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


#1 - the french actually have a pretty badass military history, if you look at its entirety. they most certainly are not prone to surrender, so much as global conquest schemes that nearly worked.
#2 - the reason the caldari are very similar to americans is that they are ruled by corporations, embody capitalism in its purest form, and are extremely warlike. AMERIKUH to a T.

Gallente ships actually arn't to bad at PVP at all. I've been flying their ships and I've found the following to work well:

Tristan - a slow frig with a terrible weapon layout
Incursus - a worse rifter

Assault Ships:

Ishkur - an evil little bugger, quite uncharacteristic of gallente frigates
Enyo - a head vs wall "mad deeps" boat that will get you killed

Interceptor:

Taranis - a paper tiger that will ruin poorly flown ships and get ruined by well flown ships
Ares - a decent example of a completely outdated ship class, completely replaced by superior tackle measures

Cruisers:

Vexor - wat
Thorax - the suicide boat. very good at what it does, very good source of insurance money.

Heavy assault ships:
Ishtar - pve boat. doesn't even remotely compare to the kings of pvp HACs - the zealot and the vagabond

Battlecruisers:

Myrmidon - very versatile, pve focused
Brutix - suicide boat. fatter thorax.

Battleships:

Dominix - this be a pve boat, again. outdated and outclassed in pvp

I remember something about their assault frigates not being half bad on occasion. But you'd have to check with people who have flown them.

well said Smile /tips hat

@ OP,

Like Thorn says, Gallente do have a few issues at the moment, but dont let that stop you. If you can learn to pvp, and pvp well with broken equipment, you will become a better pvp'er through it.

Tristan - damn good + stupidly cheap tackler

2 x 125mm hybrids
2 x rocket launchers

1 x afterburner or pref mwd if you get the skills quick
1 x sensor booster (insta lock)
1 x 20km warp scram

low slots - couple of nano's and a small armour repper (doesnt really matter tbh, the fits so cheap)

As a starter for pvp, this ship will get you on the killmails pretty much everytime.
As your skills improve, try the Vexor, but move up the chain slowly and you might find Gallente ships 'arent that bad' Smile

What's the Oklahoma state tree? The telephone pole. Imagine the Gallente as EVE's telephone poles (or any other static roadside attraction.)

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

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.


Honestly, from the perspective of game design, I don't see this as a problem with Gallente ships. I think the problem is that the other races don't face that problem to the same degree.

Fitting your ship should involve serious choices. Having ships where you can simply pick the best in class for each module and expect it to fit with power/grid/cpu to spare, that's what's broken.

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.


I believe Hybrid/Blaster weaponary is technically Caldari. They are decended from French settlers from Tau Ceti - so they are French.

Drones, which I personally love, are brilliant but CCP does seam to have a significant hatred of them and at almost every opportunity they nerf them again in some way.

Nothing anymore, since all the races have lost their identity with all the new changes imo. Bloodlines are dead, racial characteristics all but homogenized into a single entity for ease sake. Sad I miss my old Avatar. I would gladly go back to that with no body just to have the uniqueness that was destroyed by all this crap.

Not being on good enough or the best at everything this game can offer you.

Go Minmatar or Amar, this is the only way to go ATM and it's most certainly not going to change even if it seems CCP is willing to do something they won't listen to Gallente players anyway.

Gallente actually have many great ships. The issue is that as stated by others, you needs skills due to your DPS being coupled with drones.

The real issue for gallente is that they are not considered FOTM at the moment so nobody is actively attempting to develop tactics that fit the ship designs as they are at the moment. I do concur that gallente gun ships are not on par with other racial gun ships and something needs done to fix gallente as a whole, however, i enjoy the challenge of being different. I'm heavily trained in rails and gallente so when they do become FOTM one day i'll be one of the guys popping capital ships in one shot for 24 hours till CCP nerfs their initial gallente / railgun update LOL.
