Gallente Ships good for low sec piracy with the buff? Or go with Amarr/Caldari?

I'm having a brainfart here. I want to start pirating again after a few years hiatus pirating. I have two high SP chars, one pure gallente, the other one Amarr/ Caldari. I obviously dont want to take both chars -10, would like to keep one with a decent sec status.

With recent buff would gallente be a good choice? High DPS, for pirating you ussually want to kill the target as fast as possible and GTFO... I would think so, but then i start thinking they pretty limited and most ships really rely on drones (has 10msp into drones, but that doesn't stop sentries from popping them all the time)

Amarr/Caldari at least have the drake etc, which has sweet tank for taking sentries etc.

At a standstill here. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Lots of ships can tank sentries. Winmatar is the way to go. Btw, lol arties.

All of these ships posted below. Either have so much defence that you can take on multi-ple targets @ once (so 2 - 4 ships) Or does enough damage to take down another ship before more ships arrive. Some have a GTFO option if you use dual-propulsion when things go wrong in local or on scan. By the way, everyone of these ships were able to do the same before the changes. Though now they use less capacitor, have better tracking and need less power grid to fit hybrid weapons.

Gate Camping Megathrons and Neut or RR Domi's are pretty standard. Shield Brutix can role with Shield Canes it just lags behind a bit and the Duel Web Brutix is not bad for Camps. Triple Rep Myrm is never a bad thing. Taranis is good for when you won't get a GCC off Gates and Stations as well as fights off them.

You would be well off to get a Cane or Drake but you can swing it with Gallente if you don't mind being Sub Optimal. Just beware of Vagabonds and Nano Canes and try not to roam without tackle.

Winmatar all the way until they finally get a nerf.

It will never happen. The 90% of playerbase that flies Winmatar wants to keep kiting each other.Big smile

The triple rep myrm might be the best solo ship you can fly.

But train winmatar.
