Look at Ferox, its forgotten ship. Do you think nobody flies it just because everybody is ******** and not able to fly it normally? It has such a nice sniping role, but even those 3 people who uses it fit blasters in it.

About +10% bonus because of 6 turrets. So for 7 turrents damage will be: 7*1.25 = 8.75, for 6: 6*1.5 = 9. So they got a bit higher dps. For Myrm it may be 12.5% drone bonus for example, but without lowering bindwidth in that case. Different variations possible.
Please dont forger that Myrm also holds Meds and small drones and thay also need to be calculated when you calculate DPS, because Everybody who calculates DPS calculate mostly large (not even centries).



So its time to use your own logic against you.

You argument is " Look at Ferox, its forgotten ship. Do you think nobody flies it just because ..."

Sooo basically your saying the role of this ship is forgotten and that's why its not used. I agree with you 100% the ROLE is forgotten because the role is bad. This does not mean you need to buff the stats to make it viable it means you need to change the role of the ship. IE make it more of a sniper and take something away or change the utility of the ship completely. This is how balancing works, if you don't understand this basic concept please stop reading here.

The Myrm is a well balanced ship. For its armor fit, it has tank and speed that its armor T1 counterparts do not have at the expense of DPS. For its shield fit it had speed and DPS projection that its t1 counterparts do not have at the expense of tank. CCP is not going to dumb down ship roles because you are unable to take advantage of these strengths.

These look like the worm/glia/rattlesnake changes in the upcoming patch...

Is that my two cents or yours?
