Kind of. The Society of Conscious Thought is run by Jovians iirc but its members are mostly from the empire races.

Just like all pirate ships they are better than the base but not as good as the next category up So they will beat noob ships but struggle against T1 frigates (almost all are 2/3/2 with 1 turret point, I think one has 1 turret and 1 missile). Also, they are limited edition so there is no way of knowing if we actually get to make them or if they are going to be left under our assets by the station loot fairy.
I hope they make it to the LP stores because noob ship thunderdomes are the best thunderdomes.
Also, they look so pretty /drool.

He is a bit of a boss.
I am hoping that you can somehow change a characters noob ship to these pirate versions, the description of them does state at the top that they are to "Teach new pilots fleet combat doctrine and tactics".
Here is to hoping i will see a Violator spawn in stations instead of my boring reaper  |

I can't help suspecting there's some sort of numerological hoax behind the BC. On the other hand, if all or even part of the video is a hoax, then somebody who is set up to access the test server would probably point it out.

What exact date is the 10th anniversary? I plan to let my alt account expire soon, but it might be worth a PLEX extension, if it gets me a neat gift.

If the BC is an gift it will rarely see combat which is a shame, if it is continually seeded however  |

The main concern with the ship being real was it had no "Requirements" tab on it.
Would be awesome if it were a 10 year present though. |

Well, the Gnosis being flyable now isn't a shock.
When people were digging around for the changes in Crucible 1.5 they spotted it had been updated from being NPC only to be a flyable ship when the name was changed back in March.
Good to see the Styx and the other I've forgotton the name of are finally getting an outing as playable ships, they've both been in the game files as test frigates for years. |

My guess is that the Gnosis will be a prize in an AT or similar kind of stuff. Just another iteration of 'cool sexy ships for the winners, but isn't something anyone will ever see'.
As for the pirate noob frigs, my guess is they'll be in the pirate LP stores, or alternatively that they will be changing the rookie ship stuff so that you get whatever rookie ship is associated with the faction of the station you get issues on in. |

The pirate rookie ships could be a setup for something that would be very, very nice, like letting players, or at least experienced players, start new characters off in pirate factions as well as empire factions. I can see why new players should be started out in high-sec, but it doesn't really make sense that "new" pod pilots only pop up in high-sec corporations. With genetic background and upbringing completely irrelevant to your character's capabilities now it would be much easier now to introduce new "races" and bloodlines into the game than it was a few years ago.
As for the gnosis, I'm kind of mixed about it. On the one hand its core stats aren't all that good, in fact the ship is worse than the current prophecy in many regards, but the slot layout lets it get enough oomph to compensate for it and make it a pretty good ship overall. I'm just not sure that it's "good enough" to qualify as a prize for an alliance tournament or something similarly high-profile.
Frankly I'd really despise it if a ship with art that nice and such a versatile slot layout was so rare that just undocking with it was begging to be ganked. |

Letting pilots start out as a pirate faction would be amazing.
Maybe an entire new expansion? |

Violator and Hematos are going to have 80% webs. This alone makes these two ships very interesting. |

The Gnosis is too generic (it covers everything), and has no real skill requirement..
it is a gift ship. We won't see that flown in regular combat.
The pirate ships are interesting though. |

If that were the case, CCP wouldn't have asked people to test she ship, and tbh despite being an interesting ship with interesting bonuses, I think you'll find that the viability of it is nearly nonexistent. It won't be doing anything that other ships can't already do better, so my guess is it's a 10th birthday gift. |
