How about a compromise? The myrmidon gets it's missing fitting slot (anything but a high slot preferably) along with a little extra pg and cpu, and only 5mbs extra bandwidth and 10m3 extra dronebay storage. Perhaps if i said "Pretty please?"

5 meds + 6 lows = 11

Drake: 6 meds + 4 lows = 10
Harbinger: 4 meds + 6 lows = 10
Hurricane: 4 meds + 6 lows = 10

If anything, Myrmydon has already got 1 extra slot for no particular reason.

Drones are there to do damage. Large drone bay means the ship has to give up some highs in exchange. Just like it currenly is. By why give it an extra (11th) slot in mid/low? A mistery...

I guess you guys don't remember how OP myrms were back in the days of powerful RSD's and their 5 sentries...

I too, would like to arbitraily ignore an entire set of fitting slots to prove a faulty point.

Myrm: 6 high slots / 6 turrets (based of off using 5 heavy drones which it cannot dp anymore...)
Harbi: 8 highs / 7 turrets
Drake: 8 highs / 7 launchers
Cane: 8 highs / 6 turrets AND 2 launchers

Based off of the above alone (lol), the myrm is now missing TWO fitting slots...

Also, I flew myrmidons when they first came out, they were terrors...

Since then, the bandwidth nerf came along as well as the drone shield regen nerf (no more insta-docking/undocking your drones to full shields).

Sensor dampener nerf had nothing to do with myrms alone so I have no idea why you would bring them up unless you're using them as an 'I've been playing for who gives a crap how long and therefore my point is somehow more valid because of it' referrence.

The insta-shieldrecharge-docking combined with the sensor dampeners, along with any/all other docking games and being able to multi damp people down to less than web range were the real problems.

It's true that myrms were OP back in the day, but a great deal has changed since then. Certain balancing issues at the time were necessary, but should be re-evaluated when certain other aspects of the game change. Otherwise you get previously powerful ships locked into a role of total uselessness after other ships get improved in some way independent of the initial rebalancing.

Edit: Also in fairness, canes don't usually use those two high launcher slots. They fit neuts instead which are surprisingly effective at nullifying one of the myrmidon's bonuses.

The myrm indeed needs to be able to actually use 5 heavies again to even be useful. Medium drones don't cut it. Give it 125 bandwidth and 150 or 175 drone bay and it will be feared in the same way as the hurricane, harbinger, and drake without being overpowered.

Yeah… Drake-level tank + 750 DPS isn't over the top at all and actually puts it on par with the Drake…

Lol Humour.


Who does more DPS at 70km? :P

-Liang


The "drake lvl tank" is niche active rep that's extremely vulnerable to neut and increasing worthless as blob size grows.

The "750 dps" is at short range with unbonused guns with most of it being drones that get killed, that is, if you remove dual/trip rep tank to fit dmg mods to buff those unbonused gun dps.

Even with 75mbit bandwidth increased to 125, Myrm is still crap outside of very specialized niche, under specialized situations.


Or you could do what most people do when they say drake level tank. And you know...shield tank it. I realize it's your schtick to be deliberately obtuse in almost all things, but if you could refrain from sounding so clueless at times it would go a long way. How about you go eft warrior up a passive shield tanked Myrm then come back once you semi understand what your talking about.

I want my high agility, nos damp 5 heavy myrmidon back thanks. Not that I think it was in any way balanced.

Excellent point. Everything that made the myrmidon OP has been nerfed.

Agility? Nope, standardized, and not included in the hybrid buffs.
Nos? Nope, better use a cap booster or two (bye bye meds) and neuts.
Five heavy drones? Nope, so sayeth the bandwidth.
Sensor damps? Nerfed to uselessness, get a tracking disruptor? Oh wait, you've either got cap boosters or shield mods there, nevermind.
Instant drone shield recharge? Nope, hope you brought sparez.
Nanos? Kiss multiple low slots goodbye to be close to 'lithe and agile'.


So now that we've seen all the things that when combined made the myrmidon of old OP nerfed, why the hell are we not trying to un-nerf it?

Ok, as to drone bays:

Cane - 40 m3
Binger - 50 m3
Drake - 25 m3

Myrm - 150 m3

It swaps 2 highs for 1 med and 100 m3. That's a very decent exchange, I'd say.

I too, would like to arbitrarily ignore both bandwidth and ship bonuses to come to a faulty conclusion.

Cane: 30 Mbs / 30m^3 bonuses to projectiles.
Harbi: 50 Mbs / 50 m^3 bonuses to lasers.
Drake: 25 Mbs / 25 m^3 bonuses to missiles and shields.

Myrm: 75 Mbs / 150 m^3 bonuses to drones and active armor repairing.


Myrm can't use all of it's available bonused weapon systems at the same time, while the other BCs can use all of their bonused weapon systems AND all their available drones at the same time.

That seems fishy to me...

So what? Domies can't utilize their 375m3 bays at once, too.

Your posts are of great corelation your killboard presence. Both are meaningless.

Thank you for showing everyone exactly why you have no business posting here. Run along now, the adults are conversing.


Edit: I'm going to be nice and tell you why, Domies have ANotHeR BonuSEd wEAPOn system they can fully use. Hope that helped...

Domi just happens to have hybrid bonus instead of repping one. That's like Prophecy vs Brutix comparison, where Prophecy receives a tanking bonus while Brutix gets a damage one.

Now it might be worth discussing whether myrm needs or doesn't need 125m3 bandwidth, but stating it lacks slots is plain dumb. So, by the very same dumb logic, domi lacks slots, too?

Look at it from another point of view:

What if the Myrm has the correct number of slots, but the other three have one too many?
