I am planning on making a PvP Myrmidon for group fights. I was curious if someone could give me some tips on what drones I should use. I have maxed out drone skills and the related electronic warfare ones.

Thank you in advance for any tips and advice.

For Frigs you use Warriors. They have the best Tracking and Speed so they can keep up and hit the target.

With Larger target the Hammer Head can keep up and does the most Dmg.

For emergencies you'll want ECM Drones to jam there point off.

I use the following for for a Myrm.

Combat

5x Warrior II
5x Hammerhead II
5x Warrior II
5x Hammerhead II

Combat + Ewar

5x Warrior II
5x Hammerhead II
4x Warrior II
3x Hammerhead II
5x E-300 ECM Drones


Cheap

5x Warrior II
5x Hammerhead II
5x Warrior I
3x Hammerhead I
5x EC-300 ECM Drone

For the standard combat, wouldn't it be better to use the following?
2x Ogre
5x Hammerhead
5x Warrior II

This allows you to get maximum usage out of the Myrms bandwidth (50 + 20 + 5) while at the same time having your 5 HH's for cruisers and the 5 warriors for frigates.

I forgot that loadout. I use Arbies more then Myrms which have a 50m2 Bandwidth. That and I haven't trained T2 Ogres yet so it is not worth it.

Your missing 25m2 of Drone Space.

2x Ogre
5x Hammerhead II
5x Warrior II
2x Warrior II
1x Hammerhead II
1x Hobgoblin II

The Ogres are for Launching against Battlecruisers and above. The Optimal Launch DPS pattern is:

2x Ogre
2x Hammerhead II
1x Hobgoblin II

But if you do not have T2 Ogres go for 5 Hammers. Also Launch Hammers if they are more then 20-30km away as the travel time will cut into the Dmg. This is less true if your gang is fighting a Carrier. On Battlecruiser only launch Ogres if you have them Webbed because they only have a 1km/s MWD speed so most can outrun them.
