drom range = 20km + base 25(scout) + 15(ewar) = 60km base control range, so sentryies only fire this fare under orders, to get 150 you would need: 150 - 60 = 90 / 20 = 9 / 2 = 4.5 -> 5 drone control ranges for highs and mediums for omni targeting to boost their range, not even goign to math that out.

If the Myrmidon had room for replacement heavies I would agree its overpowered. However as is, its balanced by the fact that if it leaves it drones it leave most of its dps. I think all the tier 2 bc outclass their t1 counter parts. However when not doing a 1 vs 1 comparison they compete quite well against other ships/classes and the price to dps ratio are quite good.
So to the OP: I dont think the ships are that far apart. Especially when comparing ships to actual real time battle situations that aren't straight 1vs1's.

Edited by: Xori Ruscuv on 21/03/2007 05:32:09 OK - a banned eve-o forum ***** convoed me and explained a few important and interesting points:
While it is true that the Myrmidon can: - Outtank the other BCs (except perhaps the drake) - OutDPS the other BCs
... tank and DPS isn't all there is to the picture.
Consider the Hurricane. Given its naturally higher agility and speed and the flexibility of t2 ACs, it can dictate range, giving it an advantage over the Myrmidon. Given this range, unless the Myrmidon fits T2 ACs itself, it has no chance against the faster, more agile Hurricane.
He also made the point: given that in practice, the tier 2 BCs nearly obsolete the tier 1 bcs, there is not necessarily any suggestion of intended balance between the tier 1s and tier 2s. Thus, the Myrmidon can not be considered overpowered simpily by comparing it to the Brutix. It must only be compared to the other tier 2 BCs.

The hurricanes falloff isnt enough dps to break the myrms tank whereas the myrm can use its drones,and if he gets close he gets nossed and webbed.
As for the balance read my post above. __________________________________________ Yes it is great being amarr. I am minmatar,fly amarr,use gellente drones and am in caldari space. |
