Is it worth getting a Gnosis instead of training Destroyer/Cruiser for L2 and L3 missions? Does anyone have a decent Alpha fit for it? Thanks!
I’ve heard alpha-folk have been satisfied with the gnosis.
I’ve never used one personally, so sorry can’t tell you more.
Train up destroyer / cruiser anyway, you’ll likely use the skills (as necessary prerequsites for other skills if nothing else).

Thanks for the comments.
I’m an Alpha just starting the game. If it seems as though I love the game and continue to play, and pay to become Omega, then I will build up my other skills. I understand, as Alpha, I can only go up to 5 million skill points and I don’t want to waste any, hahaha.
I am trying a fit with medium hybrid turrets, shield tank, and upgrades to drone damage and turret tracking (with damage control 1). I don’t have the skills for more yet. 261 dps seems low for a battle cruiser though. I will upgrade to tech 2 components when I get skills for them.
Anyway, thanks for the messages up to this point, and any future suggestions or builds that may be offered.
PS - I blew through a Serpentis Den with less than 1/3 damage to my shields. I like it so far.

Gnosis was one of my first ships bigger than a cruiser when I started out. I still have it and use it from time to time. It’s awesome for lvl 3’s. You won’t be disappointed. Very versatile ship.
When I started out, my build was similar to yours. I upgraded it a few times over the years, and now I think it’s doing about 400 dps and shield boosting over 100 hp/s. It can do some lvl 4’s, but it’s best for lvl 3’s. Also, there’s some pve content that you can’t bring anything bigger than a battle cruiser into, and my Gnosis is great for those. I never felt the need to use any other BC sized ship so far.
When I get some time, I’ll post my build.

It’s worth it. I used a Gnosis as my first bigger ship, outfitted with 720mm Scout Arty. Handled most things pretty well.
Just don’t do what I did and get baited into a fight outside Hek by a troll in a T2 armor-tanked destroyer…

Gnosis, in common with the other SoCT ships has role bonuses for all weapons instead of per-level hull bonuses for faction specific weapons. It’s a generalist, not a specialist. It’s an excellent ship for new players because you effectively have all the bonuses out of the box - no training required. CCP has also given away enough of them so they are really inexpensive.
I flew a Gnosis for level 3 missions as a new player and it handled them well. The only downside I recall is the ship is very slow!

The Gnosis is a very good ship to get, It has bonuses to most weapon types just like the Sunesis and Praxis.
