements, but because it takes real skill and experience to fit AND fly. Maybe we'll see more classes of SoCT ship if CCP agrees with what I'm talking about.

I agree though... I hope they make it something you can get in SoCT missions. atm I bet they are planning a one-time shot of these though...

The ship will go to:

a. Everyone who has an account on the 10th anniversary.
b. Only people who attend Fanfest.
c. Only to people who are part of Test and goons.

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.

Rethink the design and allow it to fit one t3 subsystem to have it more specialized in one role.

Change the hull :D

Would be nice if specialty ships were better than a Tengu in their speciality.

Wrong forum for discussion of test server content.

So no, really don't care what you think of in-testing content.

Would prefer a special edition BPO for it rather than just the ship being gifted (10th anniversary gift seems likely).

New ship. You can fly it on SiSi (test server) now
LOL if if it came to Tran server in its current state, it would shame the current T3 BCs

The word gnosis means knowledge or mystery, depending on how you look at it. Seems to fit as the pilot who flies it will need knowledge , sp and tactical skills and to those who engage one it will be a mystery :) yes a vet ship,
