As I said in another post, Drake is comparible to the cerb, in fact all the tier 2 BC are comparible to the HAC they most resemble in each race, thats all except the Myr, compare it to a Ishtar, all I can say is

The only logical reason I can see for the Myrs pathetic drone bay is CCP not wishing it to use heavy drones.
Now that being said, WHY shouldnt it be able to use 5 heavys? doing the math this will only put it on par with the damage potential of the other tier 2 BCs, so whats the problem?
So lets say it can now field 5 heavys, those 5 heavys are pretty easy to kill, especialy with the fights being made longer now, so it realy needs to be able to replace lost drones easily right? surely this is only fair as we cant exactly shoot the guns/launchers off the other ships.
So now we have worked out that 5 heavys is in fact quite fair, and it realy needs to be able to have multiple waves of drones so it doesnt become completely useless after a few have been shot, also if it warps out it instantly loses all its damage.
So, why cant it have a Ishtar sized drone bay? why would this be so bad? why cant it have 5 heavys, 5 meds and 5 lights in its bay?
Realy not understanding why some people are so anti big drone bay for what is a dedicated drone ship.
s said above all the other BCs are comparible to there HAC brothers, Cerb vs Drake, according to most numbers etc the Drake is on par if not BETTER than the Cerb, so why cant the Myr be more like a Ishtar than the Vexor its more currently like atm?

Jesus, how anyone can say Myr is fine as it is, is just being rediculous.
Honestly I dont get it, I realy dont, and why it shouldnt be able to replace lost drones, I swear people just want a ship thats an easy target.
"I know if I flame all the people being constructive about the Myr, when Kali goes live I can scan every single one of them down and wtfpwn them w00t, easy kills 4tw !!11!"
As someone said earlier, remove every single high slot for all I care, as long as it can BE a drone ship, atm its NOT a drone ship.

Originally by: Max Hardcase Myrmidon : Change drone bonus to 15%/level for medium and light scout drones ONLY ! Up the the drone bay to say 125 or 150m3.
No worries about using teh ebil heavy drones so they can unnerf the drone bay volume. The Drone bonus is now right in between the Vexor and Domi, which makes sense since a BC is right in between cruisers and battleships in the order of things.
Fixed ! Next problem please.
Still yet to see a good reason why the Myr using heavy drones makes it overpowered.

well, T2 weapons ARE harder to fit, while T2 drones only have skill and price as drawbacks.
No, they have low dps, delayed damage and the fact they can be shot down as drawbacks.
Also the ships that have drone bonus's also have lower fittings and less slots than those that dont.

Originally by: Noriath I think the Myrmidon is the ultimate proof for the fact that having the amount of drones a ship can launch and the amount of drones a ship can carry be the same basic stat is not a very good system.
Ships should have a number of controll points that limit the number of drones they can launch, and the bay should be independent from that, so that you can have a carrier that uses medium drones without having to ruin its ability to have backups so it doesn't launch heavies instead...
Huh?

Myr is "supposed" to be a dedicated drone carrier, its the ONLY dedicated drone carrier in the entire game (discounting carriers) so it realy should have a monster drone bay imho, its like saying lets make a dedicated missile ship, but only give it 3 launchers.
So now it can field 5 heavys, thats great, but what about replacements? it can already field 5 heavys, so where is the imbalance to allow it replacements/a choice of drones?
What would be realy cool imo would be to make it a dedicated drone boat, which its supposed to be, capable of deploying different types of drones depending on the situation it finds itself in.
In a gang and lots of frigs, drop webbing drones, some heavy hitters drop some ECM drones, need extra damage drop some heavys, longer ranged engagement drop some sentrys.
Make it a swizz army knife capable of fielding lots of different drone types.
In other words, give it a decent drone bay heh.
