I'm afraid not. If you're getting half of your damage from turrets on your Myrm, then you must have abysmal drone skills. My suggestion is to train more drone skills (drone interfacting will give your drones a significantly stronger dd hit, drone ss will have them hitting more often, etc.).
I checked the DPS for Mymridon with maximum skills and no damage/control mods, no implants, using Hammerhead IIs and Heavy Neutron Blaster II with Antimatter charges using EFT.
On paper, the total DPS is 490.6. Blasters contribute 253 of that, Drones 237.6.
I do concede that the only way that total DPS can be achieved is if the Myrm is hugging its target at same time as its drones orbiting said target.
Switching to 250mm Railgun II in order to homogenize the engagement range as the Drone control range require Iridium charges and contribute 95.5 DPS for a total DPS of 333.1 |

Is that with bigger drones? I know that bigger drones have tracking penalty against smaller targets.
Use light to deal with frigates, Medium to deal with cruisers/battlecruisers, and so forth? |

So a flight of 5 lights is inferior to a flight of mediums when swatting down Frigates in a destroyer's intended role? |

I was praying for a khanid missile boat, but if they are going to make it another arbitrator / curse, they need to make drones faster at the very least, or it will be a very poor anti frigate platform indeed. ;( Oh yeah, that remind me. They said no Khanid for Tech One ships. That make me a very sad Khanid character. |

Caldari:
Removed one high slot and launcher slot, gained one mid slot - thus layout now is 7 / 4 / 2, 7 launchers
Oh great so a model that already has spaces for 8 launchers will have an annoying blank space just like the drake.  Couldn't you balance it by cutting back on tank or its bonuses? Why'd you have to go and ruin the beauty of a row of 8 launchers? Anyway isn't missile damage supposed to compensate for the fact that they are useless at long range? They removed the launcher and the slot, and moved it to a mid, so there's no blank space in the highs.
He meant the visual model. If the model was made to depict 8 launchers when you equip them, then if the visual model isn't adjusted when you reduced the maximum number of launchers; it will show an empty slot on the destroyer's model where an eight launcher should be visually. |

The case against: That would be for the Minmatar, Amarr or Gallente, since Mythology is common in their ship names. I applaud this name being applied to a model though. A wild Caldari Destroyer appears: If there's anyone listening, I would recommend an endangered sea bird species, like The Albatross: 'The albatrosses and petrels are "amongst the most severely threatened taxa worldwide' according to http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006320703001782 and more importantly, this jewel about the Black-browed Albatross, a mildly endangered species ' This species has been observed stealing food from other species'  as stated by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-browed_Albatross#cite_note-Poncet-14Other choices include Pelican and Shoebill (because Shoebills look badass), due to their taxonomic relation to familiar names as Ibises and Herons. Btw, something curious for you Devs to joke about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_heronLooking forward to these ships. The albatross is too large... a small destroyer shouldn't be named after one of the largest living birds on earth. Shoebill is nice, but too close to the already existing Hookbill. Pelican just doesn't sound aggresive enough. Since it looks like a submarine, why not name it after something fishy? I'd like the name "Swordfish". Kingfisher, Kite, or (to use an extinct bird as a mythical creature) Kairuku, Titanus (A Terror Bird species) or Seriema Terror Birds' closest living relatives that prey on small creatures. |
