Best starter Gallente PVP ships are the Tristan, Incursus, and Ishkur. If you gotta have a cruiser hull go with the Thorax or Vexor. GL

If you are going to have him in a group of people, put him in an Incursus or Tristan for frigates. Both the vexor and thorax are decent cruisers. Vexor is a drone boat, the Thorax is more of a gunship. It would be more helpful to know what kind of skills he has.

Here is a list of Kessah's Gallente fits. They are probably a little out dated since the Crucible fitting changes, however, they are all still relevant I believe.

- Incursus if you go frigate hunting (needs T2 range ammo to work)
- ECM drone Thorax with Ions for roams

T2 ships are expensive to lose and require lots of SP compared to T1, so not really for starters. Also, if you're new to pvp stick to cheap ships as they won't hurt your wallet as much.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

unless you're willing to cough up some serious ISK and time on specializing for ships with niche roles like the Vindicator, Ishtar/Deimos, Proteus, and Vigilant, i wouldnt train Gall.

This ^^

I hate Incursus! They are hard to kill and kite the crap out of me in my Rifter. Which means they are great fodder for this.

The Vexor is fantastic as well and makes a very good solo boat if you have a ton of skills in drones. I like flying the Vexor for fleet support.

There are three basic routes to go:
(i'm skipping the frigates, and i'm not giving the electronic support their own thread).

1. Vexor -> Myrm -> Domi / Ishtar -> Oneiros / Carrier / Proteus (armor, drones, more drones, cap and transfer).
2. Thorax -> Brutix -> Talos / Bomber / Ceptor / Recons etc. (shield, some blaster, more rails, mobility, cloak).
3. Thorax -> Myrm -> Hype -> Proteus / Vindi / Moros (active armor, cap, some drones, blasters, rails at the end).

The first is better if you are in a larger corp or alliance (or do PvE).
The second is better if you are in a small-medium corp.
The third is better if you are largely solo or paired with few friends.

Very simplistic, but that's the gist of it - in the end you want everything anyway (all races, etc.) Twisted.

a blasterax or vexor is always a good starting ships for a gallente pilot. or if you want to go cheap then incursus or tristan. eventually when you get a bit more experience you will mostly be using battlecruisers and myrm and talos are decent. i just recently saw a nice shield myrm my alliance m8 was using which looks like it would be a fun fast brawler.

Shield? :)

Gank-Vexor, Taranis, Deimos, Talos would be my suggestion. All very fun ships.

with TE's in lows, and the potential upcoming Null buff, this may replace 425mm's on my Myrm.

I originally wanted to do that as well but that fit with all skills at lvl 5 only has 1.5 CPU to spare ... so cant fit the TE's without sacrificing something ... =/

but with the nano's it is quite fast and should help u to get on top of your target so hopefully you wont have to switch to use null that much and just ride your target till he burns.

My old fit. Never flew it because of the Myrm's reliance on drones for about half it's DPS - which is bad because of the risk of having to get out without being able to scoop them. It's also still too slow, so scram-shield Myrm is actually a better choice here, imo.

You cant even immagine how many bc's or t2 i have baited with a ship like that when i was noob.

A vexor is so understimated by people like you that its an excellent and cheap ship to bait bigger ships or to kill same sized or smaller ones.
