Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

The Velator can be used to go through the first tutorial missions, although upgrading to a frigate in the Military tutorial as soon as it is offered is recommended. A civilian shield booster will suffice for the first missions, although beyond the first few missions in the tutorial, civilian modules should never be used.

Damage Control I

Civilian Shield Booster I

75mm Gatling Rail I, Antimatter Charge S

==Frigates==

Frigates are small fast ships, used mostly for pve in level 1 missions. They are used mostly for tackling and electronic warfare roles in pvp.

===Atron===

The Atron is the Gallente fast frigate, although only having two mid slots makes it unloved for tackling in pvp despite its speed and high scan resolution.

Small Armor Repairer I

Cap Recharger I

75mm Gatling Rail I, Antimatter Charge S

[empty rig slot]

===Imicus===

The Imicus is the Gallente scanning frigate, though it boasts a 15 m3 drone bay, enough for 3 light drones. Some players who train drone skills early will use if for level 1 missions instead of the incursus or catalyst.

Small Armor Repairer I

Cap Recharger I

75mm Gatling Rail I, Antimatter Charge S

[empty rig slot]

Hobgoblin I x3

===Incursus===

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.

Small Armor Repairer I

Cap Recharger I

125mm Railgun I, Antimatter Charge S

[empty rig slot]

Hobgoblin I x1

Scout Drone Operation I

Overdrive Injector System I

Warp Disruptor I

75mm Gatling Rail I, Lead Charge S

[empty rig slot]

===Maulus===

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

Capacitor Power Relay I

Remote Sensor Dampener I, Scan Resolution Dampening

Small Nosferatu I

[empty rig slot]

===Tristan===

The tristan is an excellent pvp frigate, but requires missile skills to use effectively, which many Gallente players will not train early in their career. It is also slower and has less scan resolution than the Incursus, making it a worse tackler for typical Uni fleets.

Overdrive Injector System I

Medium Shield Extender I

[empty high slot]

[empty rig slot]

==Destroyer==

It is also used as a suicide gank ship by outlaws who participate in the Hulkageddon event.

Micro Auxiliary Power Core I

Cap Recharger I

125mm Railgun I, Antimatter Charge S

[empty rig slot]

Hobgoblin I x1

* Switch the Micro Auxiliary Power Core I to Adaptive Nano Plating I (omni tanking) or Reactive Plating I (to fill the explosive hole in armor tanking) if you have sufficient powergrid.

* Fit three Small Capacitor Control Circuit I rigs if you can afford it (requires Jury Rigging I).

Co-Processor I

Cap Recharger I

Salvager I

Small Salvage Tackle I

The low slots and rigs on a salvaging boat can vary. The co-processor is only needed if you are lacking cpu. The capacitor power relays help running the modules for longer periods of time, especially if cap skills are low. Some people will insist on putting cargo expanders in low slots, but this usually only becomes necessary in level 4 missions where battleship-sized loot requires more cargo space to store. The salvage tackle rigs can be changed to capacitor control circuit rigs if cap runs out too often.

The Thorax is the first ship newbie pilots should look at to fill a damage dealing role in pvp fleets. Its bonus to MWD cap and high DPS potential make it an excellent heavy tackler.

400mm Reinforced Steel Plates I

Warp Scrambler I

Heavy Ion Blaster I, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M

Hammerhead I x5

* If you're missing CPU due to not having Electronics IV and Weapon Upgrades IV, you can upgrade some modules to a higher meta level to reduce cpu required. You could also use a 200mm plate instead of the 400mm.

* Faction ammo is not required, but the benefit to DPS is substantial. A full load of Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M (600 rounds total, 120 rounds per gun) costs around 600,000 ISK. More rounds are rarely needed, but having 2000 additional standard antimatter rounds in case of ratting or long engagements is recommended.

===Vexor===

The Vexor is also an excellent pvp ship. For low skill pilots, it is usually easier to get DPS out of the Thorax, even with more skills in drones than gunnery.

Medium Armor Repairer I

Cap Recharger I

Drone Link Augmentor I

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Hobgoblin I x4

* Drones IV is recommended to start running level 2 missions.

* Rigs are relatively expensive and they can be left out when starting level 2 missions if you have insufficient ISK.

==Industrial==

The Iteron line of ships, from I to V, are excellent haulers. The Iteron V when rigged is the industrial ship with the largest cargo capacity, although for most players and Iteron I or III will suffice. Industrials can be used to store mission loot and salvage, to haul at a later time and sell at a trade hub for more ISK than can be made in most backwater mission stations.

Expanded Cargohold II

Medium Shield Extender I

[empty high slot]

Medium Cargohold Optimization I

* An Iteron III fitted like this is a moderate skill investement, and can carry up to 17,672 m3.  

Although Gallente ships are usually better armor tanked, the Brutix benifits 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 faster.

Tracking Enhancer I

Invulnerability Field I

Heavy Ion Blaster I, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M

Hammerhead I x5

Tracking Enhancer II

Warp Scrambler II

Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I

Hammerhead II x5

* For large Uni fleets with its abundance of warp jammers and webs, the warp scrambler can be dropped for a second Large Shield Extender II, though this may require a Reactor Control I instead of the Tracking Enhancer II to fit. A second shield extender will give about 10k more EHP. For most gangs, the scrambler is recommended.

The Myrmidon can also be an excellent pvp ship, though the damage potential is much less than the Brutix. It can have a decent buffer, and some myrmidon pvp fits have double or triple repair modules. Myrmidons can also be fit and rigged for speed with a shield tank.

Armor Kinetic Hardener II

Cap Recharger II

Drone Link Augmentor I

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

==Battleship==

==Tank & Gank==
