* Stay behind or in front of the Galleon as it is a broadside ship. It is also recommended to use hull breaker ships, as the Galleon is a hull-tank with low shields. alternatively if you want to do it with little effort lure over a Decimator using a Viper it will get the job done for you. If there are few or no other pirates, the Galleon can be destroyed solo with a strong [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] such as the [[Kraken]], a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]], or a [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital]] | * Stay behind or in front of the Galleon as it is a broadside ship.

A high damaging shield tank such as the [[Lazarus]] or [[Obliterator]] is excellent for this purpose but you may still be heavily damaged or even destroyed by a larger fleet if your shields are lost. Do not warp directly to a base, stay at least 8k away from the Galleon and other pirates until it is destroyed, if you are too far it will warp to you and shred your hull. | ||
* If you cannot hide in the Galleon's blindspots, attempt to stay under it where neither its spinals or dorsal turrets can hit you. This is usually futile, as the Galleon can adjust to your position, but every bit helps. | * If you cannot hide in the Galleon's blindspots, attempt to stay under it where neither its spinals or dorsal turrets can hit you.

*The Galleon is extremely weak to long range ships. Use your turrets at a distance, and micro warp away slightly if it catches up to you. It may take longer, but is effective if your ship can’t last long in heavy fire. | |||
