Vyktor Abyss Gallente The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2009.09.28 19:06:00 - [1] I love the fool comparing DPS / HP on page one between the Myrm and Harb... Show me a Harbinger with lasers that have to fly right across the battlefield to start the DPS and can get shot and destroyed on route and then we can compare EFT values. EFT Muppets.
Vyktor Abyss Gallente The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2009.09.29 09:56:00 - [2] Originally by: Caldor Mansi Originally by: Vyktor Abyss I love the fool comparing DPS / HP on page one between the Myrm and Harb... Show me a Harbinger with lasers that have to fly right across the battlefield to start the DPS and can get shot and destroyed on route and then we can compare EFT values. EFT Muppets. That 'EFT Muppet' has obviously more brain cels than you have. 1) At least read the whole post, speed issue is mentioned. 2) Because blaster boats have dificulties to uttilize and apply their damage does not justify dmg/hp boost. That is not addressing true issue. 3) dmg/HP values must remain to keep ships balanced. Sorry nothing personal, but you've obviously lost some brain cells somewhere... 1) Your page 1 post mentions Myrmidon at Close Range, that has nothing to do with destructable weapon systems OR the fact drones (especially heavies) require an age to fly even 20km to start putting some DPS on a target, and guess what, after that target dies, its another age to the next target and so on... So using EFT figures for ship damage coming primarily from droneships is fail. It is always lower than on paper, and 2) This has nothing to do with the problems with Blasters, because it is primarily supposed to be a droneship. Remove all its turret highs for all I care. 3) The Myrmidon has a great tank. You can dual rep it - no big issue, plate it - no big issue, or passive shield tank it - which I think most people are complaining about. CCP could simply reduce the base shield HP or shield recharge time if this was such an issue. The tank is no better than a Drakes tank, but is normally better than the Harb or Cane. If they wanted to remove some grid or a mid or low to compensate for giving it 125 bandwidth then it would still be a batter and more useful ship than today because frankly 99 out of 100 times its more efficient and useful to fly a Brutix for Gallente pilots. Gimping its drones was gimping its overall function. Sorry Caldor but you really have twice now missed what the glaringly obvious problems with the myrmidon are and instead have bleated about damage to HP profiles, which to me make you look like an EFT muppet instead of someone who actually has flown the ships and has a clue.
Vyktor Abyss Gallente The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2009.09.29 11:33:00 - [3] Caldor, I'm done with you. You want to moan about blaster issues, fine, but this is a Myrmidon thread, and you've missed the point probably due to a language barrier. Ok no harm done. Regarding the Active tank - It is actually a nice choice currently between active and buffer tank due to the current bonuses. Both are viable and useful as you say Branko, but the risk of being heavy neuted makes it a real choice. The Autocannon or Laser shield tanking Myrm, is an abberation. AC makes it neutproof, while lasers gives it solid mid-range support. My opinion is these possibilities should get nerfed and its primary role as an armour tanked droneship would make it a more useful and interesting ship for Gallente. I have to say that in 1v1s the 125 Myrm was easily countered, since evryone knew that once the drones were popped, its DPS was very managable since it has no spares. So piloting was involved staying at 19km range and shooting drones etc So for me: either 100mb/125m3 dronebay with 5 turrets or preferably 125mb/150m3 with 4 turrets and a nerf to the shield HP & recharge rate. This actually puts it above a Vexor as a droneship making it uniquely focussed (Solving real issue right now), and would hopefully stop the OP aberration tank versions too.
