Gallente Tier 1 cruisers are excellent. The main issue with Tech 1 Gallente right now is that the Gallente T1 "fleet ships" (rail Brutix, rail Mega) can't compete with the higher tier alternatives of the other races in fleet fights. (Myrmidon and Hyperion are solo/small gang ships).



Actually once you learn how to fit and fly it, the Firetail is a wonderful ship.


Same is true for the Scythe Fleet Issue. But I suppose this is also true for all non-stright-forward ships.

They are outclassed by other races in every field except for recons (due to their niche role) and the comet . There are some very particular situations where gal boats (even the craptastic myrm) can shine. However in 90% of all scenarios you are better off in a ship of another race.

Why do you think the comet needs a buff?

Gallente have lots of ships that are great for FW. Many Gallente ships need balance passes, but they are still useful. Plex fights are a great equalizer, and force people onto gates, where gallente ships shine.

Incursus, Comet Enyo and Ishkur are all good (though I personally rarely fly frigs). Ares.

Thorax, Vexor, Celestis, VNI and ENI are all useful in plex fights. Lachesis and Arazu are in high demand in fleets.

Myrm, Brutix, Talos are all good in their own way. I love them all.

Battleships are all usefult, but they are not the best large fleet ships. They are all good solo and small gang, which is what you will see in FW most.

Again, many ships need balance passes (Tristan, Comet (because of the T1 frig buff), ENI, VNI and brutix come to mind). They are all still viable FW ships - because of the plex mechanic.

When I start flying cruisers, I actually plan to start on the SciFI. I've spoken to other people who fly it and they rave about it over the SFI.

Yeah I guess that was unclear. I think the comet was well balanced before, I am just saying it and the others will need to be rebalanced after the T1 frig (and eventually cruiser and BC) buff is done.

You must be blind then, because currently even at Tech I level, Gallente ships are dominating in their weightclasses.

Gallente ships are generally fine, as long as you know how to fly them. Just takes a good set of brass balls and a really bad Cuban accent and you can bury those cockaroaches.

A fine example.

The common problem with Gallente ships is actually with the pilots trying to over-tank them. They're meant to be fast with the heaviest raw damage in the game, not durable.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.
