Gallente The Aduro Protocol

No jk ;) The whole reason for this thread is just to stroke Gallente. We love 'em. They're multifaceted, they have drones, and they generally kick ass. The simple fact that they are so much fun to look at paired with the fact that they are so much fun to fly makes them a true paradigm to EVE.
One of the reasons I love Gallente ships so much is for their spacious lowslot fittings, along with a generous highslot rack to fit with. The midslots are generally ample. [flamebait]Having an extra midslot on the Myrmidon though would be nice. (Can we say Navy Myrmidon?)[/flamebait]
I want to analyze my favorite ships in EVE, and they're almost all Gallente.
Frigates:
Maulus - This ship is so much freaking fun to fly because it's like the Celestis' little brother. It's a lowgrid, high CPU frigate that can easily fit great EW and even some guns, along with a very light tank. And 10m3 dronebay? Yes please. What you've got here is versatility for really, really cheap.
Rifter - Yeah, it's not Gallente, but this ship is arguably one of the best frigates in the game. Fast, reliable, and harrowing, the Rifter can dish out eye-bleeding speeds and sufficient damage to make even cruisers cry.
Kestrel - Another non-Gallente boat, the Kessie is hands down the top damaging frigate in the game. Get behind the wheels of a fully fitted t2 Kestrel and you're going to have larger ships without webs crying for mercy.
Atron - This is a flippin' FUN frigate to fly. The setups on this little ship are limited, but fun nonetheless. My favorite setup on my beloved "Battle Atron" consists of nothing more than 2 75mm Railgun IIs with Spike and a gistii MWD with 2 t2 Overdrives and a warp disruptor with a CCC for cap backup. It's fun as hell to fly that thing around.
Ishkur - Woo, drones! We Gallente love drones! When I hit the drone skillpoint ceiling a few months ago, I FELL IN LOVE with this ship. Wailing out at a shredding 275 dps with drones/ions, this little flying needle stabs into the heart of millions, being the smallest ship in EVE to control up to 4 medium drones (Or 5, but 4 mediums beat 5 lights.)
Destroyers:
Catalyst - Of course, being the only t1 Gallente destroyer out there, of course I love it. Railguns ftw! But seriously, I was sad when I found out it could only have ONE light drone. It's a destroyer ffs, make it destroy things. Give it a 25m3 dronebay, but no drone bonuses, and I'd be a happy panda *n.n*
Cruisers:
Navy Vexor - HANDS DOWN funnest t1 cruiser to fly ever. Cmon, seriously. Can you say omgwtf experimental ship? The possibilities on this thing are endless. The Vexor also has a place in my heart, but the Navy Vexor straight takes the cake (and pie) because this ship has the sweet center of a Goddess. DPS + Tank and it's all tech 1.
Exequror - Light armor meets heavy capacity. Fitting one of these out with a mining laser and then a 1600mm plate with 3 light neutrons, web, scram, magstab, drones and an afterburner makes this ship a menace to unsuspecting pirates. Sure it won't last long, but it'll sure shock your opponent ;)
Rupture - DPS, DPS, DPS. Seriously. Fitting suicide ruptures (or even those with a more conservative dps and more of a tank) are hilariously overpowered. It's great ;D What's even more hilarious is the fact that CCP hasn't beat on this ship's grid with a nerfbat yet ;p
Battlecruisers:
Myrmidon - Admittedly when Kali came out, I kept the Myrm at arms length due to the cost (okay I bought one for 80 mil). But once the price started to drop, I found myself flying them more and more.. and pretty soon it became my long lost love. In a nutshell, this ship is simply the best of all things when cruiser-sized modules are concerned. I believe also that this ship is partly to blame for the rise in costs of cruiser support modules. It just does everything. Let's fit 2 nos, 4 guns, 5 drones.. then a tackle and tank. Oh yeah, this ships rocks ;D |

Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 19/06/2007 11:25:21 Brutix - The now all but defunct Brutix still has a great place as a warship, people just use it less now. Fits great with rails or blasters, and has a respectable CPU base to fit a variety of modules with. An all around fun ship to fly :)
Eos - Best battlecruiser in the game. It may not be a moving station, but this thing dishes out more DPS than any other ship it's size. To boot, it can tank damned admirably. This thing is a scary ship to encounter. And yes, it beats the Astarte 1v1.
Battleships:
Dominix - Being a pain in the ass generally, the Domi enjoys a reputation of much grief. hehe ;D Drones + Nos + Tank + F you.
Megathron - Blasterboats ftw! Hyperions are overrated ;D You've gotta stick with your roots and just fly the tried and true.. the Megathron. We love you! You're sexy! What's even more sexy..
Vindicator - Pure power. Defined. This ship is like, the best in the game. Sadly it has to be a battleship, but those stupid Caldari could never get anything right with that silly Navy Raven. Haha I laugh at that thing when behind the controls of this. You say 8 torpedoes? I say 7 Mega Blasters and a tank that makes Shrike cry. Muahhaa ;D
Okay, enough of me going on and on about how awesome Gallente are. Have a nice day!

Can't believe no love for the Incursus, i love this ship, best T1 frigate out there for me no doubt. 3 Tk II Ions, Tk II drone, and a nice big 400mm plate. And also it seems to survive being NOS'd by other frigs too, taking them down before the cap dies. I just can't bring myself to fly any other frig (plus i think it looks cool with all those guns stuck on it).

Yes, I must say, putting a Gistii MWD on an Atron? Not me!
Because I said so...

Um .. isn't that a 25m setup on a T1 frigate? Wouldn't the Ares be better while only slightly more expensive?
Celestis is certainly one of the most underrated ships in eve. I think you've encouraged me to have another go with the Maulus for fun.

Woot Gallente! But you inexplicably forgot to mention one of the most fun cruisers to be had!
The Thorax may not have the survivability of the Vexor, or the versatility, but few cruisers are more fun to fly. Even without a drone bonus, its five medium drones magnify the pain the Thorax can dish out with its five ion blasters (or neutrons, if you don't mind forgoing any kind of tank).
Its staying power may not rank up there with nossing crusiers, but the Thorax is nevertheless a joy to fly.
Also, love for the Maulus, but not Celestis?

QFT- i love it.
also i used to love the brutix, but now the myrm out damages it, out tanks it and u can fit more on it...
i think gallente would be a little more balanced with a nos nerf and a small blaster dps increase, then rax = best :p

Gallentes are fun fun fun that's for sure. Nothing like barrelling toward your target on MWD ***** with blasters and drones screaming away.
And now we can do all that with overloaded modules!

Edited by: Alski on 19/06/2007 13:21:01 I used to love the brutix so much, one of the best looking ships in the game imho (if by "best" you mean Evil looking)
I just can't bring myself to fly one anymore though, i spend most of my isk makeing time in lowsec running exploration, and as such mwd's are a no-no (needs to work in deadspace) and its just too damn slow with an AB-II for PvP, esp. compaired to its chances of getting locked down at a gatecamp.
And then for a dedicated PvP i can think of at least 4 or 5 other ships i'd rather fly instead for a simaler or lower cost.
Love it... can't find a use for it... sad.
The Enyo or Ishkur however.... Rawwwwwrrrrrrrrr -

You forgot the imicus. That ship is so versatile , can do anything from ore theft to probing mission runners to tackling and killing them. And it's a T1 drone frig !
Plated rax is a cheap all around pwnmobile , and the celestis is classy.

Apart from being incredibly awesome ships, the most amusing thing with Gallente ships is that they all look like seckstoys or blowdryers. :D
