In about four weeks the Megathron will be the final Gallente hull to drop from eve-kill.net's Top 20. It's currently at 16 with about 1/10th of the kills as the Abaddon (No. 1 right now).
Why are Gallente hulls not used? They don't dominate their intended range (close range) and in return can get kited really easily due to speed, range, fitting, and tanking issues. We've heard them all before.
So how can Gallente dominate their intended range? Here's some suggestions:
1. Better tracking from blasters.
2. Tracking bonuses to drones on all Gallente hulls. 5 small drones from a Gallente hull should count for more than 5 small drones from another race's hull since drones are the Gallente's preferred anti-frig defence.
3. Bonuses to webifiers in some form (rigs perhaps?)
4. Easier fitting requirements for Gallente weapons so they can use what they were going to use for a fitting mod for tracking enhancements and/or webifiers instead.
5. Boosting baseline speed so that if the Gallente hull wanted to "nano" it up a bit, they would be able to go as fast as their Minmatar counterpart if they were to, say, fit the same number of overdrive injectors (+12.5% speed) as the minmatar ship fits nanofiber internal structures (9.4% speed increase) (I'm looking at you, Myrmidon and Brutix!).
6. Hull rigs (to catch up with trimarks and CDFEs) to increase EHP so that damage/tracking mods and webifiers could be fit on the ship instead of tanking mods. This is very similar to 4) above.

Fully support Post No. 77. These are great suggestions for boosting Gallente hulls.

eve-kill is down atm, but last time I looked, Drakes and Hurricanes were more common than Maels and Abaddons, and when you look at the overall top 20, ships that are primarily used in small-scale fights are noticeably more common than those used in fleet warfare. Even with a massive allwar on, large-scale fleet pvp (probably) accounts for a minority of all kills in the game, and tier 2 battlecruisers really are ubiquitous in smaller fights.

Abbadons have overtaken Drakes. Megathrons are now at No. 20 and will likely be off the list next week. On a high note for Gallente hulls, the Lachesis has pushed it's way up to 19!

After weeks of a minor comeback all the way up to No. 18 on the list, the Megathron has dipped back down to the 20th most popular ship on eve-kill.net. On the bright side, it's still the No. 1 Gallente hull on the list!
Now that Incarna feature has been deployed, please abandon it (like all other features you implement) and FIX GALLENTE INSTEAD!
