TV Evangelist	Posted - 2010.04.04 22:30:00 - [1] Edited by: TV Evangelist on 04/04/2010 22:30:40 Gallente are WAAAY op with high dps blaster ships. This is largely because armor tanking compliments blaster setups SO WELL! Blasters The damage of blasters is so far and away better than lasers or autocannons that it MORE than makes up for their range advantage. Lasers and AC's are further hampered by the prevalence of NULL ammo. Railguns Railguns get the advantage of having SPECTACULAR dps AND volley damage. All the while benefiting from SPIKE ammo which gives a HUGE range advantage to gallente bs! Armor Tanking Armor tanking really helps with the philosophy of use for gallente. Combined with a MWD it gives them unmitigated KENYAN speed towards their target, TONS of low slots left for damage mods, as well as HUGE amounts of EHP to give it time to deal it's OP blaster damage with no way for the target to escape the onslaught due to OP webs. This cannot be tolerated any longer.

Veron Kirtor Gallente Crimson Star Empire	Posted - 2010.04.04 22:36:00 - [4] I'd just like to point out that if I want to kill a player, I literally have to stick my blasters up his ass to hit anything.
Colonel Evans	Posted - 2010.04.04 22:37:00 - [5]
Chocratess	Posted - 2010.04.04 22:41:00 - [6] hahaha tons o low slots for damage eh. lets first take a look at why a t2 shield setup requires no lvl 5's then lets see how awesome armour tanking is but i agree, buff gallente plz Touch not the Cat bot a Glove
chatgris Quantum Cats Syndicate	Posted - 2010.04.04 22:55:00 - [7] Originally by: Veron Kirtor I'd just like to point out that if I want to kill a player, I literally have to stick my blasters up his ass to hit anything. But if you do that and he wiggles, you'll miss due to tracking.
Don Pellegrino The Tuskers	Posted - 2010.04.04 23:00:00 - [8] I love you :) And yes, we all know that more than half of the Gallente ships need tweaking, along with Hybrid guns.
Hiroshima Jita	Posted - 2010.04.05 03:37:00 - [9] Gallente combat philosophy is awful. Slow armor boats with short range weapons and active tank bonuses. Drone boats aren't as bad (Slow armor boats with medium range weapon systems that do ok to mediocre damage but can fit buffer, or go shield tanked and pick up some speed.) but turrets are preferable over drones these days Long ago this made sense. In an environment with few blobs active tanking outpreforms buffer setups. High dps to break active tanks is required, and you're less likely to get ganked. But now you need to be very fast to not get blobbed and ganked while solo. Armor sucks for this. Even with cloaks armor tankers are much less survivable. This is basically the reason Gallente have difficulty solo. Thats not even getting into the difficult question of if a active rep blaster setup will win a fair fight against a simular opponent. And in blobs 'active tanking' equates to 'instapop,' and 'short range high dps' equates to 'no dps on target before it explodes.' In really big blobs when you switch over to rails you get the joy of hybrids in the form of rails, which equate to 'has few benefits but all the penalties associated with all types of turrets.'
Eugenics Progeny	Posted - 2010.04.05 07:19:00 - [10] LOL! awesome thread. :P

Zilberfrid	Posted - 2010.04.05 07:22:00 - [11] A nerf Gallente thread, never though I'd see the day. Tell me, which other race has these three advantages: Very close range (needs MWD to even get there, that's some cap, this also makes fitting plates harder) Active tanking (hey, more cap lost) Weapons that use cap (Hmmm, all my mids are used by boosters, but I have no cargo to actually take enough with me, with the cargo for my ammo) There also is the large sig, made all the worse when MWDing, and largish inertia.

Rastigan Caldari Ars ex Discordia Here Be Dragons	Posted - 2010.04.05 12:31:00 - [13] Nonsense, just because a tier 1 Amarr Battleship with Tachyons can outdps and out track quite possibly the highest dps battleship in the game that also has a tracking bonus the 'Vindicator' with 425mm railguns doesnt mean Railguns arent awesome wtfpwnsauce.
Seriously Bored Minmatar	Posted - 2010.04.05 12:52:00 - [14] You're going about this totally the wrong way. Gallente needs stealth nerfs, which is how CCP likes to do it to them. For instance we could put a stacking penalty on trimarks, make 1600mm RT worse than 1600mm II, or reduce MWD speed to 400% because people keep fitting them waaaay more often than Afterburners still. I'm sure there are other ways to stealth nerf as well without ever touching hybrids or hybrid ammo.
Tagami Wasp Caldari Sarz'na Khumatari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2010.04.05 12:55:00 - [15] Agree, railguns are OP. ------------ +15% to railguns' dmg modifier -reduce Spike optimal bonus to 70% +10% to Caldari railboats PG
FireT Gallente As Far As The eYe can see Chained Reactions	Posted - 2010.04.05 13:48:00 - [16] Could you enlighten me as to what my Gallente character has been doing wrong then? Oh wise TV Evangelist!
Empire Wolf	Posted - 2010.04.05 14:28:00 - [17] Originally by: Tagami Wasp Agree, railguns are OP. just out of curiosity whats the current state of railguns, i inted to make a gallente drone platform but i also want to try sniping from a gallente ship? i only know that autocannons are a lot better then blasters that are dramatically up since their dmg difference isnt big
Baneken Gallente Aseveljet Sev3rance	Posted - 2010.04.05 15:34:00 - [18] Well I think rats don't shoot drones hard enough, maybe they should attack drones as soon as you launch them and ignore the player like sleepers do. After all lvl 4 AFK missioning in domi is outrageously profitable these days.
Chocratess	Posted - 2010.04.05 17:04:00 - [19] anyone know if ccp is going to address hybrids any time soon? While i'm an avid drone user, i still need my guns every once in a while Touch not the Cat bot a Glove
Duchess Starbuckington	Posted - 2010.04.05 17:19:00 - [20] Originally by: Chocratess anyone know if ccp is going to address hybrids any time soon? While i'm an avid drone user, i still need my guns every once in a while Get in line behind rockets. _________________________________ Originally by: Dodgy Past Can't see the Caldari approving of free love though.

1600 RT	Posted - 2010.04.05 17:31:00 - [21] 0/10 too obvious
Seriously Bored Minmatar	Posted - 2010.04.05 18:33:00 - [22] Originally by: Duchess Starbuckington Originally by: Chocratess anyone know if ccp is going to address hybrids any time soon? While i'm an avid drone user, i still need my guns every once in a while Get in line behind rockets. I'd prefer the weapon system used by two of the four races at all ship sizes gets fixed first, not that either of our preferences matter. And sadly, I haven't seen any mention for a Tyrannis fix for either of the weapon types...

If you want decent range from your blasters, load your blasters into your railguns and fire them out the railguns. There's a reason why Gallente have huge cargo holds. ----- "Are you a sociopathic paranoid schizophrenic with accounting skills?

Trader20	Posted - 2010.04.05 19:16:00 - [24] Hybrids and armor tanking are fine, just like op said, now move along everybody..... and ppl with tracking issues, fit dual web/scram ffs
Eugenics Progeny	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:01:00 - [25] NERF!!
Tyrone Bighams Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:04:00 - [26] Stand up for the rights of free gallenteans everywhere!!! rally, well change CCP's minds! In all honesty, TV Evangelist has a series of excellent points, and wreathing them in sarcasm shields them from trolls who dont want to see a balanced game, and rather prefer to get free kills on every person who accidentally trained gallente way back when. 10/10. best damn post ive seen all year CCP. Hear my prayer from atop your bone strewn tower! Boost Gallente, for they have become free kills in todays fleet warfare due to poor range, ineffective webs, and terrible speed. Do this and yo
Outsourced Telemarketer	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:06:00 - [27] 10/10
Tyrone Bighams Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:10:00 - [28] Originally by: 1600 RT 0/10 too obvious obvious troll is too obvious CCP. Hear my prayer from atop your bone strewn tower!

Captain Ziltoid	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:13:00 - [29] Does "OP" stand for "Overpriced?" Because with the current state railguns are in, I would have to be paid to use them... Viva La Revoluci=n!
Jovialmadness	Posted - 2010.04.05 20:14:00 - [30] Originally by: Veron Kirtor I'd just like to point out that if I want to kill a player, I literally have to stick my blasters up his ass to hit anything. why would you want to even stick your blasters up anyones buttocks. What are you a freak? I'd so be switching to minma....wait I mean amar...wait caldari I mean finally. Now that is a prop..hahaha..er pvp race.
