I'm not sure because I don't fly gallente, but I think what Monster meant is that while, ofc, you can find somebody flying just about anything, there are far more efficient ways to spend money for ratting/missioning.
IE: You could probably rat decently in a rail rokh or a cruise scorpion, but there are better ships, with similar skill requirements, for that niche.

The hybrid changes are ok. Gallente ships need to be faster though. Fastest in the game. Otherwise you still wont be able to catch your target.

some kind of solution to all this could be some sort of RUSH ABILITY. Something like short range warp with cooldown like allready proposed. I think it is really a natural way to go, as in every EVERY single multiplayer game you can think of, melee classes have some sort of this ability. and 3km optimal is a melee in space:P -seriously only the fact that some sort of rush is in everygame talks for it self .

Dunno why are you thinking in terms like hmm i buff a little of this and little of that and it should be fine while the whole concept in general is flaud, correct is : THE FASTEST SHIPS SHOULD HAVE THE SHORTEST RANGE WEAPONS -also very logical, so either switch galente with min in speed ( simply from now on galente is known as a fastest race ) or switch weapon systems ( as they are -hybrids do min and projectiles to galente, or just switch they range - from now on autocannons will be known as shortest range uberdamagers ) I know ccp made up they race profiles and want to stick to them ( min fastest etc ) but they simply made a bad combination with weapon systems, sipmle switching (with some minor changes) would be ok.

In terms of dmg in general there should be considered some basic equation:
short range ship vs long range ship:
they both should destroy eachother at the same time, and the short range ship should have that more dmg than long range so when it comes to range(and it should be able somehow), it will catch up with damage dealt until the point od both destroying each other.

For example:
long range ship: 10000 hp, 200 dps, 40km range, 500m/s speed
short range ship: with also 10000 hp, it means it will take 50 sec for long range to destroy it, and thats how long it should take the short range ship to get in range and destroy the long r. one. (asuming that the long range is running away that any smart pilot would do). with 20 km range it needs to cover distance of 20 km and kill it in 50sec. So you can set the speed and dmg as you want:
for example 1500m/s speed (-500 because long r ship is running from you) so it will take you 20 sec to get in range, and than 333 DPS, it it wil take 30 sec to kill long range ship - together 50s and both ships are destroyed. OR 1000ms, so you will get in range in 40 sec and 1000dps sou you will kill each other.

It is of course somewhat simplyfied, but this rule should allways be preserved. SO systems are balanced and the choice od ship is simply a players preference, not that 1 is just stronger than other. Now mins are faster and dont need that range as galente - evidently broken.

did a bit of testing with the brutix now. it's pretty amazing if you put isk into it. put reps including resists & resist rigs. then drop in some rep implants and a pill you got an in your face repping crazy machine. with the hybrid changes i can slap on ion blasters on this boat. it worked very well and I was very impressed with it.

as for the sniping gangs we will be running into i allready got a counter for them >:)

Tallest,

I appreciate what you have tried so far, but trust me, the issue with blasters will be taller than you until you give them a 40 percent damage boost. :-D

Amarr Pilot spotted.

There are a lot of good suggestions here and a huge DPS increase in exchange for the crippled range blasters have is hardly imbalancing. Show us where the misconception is when we compare Railguns to Beam lasers?

hai thur. have u ever done ne pee vee pee

I killed the first and afaik only Adrestia ever lost on TQ...
That could ofcourse happen for anyone, but plz keep on subject?
Well documented agruments will beat my 5 years of pvp experience any day and yeah the railguns must be in need of the biggest buff no doubt...

ive been pvping since eve's beta...wth is your point? just because u have pvp'd and maxed a bunch of skills blindly, it doesnt mean u have a good understanding of whats going on.

Well, feel free to up the fitting of rails of you improve their performance. Currently there is nothign adequate long-range gallente cna fit on their ships: rails track badly and when they hit they only are chipping paint. There only advantage is range, but it does not come in useful anywhere, unles you want to give us 200 km points. (not such a good idea)
