While I admire your effort and vision of making Gallente worthwhile to fly, I have to disagree with some of your execution.
Some specifics-
Wouldn't an AB speed bonus on battleships (the Kronos for example) bit a bit overpowered when compared to the rest of the BS when running missions? I'm all for a blaster BS that can run down mission runners, but some people might complain...
The Lachesis- I would suggest *not* messing with the missile bonus, or just make it an all missile ship instead. I don't want an optimal bonus to my crappy railguns. It already has a horrible time running/fitting 3x 250mm t2 railguns, that do horrible damage as it is. It's 3x launchers and it's launcher bonus is the only thing keeping it from being useless. I use it all the time to solo mission running BS, solely because it has missile launchers and I can tune the damage type to the target. I suggest dropping the 3x gun hardpoints and adding in 2x more missile hardpoints and keeping your suggested 10% RSD bonus.
The Hype as a buffer tank? Why? We already have a buffer tank in the Megathron. One of the things that I like about the Hype is that with a single active rep and some rigs I can tank the gate guns 100% solo. Sure, it's right on the edge, but with the right setup and max skills it can be a good gate fighter for piracy. If any changes were to be made, I'd suggest increasing it's damage bonus and reducing it's drone bay even further to 7.5% damage per level and around 75m3 of space and 50m3 of bandwidth. That would make it even more gun-biased, which would make it different from the Megathron, much like the Abaddon is different from the Geddon.
As for the AB bonuses on the Brutix and Astarte etc., why not just give them a double damage bonus? I'd take that any day over an AB speed bonus. Is it a lot of DPS? Sure. But look at the tons of drawbacks these ships have with respect to their dependence on MWDs and their lack of range. They have a myriad of weaknesses and only one real strength. I vote we should maximize that strength.
