Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

The Atron is the Gallente attack frigate.  In August 2012, it was updated to add additional slots and given an activation cost reduction for propulsion jammers.  It can serve as a level 1 mission runner until Gallente Frigate III is trained for the Incursus and Destroyers I for the Catalyst.

The Incursus is the typical PvE and PvP frigate for Gallente players. It is faster and has a better scan resolution than the Tristan, which makes it better for tackling in PvP. It is also the only Gallente frigate with 3 turret slots. The Incursus will likely deal more damage than a Tristan for pilots without Drones V.

The Maulus is an electronic warfare frigate, specialized in dampening. Its low locking range makes it ineffective at range damping snipers. However, it can resolution damp effectively with the help of ECM in the fleet.

The Navitas is the Gallente logistics frigate. Like it's cruiser counterpart the [[Exequror]], it specializes in remote armor repair.

The Tristan is an excellent frigate for PvP and PvE. It is a dedicated drone boat - the only T1 frigate that can operate 5 drones - and thus requires high drone skills to be flown effectively. It is also slower and has less scan resolution than the Incursus, making it slightly worse for a dedicated tackling role in fleets.

Introduced with the Retribution expansion, the Algos differentiates itself from the Catalyst most notably through the spacious drone bay, available drone bandwidth, drone-based bonuses, and longer targeting range.

The first Gallente destroyer. Differentiates itself from the Algos by being blaster oriented; able to easily deal 900 DPS

The Celestis is the Gallente EW cruiser. It can be made surprisingly tough for an EWAR cruiser with its 5 lows. Its extra lock range and bonus to sensor dampener range makes it considerably better at range damping snipers than the smaller Maulus.

Although Gallente ships are usually better armor tanked, the Brutix benefits from a shield tank in several areas. Low slots can be dedicated to gank modules to increase DPS. The shield tank Brutix also has the advantage of being faster than an armor tank, which means it can get into the short blaster range sooner.

The Myrmidon can also be an excellent PvP ship, though the damage potential is less than the Brutix with most fittings. The myrm is sometimes used in PvP with dual or triple reps. The Myrmidon has a 100 mb drone bandwidth. Ogres may have difficulty tracking targets smaller than battleships, and travel time can also be an issue depending on the initial engagement range. Pilots without T2 ogres may wish to use hammerheads, valkyries, warriors, and ec-300 drones in their drone bay instead.

The mission Dominix fits are cap stable with Energy Management IV, Energy Systems Operation IV, Controlled Bursts III, and Fuel Conservation III (for the afterburner version). The single LAR tank version should be used in easier missions and the dual LAR in harder missions. Although as your skills increase and you become more familiar with L4 missions, you may want to set up some mission-specific fitting variants. Some people prefer heavy drones, other prefer sentries. Try both and upgrade whichever you prefer to Tech 2. If you use sentries, you should consider fitting some Omnidirectional Tracking Links in mid slots.
