Honestly she isn't that great. The Worm has some fitting issues, low Rocket Dmg and is not really all that fast.

For Drones an Ishkur is better for a better price. Just in general the Jaguar, Hawk, Slicer, Dramiel, Daredevil, Comet and Hookbill will preform much better in the role of a Combat Frigate.

Not to say it is the worst, it can sport a decent tank, has passable agility and it's DPS is not completely terribad.

But she is nothing special in the 60 Million Price Margin.

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Unlike its bigger brothers the Worm is a lot of meh.

In some ways its can be a faster Harpy and kite:

[Worm, Kite]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Micro B66 Core Augmentation
Damage Control II

Small Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 150
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction
Warp Disruptor II
Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters

Standard Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile
[empty high slot]
Standard Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Sabretooth Light Missile

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I

Warrior II x5
Warrior II x5

But I would rather use an ishkur in close range comabt.

DPS is about the same but it is so much faster and more agile. The complete EWAR F%@# is just icing.

Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints 6
Dravidshky Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints Likes received: 6	#8 - 2011-10-15 12:19:24 UTC I would like to see the worms drone bay bonus being replaced with a drone damage bonus like the other gurista ships and having its drone bay increased to 50m3, and maybe a role bonus for the launchers to give them a slight dps boost. At least then it would have more drone dps than the ishkur.

Seems like they effectively negated the useful part of the bonus on those ships.... thhief ghabmoef

Worm has an unbreakable tank for a frig- provided you can somehow catch and hold onto something- let your warriors do the work.

Fit like this:

[Worm, Worm fit]

Caldari Navy Rocket Launcher, Thorn Rocket
Caldari Navy Rocket Launcher, Thorn Rocket
[Empty High slot]

Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

Small Core Defence Field Extender II
Small Core Defence Field Purger II
Small Core Defence Field Purger II

Warrior II x5

You have a utility high...

As you can see, your speed sucks, and your dps sucks.. but you have a passive shield gen of 118hp/s OMG nothing can kill it <3

That's true of the Ishkur and Ishtar, though the Ishtar didn't lose anything to the introduction of bandwidth. The Ishkur used to be able to field 5 mediums, which was somewhat insane. Bandwidth also hit the Myrmidon somewhat hard, though arguably this was a very good balancing move. The real victim was the Eos, although there was a minor problem with it outperforming any field CS in combat....

Guristas ships weren't, at that time, drone ships in the first place.
