LOL you clearly haven't tried to solo a worm.
300% drone damage bonus and hitpoints. I've been able to kill or drive away one of every type of faction frigate in the game.
Having fought 6 different worms, I've never gotten one below about half shields. Their DPS is ridiculous and cannot be tanked for more than about 10 seconds at most by any other frig in the game if they're being flown right. Now, if I see a worm on scan, I run. Or call in at least 5 friends for backup.
The only thing stopping me from training into one properly is the hope that common sense will prevail and the thing will be nerfed, hopefully soon.

In a way they are victim of their own success as no one will fight them unless it's bait.
Why not balance them with the other pirate ships? I don't care whether the buff the other pirate frigs and cruisers or nerf the worm and gila or both. But its pretty lopsided right now.
Shoot the Drones. It is simple.
ROFL. Shoot the drones eh? Thanks for that tip mate. Good luck with it. Post a video when you make it work for you. You'll have about 7 seconds to overcome a 300% hitpoint bonus on EACH DRONE before you find yourself in structure. |

He feels that they're overpowered because of the drones, mostly in light of the recent drone buffs. That's not to say I - or anyone - agree with him, but it should answer your question. ~600 DPS isn't even that good though? Ishtars and VNIs can push 800 with just drones, and they're both considerably cheaper. I'd like to know why he feels the drones are overpowered, at all. There are only two of the damn things anyway.
Ishtars are heavy assault cruisers. VNIs are faction cruisers.
Worms are TECH ONE FRIGATES. Find me a tech one frigate that can do that kind of damage and be immune to ECM and you'll have presented a fair comparison.

The only real solution is to fly one, which I don't particularly want to do, because I like my opponents to have some sort of chance to win. |

Yes, it's a pirate faction tech 1 ship. I fly a racial faction tech 1 frig, which is a comet. They are all tech 1 frigs and supposed to be fairly much even.
Again, I ask you to find me anything that is classed as a tech one frigate, (which includes dramiels, daredevils, firetails, hookbills etc.) that can produce anything close to the stats you've seen posted for the worm on this thread. |

Y'all need to stop posting on the forums and come try to fight the things. If they're not overpowered, you should quite easily be able to solo kill one in an equivalent ship class, amiright? |
