A couple points I'd like to make - when I go up against a Cane in a Brutix I don't worry about his range - I worry about his neuts. Try running your blasters + invuln while he's got double overheated neuts on you, it doesn't end so well and ECM drones don't always work {which is why I prefer a dual rep Brutix with DPS rigs}.... and scramming a nano BC is incredibly easy unless it's a snake / boosted Drake with 16km webs.
Honestly, every time I log in I pray for a Minmatar ship to be sitting somewhere, waiting for me to come kill it in my Gallente ship, but the truth is people who fly Minmatar generally = people who fly in blobs, because people who think Minmatar are the best are usually the same people who suck at pvp.

What do you think of the Brutix and the Myrmidon sharing the same armor rep bonus? The Dominix and Ishtar both have hybrid damage bonuses to complement their drones. The myrmidon also seems out of place with the other tier 2 BC, especially if the proposed Drake changes go through. |

I'm really enjoying my Talos with blasters. /shrug
You can find roles for all the ships in many circumstances. Gallente just doens't have the hurricane or drake that can be fitted for *all* circumstances.
With that said, god I wish the Megathron was just better... just somehow better. A mega-frickin-thon should kill stuff on INC, not give it glancing blows and crap.

WTH.
To the naysayers on page one who seem to think Caldari don't have / require any skills beyond missiles : Merlin, Moa, Harpy, Ferox , lolEagle, Vulture, Rokh. Cald gunships uisually have a launcher only slot as well.
Any Caldari with sense, nowadays especially, trains up both missiles (usually at least 3 types: Light, Heavy and mehTorp up to t2) and hybrids (2 more types and three sizes up to t2). PS: lolCruise.
Caldari (any who arent strictly missioners) train all that, shield stuff, ECM, T2 Light and Medium and ECM drones, and a fair fraction train up armor related sjkills as well. Looks at Scorpion.
Gallente aint screwed skillwise I don't believe, your just not seeing everyone elses ugly forest.
Too bad the Gallente and Caldari hate each other in the fiction, Cald for range and ECM and Gallente for omfgshortrangebbq could roll up New Eden in no time. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. - H.L. Mencken |

Blowhards like Liang can sit here and talk about how awesome gallente ships are, but numbers don't lie.
The funniest thing is that for all of the "Caldari are only for pvp" they have ~20x the number of kills than gallente on the list. ****, they have more kills than minmatar.
Bad players afraid of core mechanics changes have basically reduced Amarr and gallente to niche races. There are fundamental changes that need to be made so that there is some freakin' variety in pvp. |

Actually those statistics are misleading. Suppose you have a 10v10, where everyone is in Drakes, and everyone but 1 guy dies (Go go hero Drake!). Assuming that everyone knows how to follow primary (hahahahahaha): - Drake 1: 10 drakes on it - Drake 2: 10 drakes on it - Drake 3: 9 drakes - Drake 4: 9 drakes ...
So in the end we see 110 Drakes on your list for only 20 combatants. Obviously this is unreasonable.

It isn't just that "drakes" or "Bob doles" show up multiple times, all ships do.
Indeed since missiles have a delay and guns don't you could argue that drakes are probably underrepresented, since someone who fired may not have ended up in the KM.
Edit: high alpha ships would also have a greater tendency to show, and low alpha, fast firing ships are greater tendency.

It doesn't apply equally to all ship types though - since some ship types are good at blob engagements and others aren't. Ships that engage in blob warfare are: A) going to legitimately get more kills B) going to be even more over represented by nature of the multiplicative effect outlined above.
Frankly, I think the problem is that you want Gallente to be the best small gang as well as the best blob warfare ships. Just not gonna happen, and thats ok.

I realize that your Corp spends apparently half its time camping ammake, so you probably don't have "a clue" about 0.0 you think that big battles are happening 24/7. They aren't. The multiplicative effect you talk about doesn't happen nearly as much as you would think.
Crying about good in fleet and small gang for one race is pretty damn hilarious. Considering Minmatar. And Caldari. And Amarr. Drakes are prime for fleets, and the ECM boats for small gangs. Tempests for Fleets and the entire frigate/cruiser line and 2 of 3 BCs for small gangs. Abbadons for fleet, Zealots for small gangs.
Why do you think Gallente should be any different?
Oh wait, because like a true publord you rage against anything that doesn't directly benefit you personally.

I started with have a greater tendency to not (Look mah I can use ITALICS too!) show.

You are being dense. I just posted four PVP videos recorded since late December where I only used blasters. Furthermore, as can be plainly seen by the KB I linked, I pretty much only use blasters. And furthermore, I am effectively nerfproof these days. I don't think CCP could really buff or nerf anything that would benefit or harm me personally.
Nerfproof: http://eveboard.com/pilot/Liang_Nuren I use blasters: http://kbarmy.heretic-army.biz/?a=pilot_detail&plt_ext_id=835925604&view=ships_weapons
So while I may be a "blow hard", I at least make blasters work while you sit there and QQ about why you can't PVP.

You are aware that to the rest of Eve, a 20 man fleet is somewhere between fleet and a blob, while in 0.0 people joke about 100 man small gangs? And no, I'm not under the impression that 0.0 is full of wars and battles that rage 24/7. Hell, that's why almost 30% of the "real" (non shuttle, pod, noobship) total kills in Eve are done in low sec by ~8% of the population.

I am not the one crying here m8. I think that Gallente should excel at small gang combat, and that small gang combat should be plentiful. Fortunately, both are true.

I don't fly gallente, I fly Minmatar. But I'm sick of fighting the same damn fleet comps.
My point was that you wouldn't benefit from pro-"fleet" pvp fixes for gallente, since you're such a HARDKOOORE SMALL GANG ELITE PvPer, but apparently that went right over your head.

If you feel that's over the top for insulting, maybe you should look a little closer to home eh?

The simple fact of the matter is that changing Gallente such that they're good at fleets would make them the obvious choice for all PVP. Seriously, they're that dominant at small gang PVP these days.

That's not as true as you'd really think. In a great many ways, the game has been designed around Gallente = Blasters+Drones and Caldari = Missiles+Rails.

Pro-tip when bullshitting: Make sure you're consistent.
Then why are you fitting blasters on a caldari ship? Could there be fundamental difference between Caldari and Gallente ships that make them better at using blasters? If so isn't it dumb that gallente get out classed in their own racial weapon type? |

I'm confused as to what the argument here even is. Gallente cannot and will not be great at big fleet PvP (0.0 or otherwise) until people get off their ass with the long range sniper setups and risk their ships by fighting at close range. Drones are not enough of a long range weapon system (sentries notwithstanding), and railgun-fit Gallente ships will always be under-par compared to the other races, all of which get specializations in long range combat (railguns, beam lasers, scorch/pulse, artillery).
Gallente are better than ever in small gang PvP where you can get up close and personal with the enemy. That allows them to use the various hybrid damage/falloff/tracking bonuses they get, plus be able to take advantage of their dronebays by being able to hotswap drones (for aggro management or swapping drone types).
Stop using KB numbers for evidence, as they are all bollocks. Unless you are able to take them with a giant grain of salt, don't use them at all. They will make you sound like an idiot.

I'm fitting blasters to the Harpy because the Blarpy is just ridiculously overpowered - more so than most other blaster ships. The odd one off doesn't change the expected racial meta.

Don't oversimplify, now. Gallente are hard-pressed to get a decent sniping setup, or to tank obnoxious amounts of damage, and nano-setups are hard to pull off on Gallente ships.

I'm willing to concede that the other races (including Caldari with Rails) does sniping better, but come on man, you can't tell me that Gallente doesn't nano or tank well. That's just ridiculous.

you are just kidding me and I accept, you know perfectly weel all I want is that Gallente and Hybrids aren't the last choice but something you don't get expell of the fleet because you bring it, nor 0/ridiculous reimbursement program because you fly gallente, neither *wth the time you target sh+»t in your lol rails crap the target is already dead, go get an ibis with a web you'll be more useful*
You can't say I'm not aware of some benefits, you know perfectly well that small rails/blasters are completely FOTOM now witch is not what was asked, meanwhile med/large rails are still sub par of everything and galletne hulls stil have far too many drawbacks, T2 ships need a deep work to become viable options.
I don't want gallente to become fotom race, I fly canes, maelstroms, drakes T3 calamari/matar/gallente why should I complain if it's not for the greater good of the game and everyone else than my self?

Gallente + Rails are a good choice once you get over 150km. The fact that sniping at that range is a problem has more to do with on grid probing then with Gallente or Rails. "Long Range" at 100km means alhpa is popular.
Edit: I used to hate sniper fleets in my Arty Tempest when shots were being exchanged at 200km. |

Edit: I used to hate sniper fleets in my Arty Tempest when shots were being exchanged at 200km.
Well honestly, would you choose a sniper rails Megathron for +150km or Tornado that can make triple Megathron alpha strike at 242km, half sign radius and 1600m/s cap stable when mega caps out just by shooting (best dps conf) ?

I still have one sniper rails Mega and prepared to pinch butts at 240km with no tracking issues, but it's more about make those run off the gate than really kill one of them unless I'm very very lucky guy. At same range with alpha Tornado the Sabre goes pouf in one single shot, Cynabal 3 shots at worst (he will warp out first) and with +25% tracking on shortest range ammo 1 shot at the dram at 100km is either he pop either I gtfo, all I can tell you is that ranis at this range go pouf with 0 tracking issues.
I have two comments: - Please post these fits you keep talking about. You claim that the Tornado has "triple the Mega's alpha" but seem to neglect the fact that you have to be at over 1x falloff. This means that your 6550 volley drops to ~2620 expected. I'd like to see your fits to verify what you're saying. - Alpha's nice and all but its not the only thing in combat - in fact there are lots of combat situations where DPS is more important than volley damage. Those are the kinds of situation where Gallente are going to be successful, and asking for them to be so much more successful that their DPS overtakes the advantages of volley damage would be like asking for rail Taloses to drop out 1500 DPS at range. Lets keep things within the realm of reasonable - because so far it seems like you want Gallente to pwn at small gangs, pwn at large gangs, pwn at fleets, pwn at sniping, pwn at... well, everything.

Ed: And a third comment, to your post responding to me: If your FC kicks you out of the fleet because you brought Gallente, maybe he's right and maybe he's wrong. There's times and places for all ships and thats ok. If you want to fly Gallente, fly in a meta that supports it - because that meta does exist. Almost 30% of the real (non-shuttle, non-noobship, non-pod) kills in Eve are in low sec and Gallente ******* dominates in low sec right now. Normally on 5:00 -> 9-10:00 Eve (Aus TZ?)
