Question i've been dealing with for a while now.
We have the Navy drake, cane and harbi. What i don't understand
is why they took the brutix instead of the Myrm. There's allready
another version of that BC. Any1 care to explain??

If you go back and look at the F&I threads and the dev blog, they said why. If I recall, it's what they wanted to do.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Why choosing the Brutix instead of the Myrmidon as a Navy hull?

Internal discussion resulted in favor of the Brutix since we felt it represented the Gallente combat doctrine more accurately with close range hybrids. A Myrmidon Navy Issue could also have been problematic to balance without overstepping on the Dominix, Vexor Navy Issue or even turret ships.

The navy BCs are fine.

I still cant get my head around the choices CCP made originally for the Navy issue cruisers. Amarr gets a navy omen..Gallente don't get Navy thorax..instead they get Naxy Exquerororooorrr? I agree with the Navy Vexor..I do lub that one. Scythe fleet issue though? Would not a Fleet issue Ruppy have been better? Damn caldari get that damn near HAC Navy Caracal ffs.... oh well..whatever not the point.

Im glad that they chose the navy brutix. Its a serious ball buster brawler. Had they not chose that, Then we wouldn't be getting super sexy new Myrm-based Eos to play with.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
