This is made of so much fail and will die in fire to the omnipresent canes.Lol


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.


Any failboat is a lot "better" with blob standing by. Failboats are used as baits precisely because it fails.Lol

And sometimes a "failboat" is better because people aren't familiar with it and don't know how to fight one.

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.


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.



I love killing your rifters ;-P

Deimos might become a wicked boat if the null changes go through. shield AC Myrm is also great.

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.


yup the ogre's look good in eft but in game use they will almost always be to slow to catch even armor tanked BC's with a mwd if you are fighting on the move. i only use them after i landed a scram otherwise 5 mediums is usually better .... sad that myrms main weapon drones cant even be used very well in pvp situations cause they are too slow. even with max drone skills they ar kinda a joke =/ and yeh if you need to GTFO and burn out you will easily outrun your heavies and will be forced to abandon them cause they cant catch you to dock. not to mention if u agress people on lowsec gates the gate sentries immediatly **** your ogre's as well taking away alot of your dps.add this to the list of why gallente is bad for pvp.

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.


I've got those, started Minmatar because I wanted "Gallente ships" working better than usual crap. Got owned by the fantastic abilities of Minmatar line up and just amazed by Angel performances in every situation.

I'd just advice that new guy to go straight for Minmatar training and forget about Gallente. Any ship you want to fly with Gallente will use toncrap of cap for guns, for shooting, for armor rep, to fit crap armor reps, to fit active hardeners...everything sucks your cap faster than any experienced lady would do with some Cornetto, and hybrids need almost perfect skills to get something starting to look credible has dps.

Then you have the drones route, this means you get stuck in something using stupid AI, with little to no mods and little without T2 version, you will soon enough find out that drone boats shield fitted with autocanons are the best drone boats out there...

Thus making gallente the worst race to train for any noob.

Go Minmatar, and watch yourself progress with time, plus they're the best race overall for skirmish small/med gangs and whatever role you're asked to they have balanced ships you can have fun with from tackling rifters to nano Pest they're all awesome and slightly above everything else in game except some amarr ships at sub cap.

While the shield Myrmidon does work very well. Using that set-up with auto-cannons is alot better. In the future if I use that set-up again. I'll be dropping one auto-cannon for a medium neutraliser. Otherwise it's a very nice set-up. However, flying the shield Myrmidon with blasters is fun.

I'm not going to go into what ship is better than another. However I will post what Gallente ships I like to fly.

At 6M SP, here are my Gallente-specific recommendations:

Frigate: Incursus. I don't recommend the Tristan to newer players 'cause of the split weapon system.

Cruiser: Thorax or Vexor, depending on whether your friend has a bias towards guns or drones.

Also, don't forget the Catalyst. With the recent changes to hybrids and dessies, it is now a bit easier to fit for new players and does some decent damage. In small gangs, dessies can wreak a fair amount of carnage.

BTW - Suggest to your friend to concentrate skill training on support skills first, rather than rushing into BC/BS or T2 ships. After support skills, train up the gun skills to 5, in order to get into the T2 guns.

Note that a cruiser with T2 guns flown by a pilot with support skills at 4/5, will always kill a BC with T1 guns flown by a pilot with no or mediocre support skills. Always.

I can't blieve no one has mentioned the catalyst, it absolutely melts frigates.
Go mwd fit with ions, and dual MFS. Enjoy.

This is irrelevant. Goose was specifically calling ships "bad" on the basis that they'd die to a Hurricane, not to a ship of the same class.

Even if this was relevant, Thrashers aren't that much better than Catalysts after the Hybrid buff + desty changes.
