Originally by: Reldor Silverheart Gallente isn't meant to shieldtank thos by design, thereby the CPU on teh ships. And frankly how many gallente ships do you actually shield tank as gallente? myrm, domi, any i am missing but those are the main i think.

Making ultra turbo solo tanks which can't do DPS is making failboats essentially speaking. A active armor tanked, eg. Brutix is a piece of rubbish. Shield tanked with neutrons it's one hell of a mean ship and easily the best Tier 1 BC.
[Brutix, it kills things] Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II Damage Control II
Warp Scrambler II Invulnerability Field II 10MN MicroWarpdrive I Large Shield Extender II

Medium Ancillary Current Router I Medium Ancillary Current Router I Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Hammerhead II x5
I'd actually swap those Hammers for Valks; that was for EFT comparison.
Trust me; the Brutix is a solid shield tank.
And don't tell Pottsey that Gal isn't a shield tanking race; it won't go well for you.
The Myrm and the recons are the only ships I'm truly disappointed in (BC 5, all racial cruisers 5, all but Amarr frigs 5, Gal BS 5 (but only for the Domi; no T2 large Hybrids), AF 4, Inty 4, HAC 4, Recon 5). Granted, no Gal frig can match a Rifter, but oh well; nothing can. Just grab a Rifter. And then either a DD or the-ship-that-shall-not-be-named-for-fear-of-derailing-another-thread.
The very fact that the best fits for a Brutix are shield tanks that completely ignore it's tank bonus is an indication of the problem in the first place.
Perhaps it should just loose the armor rep bonus and get a tracking bonus for it's second bonus. and the Myrm could get a drone bandwidth/bay bonus instead of armor rep as well then we it would be less an concern.
I've already decided that as a Gallante that I've got to get shield skills which is going to delay my getting back to ship and offensive skills by an extra month. So much for Gallante being primarily armor tankers.
