Originally by: Davinel Lulinvega Wow the people white knighting the myrm in here are amazing. 75m3 drone bay is crap. 1/2/2 mix of drones is crap. The only thing that keeps the myrm from being totally useless right now is that it has a ton of mids and you can put lasers on it.
In my experience, the Myrm does ok with that drone bay...I don't use lasers on it and I do just fine. Light Neutrons with Void S in conjuction with the "crap" combo you talked about do 536 EFT DPS...You need to move into scram range, give drones time to reach a target etc. but to be honest outside of fleet fights I rarely find that a problem. Sure, a gank Harb can do over 600, but could it tank 666 DPS like a triple rep Myrm can? All I'm saying is the Myrm has its advantages just as the other battlecruisers do, even if you can't see them.

Myrm is ok.
BC Class is one of the best balanced.
The Myrm is still outclassed by EVERY other tier 2 battlecruiser, fly a Drake.

Myrm is a good ship, but I just cant bring myself to fly one anymore because I always remember what it used to be like fielding 5 heavies from them, so these days I just caugh up the extra bux for an ishtar

And how much eft dps do you do when sentries kill your drones and all you have is your crappy frigate guns loaded with eft ammo?

Myrm is a fantastic bc. Basically every BC besides the prophecy is pretty damn good.
Triple rep myrm ftw (swap t2 mwd and 1x best name injector for t1 mwd and 1x t2 injector so save a few isk).
Forget strong exile, standard is ~4mil a pop. Small blasters, small pulse or medium AC all work great, if you use one of the small gun sets you can get a medium neut on there.
Obviously you're not going to be insta popping ships with sentries against you in a drone boat with a tanking bonus. However, that sure doesn't mean the ship isn't any good, it means you're picking the wrong ship for the role.
I swear, you have the randomest complaints with eve.

Sentries? What are you talking about? Oh I see, you're bringing specific circumstances in. Either I start countering each point you make about what could be going in a fight until one of us gets bored and leaves the computer, or I can say, I'd rather not participate in such a silly argument. I'm going with the latter.

I bring in sentries because a fit like that is comedy in a 0.0 gang and empire wars are a joke, so that basically only leaves lowsec.

Outclassed is a pretty vague term when you deal with EVE ships, especially when dealing with ones which like you said, are as balanced as the Tier 2 BCs. Each race, ship, gun etc. has it's own disadvantages and advantages which shine in the right circumstances. I can happily say after flying every Tier 2 BC, I cannot rate one above another overall.

Often in piracy you have to engage 'under gate guns' this means tanking said gate guns until you kill your target(s). Obviously gate guns shoot drones once drones are dead you have no DPS bar your frigate sized guns and they are doing **** poor DPS. Also you are using Void which is terrible. (Unless shooting BC or bigger targets in which case the increased size and reduced speed of the target sort of counteracts the tracking penalty on void, though it is still pointless.)

Originally by: Davinel Lulinvega And how much eft dps do you do when sentries kill your drones and all you have is your crappy frigate guns loaded with eft ammo?
Stupid argument is stupid; sentry engagements vs ships of equal size rely on the opponent being a horrible noob, in which case small blasters or D180s work.
Gang engagements are a different game, and bringing your uber personal tank boat is not a good choice for those.
If you want to do sentry engagements in gangs, (arty)Hurricane is where it's at; it has better EFT DPS then the Harbinger in a 24km sphere due to Hammerhead IIs being a notable portion of the Harbinger's DPS, while the typical 5x Warrior IIs on a Hurricane are more of a anti-frig emergency measure then anything else, and a arty fit will pull ahead on real damage dealt, since it won't have to spend ~15 seconds of doing utterly horribly crap DPS like the AC Hurricane will, easily compensating for the DPS difference in most typical engagements.
The whole "oh but sentries eat drones" argument is crap. Saying "this ship sucks because there's a scenario where it sucks" is about as LOL as someone trolling every gunship thread with "useless because of TD Curse". Under sentries is just one of the ways to fight, and it's a crappy way unless you're in a gang of sufficient size.
Since the rep fits are obviously geared for solo (or bait, in some cases), it's preety much of a moot point.

Frigate sized void hits cruisers just fine (that said, D180s are a better choice for a triple-rep Myrmidon). In ANY CASE, triple-rep fits are not gang fits, and you are NOT going to solo gatecamp in any BC hoping to kill other BCs, unless you exclusively pick on <3 month old players.
You get in engagements which suit your chosen ship+fit, since no ship+fit is good in every situation. Ganking stuff under sentries is not one of the Myrmidon's strong points. Attacking Harbingers in a nanocane isn't one of the nanocane's strong points, while the same Myrmidon will **** it. Different strengths, different weaknesses.
Also: engagements under sentries suck hairy monkey balls, and are only really viable if you outclass the opponents enough this or that way.

Which is why you only release your drones when you're engaging someone...I don't know about you guys but if I were to tank sentry guns waiting for a target, I'd have my drones in bay
Oh, and the tracking penalty on void brings the tracking on Light Neutrons to roughly cruiser sized blaster tracking. My point being they track just fine.

As you said, rep fits are obviously geared for solo, so I think bringing up sentries in lowsec is quite valid. I also like how you call me out and then in the same sentence go on to say that small blasters are good because you can use anything to kill a horrible noob. And then you compare fighting under sentries to fighting against a curse. Because obviously saying that one ship is useless against another ship and one ship is useless in an extremely common situation are the same thing. Finally, if you actually read what I posted you might notice that I was saying that that particular fit was garbage, not making blanket statements about the ship itself.

I'm not. I'm trying to find a Myrm setup that fits my parameters. TBH I think the Myrm could sacrifice a few turret slots and gain another 50m3 in bandwidth and up the drone bay space to 250m3 and it would work out ok. Right now it's focus is too divided between guns and drones. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Bring up sentries in low-sec is quite invalid when we discuss solo. We're talking about battlecruisers here, not battleships. Solo BCs do not mix well with sentries.
There's nothing "extremely common" about fighting under sentries in a solo BC, unless you're killing haulers and various smaller crap anyway (or are -10 and sitting there letting someone else aggro first).
There's nothing particularly bad with that particular fit, except that small blasters need to get switched to D180s really.

Originally by: Bellum Eternus So I ask you, is 465 DPS and a 518 DPS tank pretty reasonable for a BC? I don't fly them that much so I'd like to know what to expect out of them. With the advent of medium sized rigs it's become practical to rig BCs now, and I've been wanting a lighter weight ship to chase war targets in empire. I think this might be a good option. Let's see some feedback please.
WHAT? Battleship like damage with battleship like tank?! NERF the myrmidon (summore). (/sarcasm).
I, like you, decided to try and right the Myrmidon. So I came up with this horrible fit.

The Myrm is still outclassed by EVERY other tier 2 battlecruiser, fly a Drake.
Outclassed is a pretty vague term when you deal with EVE ships, especially when dealing with ones which like you said, are as balanced as the Tier 2 BCs. Each race, ship, gun etc. has it's own disadvantages and advantages which shine in the right circumstances. I can happily say after flying every Tier 2 BC, I cannot rate one above another overall.
Please feel free to post your Myrm fit and I bet it will be easy to post another tier 2 bc's fit that does the same thing better, and that is what I mean by outclassed, hardly 'vague' at all. I can also fly every tier 2 bc and can happily say it is not hard to rate the myrm as the worst of the 4.
Originally by: Neuronai
In my experience, the Myrm does ok with that drone bay...I don't use lasers on it and I do just fine. Light Neutrons with Void S in conjuction with the "crap" combo you talked about do 536 EFT DPS...You need to move into scram range, give drones time to reach a target etc. but to be honest outside of fleet fights I rarely find that a problem. Sure, a gank Harb can do over 600, but could it tank 666 DPS like a triple rep Myrm can? All I'm saying is the Myrm has its advantages just as the other battlecruisers do, even if you can't see them.
The Myrm is slow, a Drake moves faster. Bringing a myrm to a fleet fight is fail right there. For what you propose (moving into scram range, release the drones...) a Brutix is way better. Lets see these advantages of the myrm - the only one I can see is a bit of versatility for small gang 0.0 roaming.
Edit: I'm not proposing a change, one tier 2 BC has to be the worst and in this case it is the Myrm.
