So after a hiatus mainly caused by being ganked constantly I have decided to try to turn the tables and try my hand at pirating.
I have around 11mil skill points, mostly in spaceship command, gallente frigate, cruiser, and bs at all 5, then gunnery, then drones.
I have been watching pvp stuff and reading around a little and mostly it seems people are min. Is that just the most common, or with the nanos, is it the only real way to go? Just wondering if gallente is still viable? Right now training weapon upgrade 5, so I have the options to get into a hac.

pvp is so big to uncover. but I can say 1 thing: use a ship that your willing to lose. Also, use a ship that you got good skills at. besides those general tips, yes gallente is still viable.

Ishtar is awesome, so is a Phobos. And I hear Deimos isn't bad in lowsec either...
Also Domonix is one of the best battleships in the game, as long as you don't have to tank gateguns.. they tend to raep drones fast. And you probably already know about the blasterthron anyway...
As for ships you should start in, t1 fitted thorax/vexor is awesome and costs you about 1-2mil after insurance? Also don't train minnie, they're getting nerfed all the time to oblivion. After nano nerf they'll be near if not useless.
Oh also join SniggWaffe. :P ---

I think he still is stuck back in the days were a nano dom was able to orbit like a frig
I see a lot a Nuet domis kicking ass still. Signature removed. Inappropriate content. Size of all signatures must conform to the maximum allowed size of 400 x 120 pixels and 2400kbs file size. Navigator |

Wrong. Domi with nuets and t2 heavy drones is a very good ship. 1 v 1, it is very hard to beat.
Mega is awesome, hyp is good (but too expensive to risk without really good skills).
Myrmi and Brut are both good with the right setup/skills (make sure you have t2 guns/tank/drones with both).
Rax and Vex are excellent learning ships. Cheap and very effective for their size.
Deimos is a waste of ISK. You can get the same firepower in a brut for much less ISK and better tank.
Ishtar is good, but nano nerf will soon make it not so much.
Arazu is fun, but very expensive. (gonig to be even better after speed nerf).
That's all I can think of for combat ships. Lots of choices for you. Convo me in game for setup tips, I don't like to post them on the forums).

Gallente are still one of, if not the best races in the game.

Gallente still kicks ass in pew pew, always has and probably always will. The Vexor and the Thorax rock for cruisers, the BC's are both good, the BS's pwn, and the HAC's \ HIC are good. Gallente has a good ship in every class except Recons

You clearly are closed minded...try a neut domi with a variety of drones, and you'll be fine. Try something other than the cookie cutter setups that USED to work. _____________________

Edited by: UberNero on 10/09/2008 20:18:51 Currently a gallente pilot. Fly a 400+ DPS thorax (i still gotta get those t2 medium blasters) And fly a Neut/RR domi for gang support.
5.5mil SP and can solo and hold my own very well pirating. Also take a look into the taranis, its a great solo pirate ship. Has speed for avoiding those situations and with a decent fit can do 200DPS easy. 300+ if overheating and or deciding to make some sacrifices and fitting small neutrons instead of ions.

Thorax is a really nice ship for starting out in. T1 or best named fit it and you'll come out pretty near even on the insurance when it dies. I have a corpmate who did some pretty crazy stuff with his, he had about 10 kills on cruiser class and higher ships before it finally got popped by a gatecamp.
