Hello everyone o/
Many of you have seen our recent news update revealing the celebratory rewards we're sending to subscribers over the next few months.
The original update included this cryptic text:
Quote:In addition to this, there are also rumors from an as of yet unidentified shipyard that indicate a new ship is about to be unveiled...
Today we're ready to begin gathering feedback on this new ship that will be handed out as part of the celebration!
The Sunesis is a new destroyer from the Society of Conscious Thought. Like its big brother the Gnosis, the Sunesis does not require advanced skill training to fly and gets all its bonuses from fixed role bonuses. It also shares the Gnosis' "jack of all trades" design philosophy, receiving bonuses to all major weapon types and being able to be tanked in any way desired.
Here are the work in progress stats as they stand today. We'll be making tweaks as needed using your feedback and playtesting.
Sunesis Role Bonus: 25% bonus to Small Energy Turret, Small Hybrid Turret and Small Projectile Turret damage 25% bonus to Light Missile and Rocket damage 50% bonus to Drone hitpoints and damage 37.5% bonus to Core and Combat Scanner Probe strength
Slot layout: 4H, 4M, 4L; 3 turrets, 3 launchers 3 Rig Slots, 400 Calibration Fittings: 63 PWG, 175 CPU Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 800 / 800 / 800 Base shield resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 27.5 / 27.5 / 27.5 / 27.5 Base armor resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 32.5 / 32.5 / 32.5 / 32.5 Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / average cap per second) : 575 / 320 / 1.8 Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 220 / 2 / 1,500,000 / 4.16s Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 35km / 550 / 6 Sensor strength: 10 Gravimetric Signature radius: 65 Cargo capacity: 600
To get this new ship for free, be subscribed before 23:59 UTC on September 16th 2016 and maintain an active subscription until the November expansion.
We'll have this ship ready for playtesting on SISI as soon as possible so you folks can try it out there. Let us know what you think!

Always amazed at the SoCT's cargo capacity. Frankly, other ship manufacturers should take inspiration from them...
Apart from that, sounds like a fun ship to fly! It seems VERY powerful for a destroyer though, the 4 mids + 4 lows... What are the drone bandwidth and capacity BTW?
EDIT: From the news, it's 20Mb/40m3

Like its big brother the Gnosis, the Sunesis is a celebration gift given by CCP to our players at certain important points in EVE history.

Doesn't that bother you by the way? The EVE economy is almost entierly player-driven with player-made stuff. Injecting ships out of nowhere is fine when they have a way to be usefull without filling too much of a niche, like the Gnosis.
But here, you have a destroyer that's clearly more unique in its stats (especially its ability to tank, but also it's ability to probe which is completely new for a destroyer)... It fills a niche, and this niche is entierly made of CCP-spawned items.
I just find that weird for a sandbox. It's not the end of the world or anything, but it feels out of place.

Unless CCP introduces more Gnosii on a regular basis, the speculators merely had their investment delayed. Remember folks, you don't loose anything as long as you don't sell! And here I am talking like the true trader that I'm not.
I will be interesting to see if the Sunesis or the Gnosis end up being the most used of the two though.

I agree with this ro some extent.
I would prefer that ccp give a bpc not a fully built ship. Then people would have to access the sandbox to build their gift.
That being said I do support ccp being able to reward players and thank them for trying to come up with new and creative ways to show subscribers appreciation. |

Thank you Fozzie. Could be worth it to clarify this part in the news so people are aware of it :p |

The T3 destroyers would like a word. They don't have a bonus to strength but they have the slot layout to make it work. |

Ship looks fun, especially for Alphas. Drone bandwidth is perfect, don't change it. Cargo bay seems huge to me.

If I remember right, I think this is the 4th time they've added a wave of Gnosis to the game. As well, they're added with BPCs, not straight ships, so they don't appear for free.
We got them for:
- 1 for EVE's 10th birthday
- 5 for EVE Collector's Edition
- 1 at some other point?
- 1 more now

I'm a little underwhelmed with the offensive stats. 4/4/4 with 3 turrets and launchers and a 25% role bonus to everything was about what I expected, even if 3.75 effective turrets/launchers is positively anemic for any destroyer, but if it's going to have such little direct firepower can it at least fly a full flight of drones? (For comparison, an Algos has 5 turrets and 15 mbit more bandwidth, while a dragoon has 6 turrets and 5 mbit more bandwidth.) The gnosis has a full 50 mbit of bandwidth and can therefore fly a full flight of size-appropriate drones, shouldn't this get the same?
tl;dr dronebay can stay at 40 m^3, but IMO it should have 25 mbit of bandwidth. |

Looks like fun. Thank you, CCP!
CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
