Being democratic badasses.

Hi GatoFuego,

Unfortunately at this point in time there are some serious problems with Gallente - especially the battleships and battlecruisers. Problem is they all lack proper capacitor and energy grid, so even with your Energy Management, Capacitor skills etc at level 5 and beyondf, it's difficult to get a decent fit without draining cap or running short of power. Sure, there are ways around this with modules, but then you're just using-up slots which could be used for other purposes.

A decent battlecruiser is the Myrmidon. It offers lots of dronebay as well as pretty decent armor tanking.
The Megathron BS was once a great ship, it still is in a way, but it is seriously nerfed as per my description in the first paragraph.
You shouldn't have a big problem with any of the Gallente ships for PvE. A good set of skills and training will let you take a Myrmidon through level 4's without too much hassle, just as an example.

For PvP though, that is where you would have to determine what you want to fly (and can afford to lose, as always). As far as I am aware, the best PvP ships at this point in time are the Rifter and the Drake, neither of which are Gallente.

I recently bought and fit a Navy Scorpion (Caldari) and with some decent shield-tanking skills and missile skills, it outperforms a similar-fit Megathron BS. The shield tank holds up so much longer and way more effective, whereas on the Megathron it's a battle getting two armor reppers going, together with some decent passive (or active) armor resist hardeners.

Good news is that hopefully, very soon, CCP will fix some of the more pressing issues such as Hybrids, specifically Railguns. None of the gallente ships are truly able to run lasers. Gallente are good for Rails and Blasters, both of which have their own unique problems.

One final problem with gallente ships, specifically the bigger ones, is their speed. They are real slugs when compared to other races ships.

I still fly them for missions, but for PvP it would have to be a decision based on whether its solo or gang or fleet PvP. I don't believe there's an all-round PvP ship, but like I said, the ones I do know of are not Gallente.

I'm sure the more experienced players can offer more information than I have. Otherwise mail me if you would like more information.

Cheers.

i would say the nyx that crashed into a caldari station
gallente carriers are considered among the best.
the dominix is considered a mini-carrier because it can hold lots of drones.
dominix also looks like a shoe.

GAllente are really known for their drones.

The ishtar has a huge drone bay, is a hac, and can kill most vessels dead.

lol Thorn is mad about fantasy stereotyping.

gallente: hybrids/blasters, close combat. best drones, good carriers. They're not the best newbie class to start following the standings, pve. They're also not french.

gallente are, in fact, french.
the closest thing to americans in eve are the caldari.

I never understood this philosophy. gallente are definitely not french since the french surrendered/lost majority all wars. american is not an ethnicity, the only relation to Caldari is their technological warfare. I could also say, Gallente are americans due to their obsessive drone tech use in RL.


caldari look like the french.

edit: also, who cares

They have the worst Interdictor.
