I've searched around, however I haven't quite found anything stating whether a Drone Pirate would be viable.(Gallente) The drone battle type seemed interesting to me, and pirating does as well. I would love to go drone, however if it will be ineffective I'll probably just go a Caldari Gunner or Mintamar Gunner.
Thanks in advance.

There are no sub-capital ships that rely exclusively on drones. Even the Dominix, Ishtar, and Ishkur, arguably the three main drone launchers, have hybrid turret bonuses.

How effective are the combination drone/turret Gallente for Pirating is what I'm getting at I guess.

The Dominix can do some very nice damage if set up to gank, with both drones and blasters, especially considering it is a tier 1 BS. Or one can set up with a strong tank, rely mainly on the drones for damage, and use utility high items, such as energy neutralisers, to good effect.
Or one can try sniping, with sentry drones; not ideal, though.

Once you get the skills for it the nano ishtar is so much fun. Only drone damage and super agile.
Drones are awesome and should be trained on every character imho. And yes, they are effective. But only in belt piracy, 0.0 or highsec since sentry guns shoot them.

Myrmidon can't do crap without drones, but now it can't do crap with them either

drone ships are good, but expect to rely mostly on turret ships for your pirating antics as sentry guns and drones don't usually get along; most people will tell you you can't find targets unless you're camping gates, which is very far from the truth. belt piracy is alive and well (not as lucritive as it once was, but still), and mission-busting is a whole other set of challenges in which drone ships (mostly nano-free ishtar) are simply excellent.

A well configured Myrmidon will make a mess of a lot of things. On my other account I was flying a lang range fitted missioning hurricane and got caught by a Myrm on the exit of a station docking port at very close range, well within my Arty range. He tore me and my drones apart in what seemed like no time.
Of course all I should have done was not engaged and I would have been able to redock, I think. However I reacted and tried to fight him. Cost me dearly that one did.
Back in the days before Drones got nerfed down to a limit of 5 in space I got torn apart even quicker by something along the lines of a Brutix with a NOS fit and about 10 or 15 drones. Nasty.

The only problem really is the sentry's will kill your drones, so you'll need to be on the lookout for that and scoop them when they start taking sentry damage.

Before the nos nerf and before the drone nerf- drone boats were the ultimate ships for low sp. They are still halfway-decent, but nothing special.
Drones really suck near gates/stations, so a droneboat would not be my first choice for piracy.
