Aren't the Jove supposed to be light years ahead of us?
Any of their ships are supposed to ROFLstomp our ships, and yet the Gnosis isn't really that powerful.
Its powerful and versatile yes, but light years ahead of the empires? No.
Is this like an old model?
Because if this ship is the average Jovian ship, then the empires could take them down with just sheer numbers.

They're propably just wrong. SoCT as an organization has a Jovian connection, so some people try to streach that minor link to mean the ships they manufacture are Jovian ships. |

Probably because it says "Jove" in the Ship-Preview window. CCP should perhaps change that. |

Totally agree its not jovian at all, just uses some general ideas from Jovies or most likely "jovian starship philosophy" but not their advenced technology.
humouristic approach:
- It's jovian medium drone remade by SoCT to be manned craft

This made me laugh...a lot.
When a WoW player leaves to return to WoW, the avg. IQ of both games rises.
Request to CCP: Please patch stupidity out of the game for Winter 2013.

The Gnosis is a Battlecruiser that a total newbie can fly without even having the BattleCruiser skill.
It's so HI-TECH it only has 'stop' 'go' & 'SHOOT ZE CANNONS' butans..............
Seems pretty advanced to me
I have deliberately developed an air of cynicism that I originally intended to make me appear somewhat louche and caddish but actually comes across as irritable hostility combined with the unspoken threat of sudden violence..... |

Only if we can also add misuse of the word "parsec" on top of that.

Parsec is a unit of distance, you rock-stupid half-assed excuse for a writer!

He is saying "think figuratively" rather than literally. Think of a time line as an abstraction of the passage of time. Then, figurative distance on the abstract time line, could represent literal time. |

Yeah... Lucas needs to go too. If not for the misuse of parsec in Ep4, then for the Ewoks in Ep6, and the entirety of Ep1-3.

Yeah, and the expression "such and such a thing is light years ahead of its competitors" is referring to distance and not time. The people who are confused are you guys who don't understand the expression in the first place.
So yeah, Zak is wrong.
EDIT: So if someone says "so and so is miles ahead in the tech race", they aren't confusing miles for units of time, they're speaking figuratively. "Light years ahead" is a more exaggerated use of the expression.
That's why I said "grasp of language is miles ahead" in my last post because I was hoping you would pick up on that (and not because I think I'm an expert in language because I'm not) |

I see what you're saying but I don't agree with it. A light year is a defined scientific measurement of distance, there is nothing figurative about it and it doesn't have anything to do with a time line.

Light year, is a measure of distance. 'Ahead' is a relative term, for direction.
1 light year = 9.4605284 +ù 1015 meters
Therefore, no.

And, a "time line" is a means of depicting the order of events in history, that also uses a scale that allows us to see the relative time that passed between those events.
If we set the end of the last ice age (10K BCE) as 0 on our time line, and set current day (call it 2000 CE) to be 12 inches away, then each inch would approximate 1000 years. Tings like domestication of cattle, establishment of the first code of laws, first alphabetic language, etc, could be plotted as various inches and fraction of inches along the line.
Here, the well defined unit of distance know as the "inch" is used figuratively to represent the passage of literal time.
You could then say, Faster Than Light Travel is miles beyond us, technologically (which on the scale of inch = 1000 years would be a very long time). This would be hyperbole (intentional exaggeration to make a point) to demonstrate that we are not even close to getting there.
Since it is pure hyperbole, we do not need to specifically designate a unit of time to the unit of distance on our time line, since a mile is clearly an absurd unit to be applied to any time line.
Light Years is just a further over-exaggeration to make the point that we are not even close, in figurative distance on an abstract time line, or literal passage of time on a clock, calendar, or writing of history books. |

Do we even know what a Kessel Run is? For all we know it could be a time-challenge to do a certain something in the least distance possible.
