It's why god invented microwarpdrives...

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15173664 - look at this. It should have been able to neut my wee brutix to oblivion. Not at all, because I got myself a warpin point with a falcon and dropped right on top of it just as it focused a cycle on said falcon. The pilot didn't even have a chance to scream.

Gallente ships are brawlers. If you NEED to move, you're doing it wrong.

delete this thread im already training to WINMATAR just alot of people arnt as patient as me so just quit eve once they realise they have picked a mostly dud race.

Nothing wrong with Gallente. They only really suck in large-scale fleet warfare.

you do realize gal ships with mwds cant be flown without capboosters.... so rl question is.... how long you last without them and die horrible

You do realize that mwds don't need to be permarun in 95% of combat situations.
You also realize that most Gallente ships, being armor tanked, have ample midslots for a cap booster.

im pretty sure alot of these fanbois are eve devs on alt forum toons :) it must get frustraiting with people crying improve this nerf that do this do that but i really dislike the gallente game style and would really appreaciate an SP reset. kthxbye.

Any idiot that tries to tell you to fit an MWD on anything but winmatar ignores the fact that the Winmatar will have one as well and the best you can do is make him use it. He doesn't care because he doesn't need that cap for his guns.

Wat.

How to prevent kiting:

• Fly away from him, when he attempts to maintain disruptor range, turn and burn at him, otherwise just warp off if hes an idiot.


• Juke his orbit by paying attention to his direction of motion and manually piloting.


• When engaging, warp to *him*, not the grid he's sitting on. If you don't have that ability, get him to chase YOU to another grid.


• If he dual props, let him reach his optimal and hit his AB. Then hit your MWD. He ain't going anywhere.


• Don't ******* MWD straight at a MWDing ship that is faster than you.


• Learn that your Falloff is pretty goddamn useful.


• etc

I get the impression the extent of your PvP knowledge comes from static "pvp" on undocks and gates. The hunt is more than half of it, and appropriately warping in is a pretty damn big factor.

That should keep you busy untill his gank boy bum buddies show up and melt your now capless ship.
Been there.

If you juke a kiting ship properly, it will evaporate.

If you have cap problems with a freaking MWD, you have bigger problems.

Protip: never chase a vagabond. Its exactly what he wants you to do. Make him chase you to another gird and surprise him.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying you aren't right, most of the time.
We don't get to dictate our enemies, baiting Minmatar fleets is fail because they will "steal" the bait and skin out anyway.

The fundamental principles of EVE combat favor Minmatar. Sure, other races can squeak a kill out here and there if the matar pilot gets sloppy but overall Minmatar will run the field.

I take it you've never fought a competent amarr pilot.
They kick some serious ass by doing exactly the opposite of what minmatar do. Flying into the optimal of a properly fit amarr ship is generally suicide for a minmatar one. And they have BIG optimals.

Gallente? put it in good hands and nothing will survive the unholy DPS output. All it takes is knowing how to warp in properly.

Caldari? What's tracking? WHEEEEEEE

Nothing wrong with Gallente. They only really suck in large-scale fleet warfare. They in fact kick some ass in small gangs and solo - and against stupid opponents (extremely common), they are in fact easily the best PvP race.

Here is my counter arguement to the op.


Curse.

That is all.

As far as I'm concerned there are only two types of characters in this game.

The Gallante and everyone else.

I've never had a Minmatar pilot fly in to my Amarr Optimal.
Ever.
And they don't need to.
Conflag Pulse is 15 km. That's Large. Why would any Minmatar pilot get inside 15km? Even by some stroke of luck one does, the refire damage is never high enough to break a shield tank before he gets out of that range.

Both Armor tank fleets are plate based so keeping up to them long enough to break thier shield seldom happens. I have seen, in person, with my own eyes, ONE Minmatar ship tank 10 laser ships just by beating them with transversal and Invulns. He didnt kill us but we couldn't even kill one of them with 10:1 dps.
Unless you can get a web on them or a Hic Bubble (have a Devoter/ devoters off grid) you don't beat them.

Not really, Gallente = best form of tackle in large fleets Ares/Lachesis = win mode and I absolutely love them on my fleets.

You can shield or armor tank their recons as the slot layouts make it extremely easy. Try getting an amarr ship into a shield fleet effectively.

Oh, you poor, deluded man. Gallente are the best ships to fly, IF you know how to fly them...
