The Thorax provides a balanced slot layout and strong damage potential. Its five low power slots make it more suitable for armor tanking.
The following fits are intended for young players who are just training into their first Gallente combat cruiser. The cost should be under 30 million ISK in a trade hub such as Dodixie.
You'll want to train Gallente Cruiser and Medium Hybrid Turret to at least level 3, in order to run combat sites like the Serpentis Narcotics Warehouse. Training Drones to level 5 is extremely helpful. The railgun fit is capable of completing the Serpentis Phi-Outpost, so long as you keep your distance from the large mob of NPCs.
Engage at a range of 15 kilometers with Antimatter charges, or 45 kilometers with Iron charges. Use keep-at-range against frigates or destroyers, or orbit against cruisers or larger ships. The capacitor is sustainable for about 12 minutes, depending on your skills.

Get up close and peronal within 5 kilometers with Antimatter charges, or switch to Iron charges to hit smaller targets more easily. The ship is cap stable, so the armor repairer can be run indefinitely.
