Gallia is...well hard core.
It's totally workable and playable in terms of difficulty and what not.
Sure they have bomber swarms...but any lawful base has just an unbelievable amount of defenses, and you can always fall back there.
On a note, Gallia is almost all Heavy Fighters in terms of combat...not VHF.
Meaning in general, more work is required to fly them... but they have a fantastic mix of agility and power.
Big ships however, are in trouble if they go off the beaten path and into bomber land.
regarding the first post.
Gallic NPCs were said to be re-balanced recently. However they do seem to swarm still.
Hopefully they are a bit easier to down though...those level 18 Light Fighters that constantly regen are just the tip of the iceberg. I mount a sunslayer torp on my Corse ship...gets rid of the NPCs faster.
But for tradeships, I dunno what to say...avoid the jump holes and hurry to nearby stations...?
