Because shield tanked blaster boats perform very well. You should take a look at Deimos vs. Vaga, or Talos vs. Tornado. |

They lack something. Namely support
Shield tanked Brutix has 0 free High slots, 0 free med slots for any kind of support. No neutralizers, No e-war.

oh god, another one of these threads
Blasters are good, individual Gallente ships could still use some tweaking. Re-work the bonuses on ships like the Brutix/Hype, and the fittings on ships like the Deimos, and you're all set. |

How is this different from a shield tanked Vaga, or a shield tanked Drake, or basically a shield tanked anything? (Okay, you can argue that the Vaga has a neut which the Brutix doesn't, but the Brutix gets more dronespace)

The flexibility for more DPS or more utility has always been there - people just don't feel that they're allowed to take advantage of it. As for me, if they gave the Brutix another high+turret slot I'd almost certainly put a turret in it most of the time. :)

It's a big fat slowboat BS without 90% webs trying to hit small stuff with large guns. What role does it have in "small gang" other than station games? BS as a class is lol in small gang those days. It's crap compared to a real small gang boat in anything. |

Confirming that a ****** fleet filled with fail fits with no context or circumstances provided going up against T2, Faction and Pirate Faction Ships are a good measure of what what a race can do.
I don't know perhaps that purger rigged Hurricane, T1 fit beam Harb, and T1 gunned Thrasher are all part of a Super Secret PvP setup. I am interested to know how they planned to use that survey scanner.
I mean perhaps I am further mistaken when I noticed that the defeated side is from a virtually unknown Alliance with less kills combined then I have (Which isn't much ) and more then twice as many losses as they have kills. Maybe a fact made worse when the other fleet was made up of Veto Corp, Rooks and Kings, Pandemic Legion, oh and you were there. o/
So ElCholo well you were kicking this unknown Alliances Fail Fleet with a combo of pretty prominent PvP Groups in rather expensive ships is that when you realized that these good folks truly represent the best PvP opposition to your fleet? They must have put on one impressive performance I dare say. As Survey Scanning Harbingers are well known to do.
Edit/ Know what, I know I suck at PvP but I am just gonna take a moment and pat myself on the back for being single handedly better then this entire Alliance. Thanks EnCholo that was a much needed ego boost.  |

You don't see that they had twice that number and carrier support... because we didn't lose anything. Troll on fail troll. :)
And you pointed out another good thing. You are right, we are a skilled group. Going against folks like the EFT trolls in this forum who say that Gallente aren't good. We are proving that competent pilots in Gallente ships are capable of taking on the crap drake and minmatar blobs out there. |

Anyone is capable of taking out crap fit fleets flown by pilots who don't know what they are doing but Ok. 
I guess you proved me wrong taking out those elite PvP'ers with your humble fleet. Balance should always be decided in a contest between the best PvP'ers and the worst.
I do have one question though. Why post the destruction of a fail fleet as confirmation of anything instead of a properly organized and fit gang flown by a good Alliance? |

That's the funny part. I'm far from the best. I'm about average. I just PvP more than I complain on the forums. I'm trying to show people on the forums that if they would pvp more and complain less, that they could get good fights too. And they would also see that all ships are good, you just have to come up with a good fleet for them, instead of expecting them to all do the same thing in the same way. |

And that's where you begin to miss the point. These ships are already agreed as being good at station/gate camping and if they can be dropped at zero in a relatively small engagement. But that's less than 5% of eve. For 25% of the player base who are Gallente, and for however many of the Caldari pilots that have discovered they have turret ships too. Why should the weapon systems of choice for such a significant part of the players be sidelined? |

You really don't have a clue, do you. :( The point is that we are roaming, not station/gate camping. Roaming is what a large portion of Eve does. It really saddens me that people just don't get the big picture. |

I hate to use profanity, but you, sir, are a moron.
With 115 m/s base speed and 900 m/s mwd, before plates and trimark, plus major agility problems, Hyperion is nowhere close to the speed of HACs and BCs in a small gang.
There is one BS that can keep up with the BC/HACs in a small gang, it's called a nano phon, look it up.

Edit: Of course you can't see we were out numbered since we haven't lost anything. *shrug* I'm pretty sure nobody wants to die just to get both sides of the story.
Sentries killed a bunch of tier 3 paper BCs whose large guns can't track small boats. Oh and they caught and ganked a nano fit gang booster Claymore. Yays.
Hey, at least it's better than your last example of shining Gallante OPness, of t1 beam fit Harby with a roid scanner.

Confirming that what you said is true about the majority of people who fly Minmatar and who complain that Gallente is under powered. What we are doing is proving that Gallente can best other fleets by flying competent and cohesive setups. If you don't like that this can happen then you are on of the former pilots and are unable to compete with them by creating your own competent and cohesive fleet setup and fighting the larger group of pilots with your wits.
First you complain that Gallente are under powered and then when shown otherwise you complain that the people flying the Gallente are only picking on unskilled players. Yet, what you can't seem to grasp is that most of the people who spam fly Minmatar ARE in skilled players who only fly what everyone tells them is the fotm.

Another faceless alt. I sound like them except that we are fighting every fleet we come up against. Your argument is in error since most of the fleets you come up against will be like these that we have fought, not armor-ewar-ham drakes. |

Sidelined? Maybe you station camp and do little more with Blasters but roams are where I love to take mine... IMO people are just used to how broken Auto cannons are that they forgot how to actually fly a damn ship... Oh no! you mean I actually have to FLY this thing instead of hitting the orbit button and drooling on my keyboard!?

What the hell. Blasters benefit as much (if not more) from tracking enhancers as Projectiles. They're not sidelined, buff them even more and they're going to be the next FOTM. The only issue is with armor vs. shield tanking - shield tanked Gallente ships are really really good, while armor tanked ones fall flat because of lol-brawl range (Edit: and that goes for projectiles too)

Confirming the gang ElChocolo et al. are running with is pretty good. These days, you can stuff a 1600 AND neutrons on a Deimos and it cooks at 1500m/s at least. Its every Deimos pilot's dream come true.
You have uber webs on the Ashimmu, with neuting. So you've got tackle and cap warfare sorted. A couple of logis for tanking because, luls, they will primary the Deimos so their pants don't fill up first and jam their F1 keys - i mean, tanking 2 Deimos's isn't easy. Stabber fleet for bait/tackle and sig tanking.
That's a pretty nice gang. You're all jelly, forum alts, because you haven't figured out how to run decent gangs. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. Sun Tzu
