Wormholes

In our little corner of the world, half the corp is training blasters and finding more and more uses for gallente-hulls all the time. That is for pvp thou, so if thats what you are into your friend are probably spot on. There are always a gallante ship to fly no matter what job...

That said, for pve/ISK-making, drake/tengu still rule. Depending on how stubborn your friend is when it comes to cross train caldari/missiles, it might be worth it just for the easy ISK-making. Especially if you already fly a Tengu.

Other then that I would also be interested in what gallante ships people use for plexing C2-C4s. Ishtar a good choice for C2 farming maybe? Rail-Naga worth it in C4s?

(shameless plug: R-NAT is recruiting :)

in c5/6 moros's are great, however im pretty sure you and your buddy arent at the point where capitals are a viable option yet.
for PvE tengu is king. it doesnt do anything better then anything, but its the only ship that can do everything well. my corp have been using navy domi's in c4's (utility highslots \o/) but they are never the best choice

in PvP gallente are awesome. they dont have much range, but most fights happen at in your face distance anyway. and they do massive dps

Just to clarify, this only really applies when running sites solo. Sleeper target-switching seems 99% geared to between player ships, unless there's only one in which case they do indeed switch to & waste your drones in very short order. A corpmate & I run Domis with nano'd Ogres in C3 anoms & sites, and I can't remember the last time a drone actually got aggro.

With the advent of the new DDA mods, the Ogre II has become an extremely nasty dps dealer.

@OP - Your corpmate has a few options open. The Domi/NI Domi are very effective boats for both PvP and PvE (in remote-repping pairs) in w-space, if he has decent drone skills (which he should being Gal).

Other good Gal boats for w-space PvP are Nemesis, Arazu, Mega, Oneiros for logi, Phobos (not the best HIC but hey), Deimos and sniper Ishtar.

For PvE, Dual-rep Hyperion can also run C3 anoms solo, but cap-boosted which is a pita.

If you're moving to C1/C2, then any decent dual-rep Myrm fit can run anoms and sites.

For C4 and above, a quad Domi gang can still run anomalies. Apart from that the only boat he'll be useful in is a buffered Proteus with logi support.

More players will reduce how often they switch to drones but from my experience most of the time when you have 3 or less ships on the field they will go for drones way too often. Only with 4-5 other ships can I use them with relative impunity. (This will change a bit with the exact details of your fleet setup, etc. but in general with small or solo numbers they will BBQ drones rather nastily best bet is to use a ship that can field sentries)

See what you're saying Rroff, but I think Godfrey nailed it. If it's the eWar which really pisses those Sleepers off as he suggests (never considered that before tbh), then it would explain why our RR Domi gangs can run Ogres with such impunity.

EDIT: Damn Floppie, I was about to compliment your post for putting up my favourite T3 for C3 farming..

Then you went and mentioned the Shmengu

I'd like to add that the Legion is actually quicker at farming C3 anoms than the Tengu

Gallente is brilliant for pvp in wh (proteus). In pve consider training salvaging 5 (though the legion might be better at that as well).


If he hasn't trained for a t3 yet, wait until you have talked with the corp you want to join and find out if they are shield or armor. Then train for what ever they suggest.

This is not very good isk/hour, but it is a LOT of fun, as is everything involving Enyos.

It's an awesome PvP tackler that you can use to kill sleepers with while waiting for enemies to make a move. :)

Proteus is the king of small gang wh pvp (imho) so it's definetly not wasted. He'll properly want another ship for pve though, tengu is ofc great. Another favorit is loki or rapier since the webs are a big bonus if you're fielding dreads (not that important to fit t2 guns initially for pve since the dps is nothing compared to a dread, the webs are much more effective). Not much of a reason to train past cruisers for the first while so even if he needs to cross train it wont take that long.

No, it's not. The question is about Gal ships and their use in PvE in a WH. In answer to your question, yes, I can. Thanks for asking.

Tengu is quite useful in wh's as well. Even in armor fleets.

I fly both...
