The Gallente are for Porn. I fully expect their racial CQ to reflect this basic truth.

fuzzy carpet, handcuffs on the rotating bed, heartshaped or champagne glass shaped jacuzzi, and so on.

For being the "close range race that sucks at close range" running gag, during the last 3 years?

lol Thorn is mad about fantasy stereotyping.

gallente: hybrids/blasters, close combat. best drones, good carriers. They're not the best newbie class to start following the standings, pve. They're also not french.


gallente are, in fact, french.
the closest thing to americans in eve are the caldari.


I never understood this philosophy. gallente are definitely not french since the french surrendered/lost majority all wars. american is not an ethnicity, the only relation to Caldari is their technological warfare. I could also say, Gallente are americans due to their obsessive drone tech use in RL.


caldari look like the french.

edit: also, who cares


I care :P And Gallente are more like French (because of their ****** attitude) and Americans (Because of their democrytic system)
Caldari are presumably a mix of German and Russian stereotyping. Perhaps a little Japanese as someone said, but the Japanese aren't as militaristic as the Caladri are portrait

Anyway: Gallente Ships are not the slowest btw, Caldari are, but because they armor tank they become solwest. And as tehy lack serious Med-Slots to Shield Tank that does not work either. Get Blasters a little more Tracking, less Cap use. Get Railguns the ability to deal most DPS at 80km+ [because they are outdmged by SHORT RANGE LASERS below that anyway....which isn't as bad anyway. BUT we dont need 350km Range on a Ship if Targeting Maximum is 249!!] and reduce Cap Usage as well.

Perhaps give Gallente more Agility (not speed) perhaps Bonusses to Armor tank use?

Really, this forum needs the Mods to gouge-out the trolls who hijack threads by posting utter bullshit.



this is 90% of posts tbh. i am sick of it and really think people need to grow up. for such a ontelligent game and a group of players that for the most part are miles above other gamers. the forums are the worst i have ever seen. i really think people need to leave that in game bs at the door and atleast try to answer a question without the typical look at me im inportant **** they usually post. just my thought though i could be wrong.

afterburners on a thorax / brutix = FAIL. the ship uses blasters. you don't keep your MWD running once youre in scram range, you point, web, and turn them into debris. a MWD lets you actually catch your target and ruin it. an afterburner? utterly useless for the role the ship fills, as you will *never* catch a MWDing ship of any class, while they pummel you to dust with their longer-range weapons. and pretty much every single pvp ship is going to have a MWD fit unless its some sort of highsec "pvp" fit.


You can't use scrams anymore. Since everyone is mounting 100MN afterburners on all the T2 and T1 BC and Cruiser hulls a scram is useless. One more thing that is a pain in the rear for slower gallente pilots.

By the way CCP, since the game is a replication of ship warfare since when do you ever see naval cruisers running around with motor parts that fit aircraft carriers? What we have is akin to diesel fired submarines fitting massive nuclear power plants for added steam. Why are battleship class parts capable of fitting into something that should have considerably less physical space in the ship. How about we keep it to medium pieces fit medium ships etc.

if your opponent is using a 100MN AB, then it is absurdly easy to screw him over because of the abysmal acceleration that results in. Just fly manually and there really is not much he can do to stop you from running away or forcing him up close due to your relative agility.

my non-gank thorax has a MWD and a 1600mm plate, with a scram and web, and it works splendidly.
