Just gotta learn the style of gameplay that Gallente ships present. It's not for everyone. No single race is. I will give you this, though: armor rigs need a different penalty.


I have an idea for a new penalty. How about -10% tracking to mining lasers? Blink

Gallente suffer from pg issues. You cant fit a 1600 plate on a thorax with a mwd and medium guns. Yet you can do it with the rupture easily, fit medium guns and still have some left over. The best fit for a rax is shield which is rather sad, and its slower than minnie ships.

Brutix, you can do it with the smallest medium guns and a mwd.

So yeah pg is an issue and considering that gallente blasters require you to be in someones face, its disturbing to see how minnie ships easily out run them and come with longer range guns.

Rails still suck.



That much is very true.

Hybrids are fine since the buff. Railguns have the longest range of any weapons. Considering that the entire role of long-range weaponry is to outrange the opponent, I think they're fine.

i do notice that all pilots who say gallente are fine do have terrible kb stats.


KB stats are more indicative of how you play than how well you actually do. If you fly solo a lot, you'll struggle to keep 50% efficiency whereas a lot of dudes who PvP maybe three times a month have 99% isk efficiency and 300 kills.

Considering that their damage with any other ammo type besides Javelin and Antimatter is rather, well, completely abysmal ,
I disagree.

How many sniping rokh fleets do you see compared to Meal's .... Rails are in serious need of a damage buff

Well regardless, it would be nice for the gallente to actually designed to show what ccp intends them to be, if indeed armor or w/e. Some random rep bonuses, a bc with not nearly enough lows, and nother that does better without racial weaponry. I don't mind creative fits, but as a race, you'd think we'd have more uniformity.

Why are people still arguing this? CCP clearly showed this fanfest that they think Gallente have THE most broken ships in the game. Out of the whole lineup, only 48% function properly. Compared to 57% for Amarr/Caldari. What more needs to be said?
