Ok so i am new to te game some what i have about 6 million sp and everytime i go pvp i am ALWAYS first to die and i do the least amount of dmg and these are fairly small groups of like 6-10 people and I can NEVER ever ever ever go pvp by myself and i see people with less sp than me go out in frigates and blow up 6 ships or more but no matter what I do i can never kill anything. I just really don't enjoy feeling like I've wasted 6 million SP in this crap but maybe it just me but this is the absolute worst class EVER (PROVE ME WRONG I'M BEGGING YOU).

Sorry to say this, but EvE has no classes, EvE has skills.
And is the toon you are posting with the one you are complaining about? Since that one is Amarr. Just checking. 
I personally was told that basically all races can PvP. It all depends on your ship, outfit and your skills. Which, looking at EvE, makes sense.
Hopefully someone more knowledgable about the game can help you out here mate (I'm a noob, just like you  ). Good luck!

I'm calling troll, but just in case you are actually serious...join gallente militia and see how much gallente ships kick ass in the hands of people who actually know what to do with them.

When I flew Gallente I would typically be primary but I would also be one of top damage dealers on killmails. You are doing something wrong, and/or your gang is doing something wrong, that you always die and do little damage. Are they always sending you in as bait? 
Post some of your setups and videos of you fighting in gallente ships then people can point out what you are doing wrong.

LOL
All kidding aside. I just started a Gallente char a couple of days ago, after having tried all races. Been gone for a while and now seeing how things stand in the game, reading up a bit on how the game evolved, my impression is certainly not that Gallente sucks in pvp.
Now I have absolutely zero experience in pvp (unless you call being ganked by a gatecamp in your indy pvp experience) but I would believe that Gallente can pack quite the punch. So I'm confident that the more experienced players here can help you on your way.
Meanwhile I will be keeping a close eye on this thread, hoping to pick up some useful tips myself.

Gallente PvP Boats Focus on Getting in close and killing stuff up before it can actually shoot back.
No idea what you;'re doing wrong. I've been flying pure Gallente Spec for years, and everything works fine.

What ships are you using? The bolded, underlined, italicised (for easy indentification) statement makes me think you are flying something larger then frigates. Say a cruiser? Maybe a BC or BS  If you are not out there looking for fights in ships larger then frigates and only have 6 mill SP's, that could be the problem.
Again this message is only ment if you are not flying friates. If you are flying frigates then I suggest that you hook up with one of the pirate corps and learn what it is you need to know.
EDIT:
And to be honest if you wanted to debate this issue you should have posted this in GD. You debating this makes this not really applicable to the New Players forum, to be frankly honest.

I think it's fair to say that Gallente and Caldari Tech 1 combat frigs and cruisers are weaker than Amarr and Minmatar. The Merlin and the Tristan are not as good as the Rifter and the Punisher. It is not impossible to get success in these ships, but you are disadvantaged in comparison. 2/2 split on guns with rockets being fail ... blech.
Cruisers, I am less sure on.

Video four: DeathStar - Thorax Video
Though some of them use other ships as well as the Gallente 'class' they are all video's with Gallente ships in.

you got some videos posted and here is another oldie but goodie, one of my favorites, same setups don't work anymore but same ships would work
setups vary depending on what you are gonna do with the ship - without you posting showing us some of your setups here and telling us what your intention was with them we can't help you much in this respect

Gallente are one of the better races for piracy.
Minmatar have some of the best ships around for solo roaming but are severely lacking in the BS department. Gallente Drone ships (possibly Myrmidon aside) match their competition, it's just the blaster ships which are suffering currently. However, the nature of blasterships (full blown gank) is perfect for piracy and that's probably why I still frequently see them about.
Now, Amarr offers a few good ships up until recons and BS (where they shine), but really, I feel that I have to emphasize on them being few. Also, the other races offer good (if not better) options to these.
Caldari sport a very limited number of solo ships of any class and their shield tanks generally don't recieve warm welcomes in RR gangs. I'd say that if any faction's lineup of ships is ill suited for piracy then it'd be Caldari.

The BlasterThrons and NeutDomis strongly disagree.

Gallente do alot of damage and aren't as tough as amarr ships, so tend to be primary in small gang combat. I've had some good success with solo PvP in gallente ships.
Its probably more due to what you are flying, with what and against what. And your personal skill.

Vexor is win.
Taranis is win.
Dominix is win.
Megathron is win.
Ishtar is win.
Ishkur is win.
Heck yes, Gallente ships are good (been Gallente specced for 6+ years).
Great thing about Gallente is that you can swap out the blasters for rails (which need work imo but still do fine), because I like my range, but I also like my drones.
On the whole Gallente are okay.

If your always the first to die, can never solo, deal the least amount of damage, etc etc then the problem probably isn't Gallente, it's probably you. Posting a wall of text whining about it doesn't endear you to me or probably anyone else.
At 6mil SP you aren't that old, probably 6 months, but if you still don't think it's Gallente's fault then start flying Caldari or something, I'm willing to bet you can't fly them any better.
Edit: I didn't read any replies and don't really care to, I read OP and the picture above is what formed in my mind.

ok maybe stuff like the ishkur and ishtar and recon ships and aussault ships are just wtf pwn the most i can effectively use is T1 frigs, cruisers, Megathron (2 have gotten blown up with very little kills) and some BC i havent trained a whole lot into drones i think thats my problem maybe but i do have drones V and a bunch of those skills to 3 or higher but i am just off T2 drones but a lot of my points r in gunnery and could someone post some setups that could be proven effective.

As far as the title goes, Gallente drone boats are probably some of the worst for gate/station piracy since gate guns rip apart drones. But your subject seems to claim that gallente ships suck in general which cannot be further from the truth. Dominix alone makes gallente one of the best races and surely worth playing.

So you're going to have to do some actual thinking with regards to hull components and their capabilities instead of copying some cookie-cutter setup. Cry some more.
