Wasn't crucifixion ended around 2000 light years ago?



Crucifixion ended? lulz

Now that is a comment I wont forget for a long time!! Seriously... Thank you!!!

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.

It's a quaint little ship, not something I'd fly often. It does have it's niche place and use though.

Maybe it's like a tricycle for little Jovian tykes to learn to fly.

the Gnosis, as a SoCT ship, is a heavily nerfed version of jove tech. that way they can release it to the public without accidentally the universe as we know it.

I'm fairly sure it used to have "Jovian Battlecruiser" tagged to it despite it saying it was built by SoCT so maybe that's where the confusion came from.

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



Huh, are you saying Zak is wrong?

A light year is a unit of distance, not time.


people are know to measure progress with unit of distances, i think it come form the term "far"

…and those who use “quantum leap” to signify a massive change.



well, it could be ... I'd consider a "leap" into a woman's body to be a "massive change". Blink

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

You guys have seriously dumb expectations of Jovian technology. The Jove are the tech 2 race, the capsuleer race (do you guys even remember where t2 came from??). Other than in a few specific areas pod pilots are at an equivelent tech level to the Jove already and with the advent of t3 are probably beyond them in certain areas.

Take the much lauded battle of Vak'Atioth. It took the Jove fleet 6 hours to destroy 200 pre-capsuleer amarr empire subcaps despite knowing in advance when and where the amarr were coming and refitting their supercap to face them (tracking titan ftw). This is an amarrian fleet from a time before ships like the omen and executioner were even invented, never mind t2 ships. The Jove fleet meanwhile had interceptors/assault ships, sniper hacs and a tracking titan (when the amarr had no caps at all). How many amarr empire npcs do you think a capsuleer fleet of sniperhacs/t2 frig wolfpack backed by tracking titan would destroy in 6 hours? Seriously you try facing scorch with t1 lasers (the amazing jovian lasers are probably just t2 crystals).

Jove tech is better than capsuleer tech, but not by much and the superiority probably even then is down to t2 capsuleer tech being based on t1 pre-capsuleer foundations. Given the angels ships are based on jove tech simply imagining a t2 (8/8/8) laser machariel is probably closest to what a proper Eidolon is like. Pretty damn awesome but not wtfbbq invincible.

Stuff like polaris is no more an example of jove tech than concord is of DED. They are like that because of game mechanics, nothing else.

As for the gnosis it is based on a jovian battlecruiser but with anything hawt ripped out when operating for SoCT as the Jove don't want any more of their tech getting out. T2ify the gnosis and you would pretty much have what a jovian cruiser would be like.
