How exactly does an armor tank make a better sniper? If tanks matter at all, which for sniping they really don't, you would want a shield tank so you can fit more tracking enhancers and damage mods in the lows. Sniping is about damage, not survivability.
RR BS gangs use armour reps or armour logistics. Rohk is better on paper but in reality it cannot be supported.
Edit: To be honest I kind of like this idea. My blasterboats keep missing in close range so extra tracking would be good. Perhaps the mega's second bonus could be falloff or weapons sig radius.

I've often thought similar things about Hybrid's myself BUT you have to remember that the racial weapon of the Gallente is the Drone NOT the Hybrid Turret
I'm going to have to disagree there, Gallente is Hybrid primary, Drone Secondary just like Caldari is Missile Primary and Hybrid secondary.
Gallente have a lot more hybrid boats then drone boats, frigates (including t2) there are 2 drone frigs to 8 hybrid frigs, there are 2 drone cruisers to 5 hybrid cruisers and 1 drone bs to 3 hybrid battleships.
Can't really argue drones are primary for Gallente. They do them well and have some amazing drone boats but they are secondary to hybrids in the lineup.
Yes but you're ignoring the fact that in all of the classes you mentioned the gallente ships (when compared to those of the other races) ALWAYS have the biggest drone bays and the best bonuses for drones. I myself am a gallente pilot and whilst I definitely don't always use drones for my damage I see them as my main advantage over the other races.
The shockingly small drone bay on my thorax, mega, hyperion, brutix, exqueuror, etc would like to have a word with you.
Drone damage is supplemental unless bonused, and even then most gallente ships have similar dronebays to minmatar ships and some amarr.
Geddon and Typhoon have same dronebay as mega. Hyperion has less, same as maelstrom. Brutix dronebay is the same as harbinger, close to hurricane.
If Gallente want to be a drone race, they need to have double the drone capacity as other races - so not a single flight of drones.
