Currently, I'm a PvEer who usually operates solo, but still likes the idea of fleet action open later. I've been saving up for a Hyperion, before I suddenly realized that BCs were in my price range.
I've got a few pro's on both sides. But I'd like an outside opinion.
The main reason I'm concerned with the Myrmidon is it doesn't have enough Powergrid for my tastes. On the other hand, I can get the ship now and has better bonuses.
Should I go for Battleships later on, or Battlecruisers now? |

What kind of PvE do you intend to do with this ship? Missions? Level 3s? Level 4s? Or ratting, maybe? |

The hype is very skill intensive to be effective, where as you'll be able to use the myrm alot more effectively much sooner.
For now i'd say go for the myrm, use it as a stepping stone untill you have the skill to fly the hype well, plus you can get it now too :D |

At this point, getting a Myrmidon is the best option for L3 missions, and given enough testicular fortitude L4 missions.
The Myrmi has MORE than enough PG to run an AB + dual MAR tank + 6x 200mm rails and enough space for capacitor thereof, or you can shield-tank it as well as/better than a Drake if you want to. Also, getting used to using drones now will help you when you transition to the Dominix, the best tech-1 Gallente mission runner (Dual LAR ubertank w/ guns/salvagers, Railgun + sentry gankage, etc ...) ---- WTB Armor Nerf Hardener II, 10^100 isk OBO |

Use amyrmadon first. Because the myrmadon has the same armor repair bonus as the hjyperion and te hyperion is muc more expensive. Basically i have flown both and you will notice one thing. The Hyperion is very cap dependant.
You will run out of cap in a hyperion faster then you will run out of in a Myrmadon. Basically get the feel of the ship and its bonuses. Keep your clne and ship insured. If the Myrmadon is in your price range then let the hyperion go untill you aquire the means to make enough isk to buy Hyperion after Hyperion after Hyperion.
Once you get to bc level V then use the MAR tech II, 2 or 3 depending if you are in pvp and the role you want to play. You can get over 1k armor reapired with heat on. But use heat on your MAR II's as a last resort.
Just use the Myrmidon for now and get the feel for the bonuses. So you understand the role of the Myrmidon. Then you will understand how to use it correctly in pvp. you can loose a bc and mods, but if you loose a hyperion, and get insurance. You will have to spend extra millions on guns, large armor repairs, everything costs more on a hyperion and consumes more cap in a hyperion. So use the Myrmidon first. |

Or you could shell out 15 mil more and get a domi.
DOMI >>>>> HYP in pve.
And PvP for that matter...

Unless you have a lot of skills or a lot of money, the Dominix is better than the Hyperion for PvP and PvE. However, it looks like a pinched off terd, which discourages people.
