I recently saw an Eos in a C2. I assume its armour rep bonus was useful for tanking, and with that many drones in its bay, who cares if they get eaten by sleepers, amirite?

Me, I shall buy the ass out of an Eos and go produce lolmails with it.

Funny thing is that with two drone damage mods on a myrmidon and 2 magstabs on an eos they put out roughly equal DPS when the myrmidon uses pulse lasers and scorch. Yeah, I bothered looking at it. I use my eos for running L4s from time to time (which is something I loved doing with the ship before it got nerfed) which is about the best use for it I've found. I'm not saying that it's a good use, merely the best use I have for it.

That said looking at the myrmidon and eos in light of doing L4s and short of doing kin/therm-heavy opponents the myrmidon wins out. Hell, looking at it from an anti-Sansha/Blood/whatever perspective and I get numbers where the myrmidon does equal raw damage and lower raw tank, but thanks to not needing to get into blaster range can afford to run an AB as part of the tank while the eos really needs an MWD. Likewise the myrmidon can fairly easily fit an extra drone mod in the mid slots over the eos. Those combine to probably give it a comparable effective tank and supperior effective DPS.

Granted it's a fleet command ship, not a field command ship, but that's still kind of sad.
