In EVE our purpose is clear. We are ruthless close range fighters who you will never see coming. We are tactical and versatile, and we are powerful.

In Dust what are we? Who are we? We are none of the above and we are nothing beyond. A failed copy of our old Caldari brethrens we are weak, we are slow, and we stick out like a sore thumb. Our stealth technology belongs to the Caldari, our armor belongs to everybody, our close range power belongs to the Matari.

tl; dr Gallente in Dust aren't unique/Gallente QQ

Now to be a bit serious in this thread.


In EVE The Gallente balance armor with speed, focusing on active tanking to defend themselves. (poorly translated to DUST)

For Offensive measures we use Hybrid weapons, in DUST case, we use blasters devastating DPS close range weapons. (outperformed by most rifles and the two other 'Plasma' weapons are horrible.)

Another type of offensive measure we use are Drones....which aren't even in the game yet or anytime soon. Give us Sentry guns at least...something CCP (Not converted to DUST at all)

For Electronic warfare Gallente Specialize primarily on sensor dampening. In EVE sensor dampeners are in the Mid slots so they don't interfere with their tanking ability but in DUST these modules do interfere with tanking ability. (poorly translated to DUST)

Gallente however arguably have some of the best sensory ability in the game competitive with the Caldari.
The Active scanner as an equipment slot might be just the thing that does that. Our suits are passively stealth while the active module [equipment] allows us to see. (I guess that's alright if profile dampeners didn't screw with tanking)

For the more offensive Electronic Warfare Tactic Gallente use Warp prevention measures. That's blocking your ability to warp away to safety or run away quickly using a Micro Warp Drive. (Not Converted to DUST at all)

So there we have it. Out of the 6 things that I think make a Gallente a Gallente only 1 of them is present and it's offset by another closely related trait.


tl;dr In DUST 514 Gallente is the most poorly represented Race in the game, that and Amarr.
