Currently there is no reason to use the Gallente over Minmitar.

All those equipment require more pg/cpu and combined with the fact that armor cost less resources than shield create a well balanced logi.

Currently there is no reason to use the Gallente over Minmitar. 25% reduction on equipment does next to nothing in standard and advanced levels, and Minmitar is better in every way since it gets a high slot with a relevant passive ability. Proto Gallente only allows you 1 proto EQ instead of ADV, and the tradeoff is lower speed(which means everything in Dust), faster hacking(amazing in Skirmish and OMS, and makes Gallente look like **** in PC), and a 4th high slot which is way better than a 5th low(Dual tanking FTW).

CCP Gallente more needs help. Statwise, the Minmitar outclasses the Gallente suit, and the passive is not strong to make up for this, while Minmitar gets an amazing passive. It's fine that the Minmitar is the best Logi suit in the game, it was meant to be and the other variants have niches the Minmitar can't do. Gallente has no niche at all in standard and advanced, and the niche in Proto is just too small to matter.

I have std gal logi with adv scanner, adv hives and std uplinks, complex plate and repper and it works well, if i'm not against full proto squads.

Apart from RP

Personal preference

Slight stat changes

Primary Armour Tanking

Aesthetics

Racial Bonus

.....

I think I summed that up.

Combat Efficiency is one thing, don't let the desire to find a new FoTM or Top Fit ruin your game.

I love my gallente logi.
Stuffing 2 complex plates, 2 complex damage mods AND 3x advanced eq on a advanced suit is not enough for you?
And i havent maxed engineering and electronics YET.

If you're using more than 1 damage mod on a Logi, you're doing something wrong, and even that damage mod isn't needed. Minmitar can already do this as well, they get a 3rd high and ADV gear don't suck up enough PG/CPU for the passive 25% reduction to mean much on the advanced level. I have doubts you're using use Complex Armor plates too, the PG will not allow it.

(Dual tanking FTW).

Thats weird, i get destroyed pretty often by Gallante Logis-Assaults.

Minmatar has more utilities,but know this, the armor tanking in the gallante logi makes it an excellent assault 1.02.
Yeah mimatar is a better logi, but logi gallante is a better assault....

The standard Gallente suit tier 1 absolutely sucks and needs change it has 0 high slots, might be the worst suit in the entire game, it is the absolute worst of all the logi suits. The advanced level of Gallente suit is much better then that, however, it still seems to be lacking, when comparing slots, armor and shields, maybe this changes with the proto suit, but the first 2 tiers of Gallente are not the best and have issues.

All suits have issues.
GAL logis are fine.

I disagree with this.

Obviously they serve different roles entirely. The Minmatar Logi is an offensive, scout-like Logi due to it's high speed, but have the downside of less health overall. The Gallente Logi is the defensive Logi that is best used as support for Sentinel(s) or other slow moving infantry.

You have to understand that they should be used in the situations that suit them the best. If you want a Logi that can support offensive actions then the Minmatar Logi is a good option. If you want a Logi that can support defensive actions then the Gallente Logi is a good option.

I like an offensive Logi better than a defensive, so of course I personally like the Minmatar better than the Gallente, but that doesn't mean that I think the Gallente Logi is worthless. The 25% reduction to CPU/PG usage on equipment is a really good bonus that means the Gallente Logi can fit pretty much full proto equipment without sacrificing other things, which means it can support Sentinels/other slow moving infantry better. The Minmatar Logi can't fit full proto equipment unless you sacrifice other things heavily.

If you're using more than 1 damage mod on a Logi, you're doing something wrong, and even that damage mod isn't needed. Minmitar can already do this as well, they get a 3rd high and ADV gear don't suck up enough PG/CPU for the passive 25% reduction to mean much on the advanced level. I have doubts you're using use Complex Armor plates too, the PG will not allow it.
