I just feel obligated to post here since the Myrmidon is my favorite ship...
When it comes down to how well the ship performs, I don't think the issue at heart is solely the problem of the Myrmidon itself, but ties into how Gallente are right now are generally UP as a whole.
Specifically for the Myrm, I find it kinda stupid that even though it doesn't get a bonus for guns, it performs better with either lasers and especially projectiles. Pretty pathetic that for a race based around hybrids that a ship that isn't obligated to use them automatically performs better without them.
When it comes down to the drone issue, I agree that giving the Myrm a bonus to bandwidth up to 100 would be beneficial, but wouldn't entirely fix the problem. Being that it relies on an active tank which makes it so slow, I find the single biggest problem with the ship is actually its capacitor. It simply can not recharge fast enough or have enough cap overall to make the ship overtly useful.
The idea about medium sentries is pretty cool idea, and would work well with a Myrm. But as said before, it wouldn't solve the problems with the ship.
Still though, I think some of you may be exaggerating just how "useless" the Myrm is. It has a great slot layout, isn't locked into using failhybrids, can put out decent DPS and run a good tank, even with the bandwidth nerf. Before it was just plain OP. I love the ship. I wouldn't bother with it if I thought it was useless.

Like I said earlier, some of you are making a bigger issue out of this then there actually is. The Myrmidon is a fine ship as is. Sure you could argue it is a bit UP, but most Gallente ships are right now anyway.
If you are worried about an unbalanced BC, why dont you take a look at the Prophecy instead. I hear that thing is worthless as anything but a bait ship (no personal experience with the ship though so Im just going on what Ive heard about it)
