I started a PVP alt and I'm in the position to choose what factions' ships I want to fly.
Here are some details:
1. Small 3-6 Gang only, very little solo PVP
2. T2 cruisers or lower, MAYBE command ships
3. Preference for ranged PVP
Based on the above criteria, what faction would you guys recommend I train for? I'm thinking that from what I have seen so far, that Gallante and/or Minmater ships would fair the best for me.

Minnie, Arty's. Massive alpha which means massive dps for a short period (and lets face it, with a small gang you'll only need to be firing for a short period)

small gangs tend to need dps more then alpha. Gallente ftw

Er...alpha and DPS arent related that way.

What he means is, over say a 5 second period (which is how long some pvp engagements last) arties out DPS any weapon in the game.

That would mean high burst damage, and I agree that arties could work. Shame there's the range requirement since I personaly love flying gallente blaster boats, high dps, high damage / hit, drones... Alltho your gotta be at right on skin, but that just makes it more fun for me 
But if you want all of that, Crow (Caldari inty) could work for you... has range, works decendly in small gangs, is small... If something bigger comes in what you think you cant handle you can allways split with the "Sod off" option...

Pulse tbh. Zealot or harbinger can get 20-30km range with heavy pulse which is damn good for short range weapons.

And then you get HAM's reaching out to something like 50km.

Only javlin hams and they're useless tbh.
If you really keen on range Caldari is the way to go, though soloing is out.
TBH for any PVP you'll be best served by Gallente or Minmater.
Gallente get blaster, nos n drone, and sensor dampening ships. All are excellent and deadly. Gallente are the most efficiant killers.
Minmater ships have excellent flexabilty, speed and agility. Rapier & Hugin are the most useful ships you can have for any gang after some kills. Vagabond is excellent hit n run ship, Rupture is widely regarded as the best t1 frig. The minmater lose out in needing the most SP (wanting boith shield and armour skills is a real pain).

Thats not an engagement. Thats a gank.
Normal equal odds roaming gang fight can extend even to a few mins depending on ship types and how far sides will go i.e. if they run at 60% loss of gang or push till they pop.

AMARR ofcourse.
amarr owns in small gangs, because of their range on close range weapons, and their tank.
amarr is best long range because their beam is the most damaging long range gun.
and if youre going solo take curse or pilgrim.
and however said caldari is stupid, caldari at long range? sucks really much longrange.
Foulis.
DPS = damage per second so there's no ways you can compare alpha and dps.
dont bother arguing with me, cause im allways right. Well at least sometimes. |

Its obviously amarr. In a 3-6 man gang a curse for example is devastating, it will literally make all the difference in being able to kill some targets or not to be able.
Also like already pointed out the zealot is the most awesome hac between 20-30km, there is no other hac competing with its dps at that range. Then you get the absolution, which is another awesome gangship providing excellent firepower at superior range compared to most other CS.
Just make sure one of your corpmates trains for a minnie recon. Amarr pulse setups + 36km webs = teh pwn.
Pulses are the high dps weapons with the longest range, if you are able to control that range most ships that could outdps you cant even fire back. Caldari fit alot of the same criteria, but lack the dps. Nighthawk is pathetic compared to absolution, cerberus aint so hot either compared to zealot.
