=Frigate=

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. It can serve as a level 1 mission runner until Gallente Frigate III is trained for the Incursus and Destroyers I for the Catalyst.

==Navitas==

The Navitas is the Gallente mining frigate. Compared to the Caldari mining frigate (considered the best racial mining frigate) it has a slightly smaller cargo bay.

{{Fittings

|name=Navitas, Mining Basic

*You can also use any other light scout drone, at best matching it to the rats you expect to encounter.

==Imicus==

{{Fittings

|name=Imicus, Exploration Basic

|notes=* Use Sisters Core Scanner Probes for better scan results if you can afford them.

}}

==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. It is also the only Gallente frigate with 3 turret slots. Turret fitted Incursus may deal more damage than a Tristan depending on missile skills.

{{Fittings

|name=Incursus, Mission Basic

* Dealing damage is not a tackler's priority, and cap should not be wasted on guns if it is needed to maintain tackle in prolonged encounters.

}}

==Maulus==

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.

{{Fittings

|name=Maulus, PvP Damp Basic

* Like other frigates, the Maulus is at risk of being popped quickly by smartbomb fitted battleships. Range should be maintained over 7,500m from battleships unless they are seen shooting from gun ports or missile launcher bays.

}}

==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 slightly worse for a dedicated tackling role in fleets.

{{Fittings

|name=Tristan, PvP Small Gang

* This fit is made to speed tank, orbiting at close range. It is useful in limited circumstances in larger fleets due to having an afterburner and warp scrambler, instead of MWD and disruptor.

}}

=Destroyer=

{{Ship|Catalyst|box}}

{{Fittings

|name=Catalyst, Mission Basic

* Rigs are optional, they are very expensive for most newbies.

}}

=Cruiser=

The Celestis is the Gallente EW cruiser. Damps have a poor optimal, and even in falloff, it has difficulty applying damps at typical sniper range. Although it can do well with range damping against mid-range snipers up to 100 km or so. Resolution damping is made much more useful with ECM on the field as well.

{{Fittings

|name=Celestis, PvP Damp Basic

*The neuts on this version are purely defensive if some small ship decides to tackle the Celestis and orbits close.

}}

==Exequror==

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.

{{Fittings

|name=Thorax, PvP Shield Basic

* With the recommended skill list, EFT calculates DPS at 313 and EHP at 13,481. Cap stable with MWD inactive. New pilots looking to get into the Thorax early should aim for 300 dps with faction antimatter and 10k EHP minimum.

}}

==Vexor==

{{Ship|Vexor|box}}

The Vexor, like the Myrmidon and Dominix, is a drone boat. The vexor is an excellent mission ship, and it can also be a good 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.

{{Fittings

|name=Vexor, Mission Basic

* The Hornet EC-300 can be handy to disengage from fights, but are completely optional. If you don't wish to train up Electronic Warfare and Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing to use them, you can replace them by hobgoblins instead to have some spare light drones.<br><br>

}}

=Battlecruiser=

<br><br>

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.

{{Fittings

|name=Brutix, PvP Shield

* Pilots with tracking disruption and EW support skills trained may wish to fit a tracking disruptor instead of the ECCM.

}}

==Myrmidon==

* Solo myrms will sometimes fit ECCM to counter ECM modules and drones. The hardener and one of the cap boosters can be switched to Warded Magnetometric Backup Cluster I and Conjunctive Magnetometric ECCM Scanning Array I.

}}

=Battleship=

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.

==Hyperion==

The Hyperion is unloved by many. In battleship fleets, remote repping is far superior, making the local rep bonus pointless. For Uni operations, it might act as a decent bait ship during lowsec patrols for pilots with too much ISK on their hands.

{{Fittings

|name=Hyperion, PvP Electro Hype

*This is an extremely tight fit. You do not need to have all level 5 to fit it however. Guns can be switched out to meta 4 neutrons to free up some room. This fit works after the hybrid turrent rebuff.

}}

==Megathron==

The Megathron is one of the best player vs. player ships available to the Gallente. With his high amount of high slots and low slots, it can fit a sporty tank while dealing out a relatively high amount of DPS. Common setups for the Megathron include "Blaster"-throns and "Sniper"-throns, the former being a close range blaster fitted ship while the latter being a railgun fitted long range ship.
