Why no Navy-Myrm?


Well, probably because it wouldn't be any better than a Navy Vexor unless they give it some serious heavy special abilities that make it a drone boat like there is no other, or they abandon everything the Myrmidon Hull is known for. Which would be fun actually. Covert Ops Smartbomb Bonused ship with infinipoint!

well i can see the problem. The navy brutix is just a normal brutix with some beefed up attributes whereas all the other navy bcs get something a littler different (except cane which i also disagree with, just lazy design tbh)

I really don't see the problem here... People bitched about the active tank bonus on the normal brutix, so ccp releases a navy brutix with another low, 50% more hp, and a tracking bonus. Like wtf, I hate like 90% of this community

The problem is the price. Trading tank for tracking makes it the perfect glass cannon with neutron IIs and a token shield buffer, but that's the kind of thing you do with a cheap T1 BC not a faction BC. So it would have been great if the Brutix had the tracking bonus and the Navy Brutix got a tank bonus and +1 low, but as it is a faction Myrmidon would probably be better since its design concept would be more likely to survive long enough for an expensive faction ship.



No it isn't. Remember that MWD speed (which is what counts) and agility depend on the ship's mass, and the Navy Brutix is lighter than the other faction BCs. It also has significantly better agility, so in a "burn the last 5km to get into web/scram range" situation the Navy Brutix will be much faster to turn and accelerate to catch a target.

Over short distances, yes it is. If my top speed is higher (remember the mass difference) AND I accelerate to top speed faster AND I turn and align faster then in a short race to web/scram range I'm going to win. The Brutix isn't designed to kite all day, it's designed to sprint into point blank range and gank you.



Depends on how far out of range you are when you warp in.



Because medium gun tracking makes a difference, and because the Talos is going to get nerfed.

Besides, I already said that price is the problem here and that this set of bonuses would be much better on the standard Brutix (with the faction one getting the rep bonus), but whether or not a ship is expensive has nothing to do with how fast it is.

Navy glass cannons? With what, more glass?
Prophecy rocks enough, so the Harby would seem like the right choice to have a navy version.
Also, keep asking for a Navy Myrm and CCP might raise the bandwidth requirement for sentries.

Brutix being the Gallente choice does seem a little odd considering all the others were the old teir 2s. Theory crafting inside me wonders if they plan to change the Eos model to the Myrm (which makes sense considering the bonuses).

If there are no tiers how come it costs more to build a talos over a brutix, or a myrmidon?
They tell you there's no tiers, I can tell you there's 1000 angels dancing on the tip of a pin, that doesn't necessarily make it true.

Also that would make the 4th(player) ship to use the Brutix model. While myrmidon is all by itself. They don't care about what roles the regular ship has. Hell I'd still have preferred navy myrmidon in a gunship version over yet another brutix model ship.

Remember Myrmidon is
V
E
R
T
I
C
A
L

On the contrary, I feel like the navy myrmidon would totally eclipse the navy vexor. They would both be able to field a set of 5 heavy drones, but the myrm would have more gun dps, more tank, and more versatility.
