The Myrm needs a larger drone bay.
With no damage bonus to guns, and no replacement drones in the hold... its going to be VERY simple to pop its drones and leave it with frankly pathetic DPS.
25m3 more than Vexor, 275m3 less than Domi... for a the ship in between the two? Don't be naughty.

Use your brain - the moment it gets a 125m3 drone bay it can dish out the same DPS as the Dominix. With this ship, you either need to use 4 heavies or have 2 waves of mediums. Replace the armour rep bonus with a 25% hybrid damage bonus.
Regarding the Drake, I suggest it get a 25% kinetic missile damage bonus instead of a launcher ROF (which equates to a 33% dps boost for all missile types). Also, take off a mid and add a low - it doesn't need anywhere near 6 midslots to be effective.
I haven't had a chance to properly look into the Amarr one, so I won't comment on it.
'Same DPS as Dominix'. Really, Mr Exclamation Mark. What insight you have.
The Dominix can EASILY top 1000 DPS. In fact, it is in theory the highest DPS ship in the whole game. Havent you trained large blasters yet? I recommend you do. The Dominix is more than simply a Nos boat. The bonus to large hybrids should not be wasted.
I'll tell you what anyone with the slightest bit of PvP savvy will do when they see a Myrm in its current state: They will pop the drones and render it utterly useless.
100m3 simply is not big enough for a ship which is mid-way between the Vexor and Dominix.

Originally by: LC Sulla Why not give the Myrmidon the drone bay it needs and then restrict the drone bonuses to only light and medium drones (thus leaving the Domi as the heavy drone boat).
Or perhaps 7.5% bonus to heavy drones, and 10% for meds and lights.

Originally by: Pichemanu The myrm dose not need bigger drone bay!!! It can carry 10 meds which is more then enough.
It is a BC not a BS so it should not be able to field the same nr of BS drones as specialised drone BS. Arguments such as "if u shoot it's drones it's crippled" have no point, What happens if u shoot a domis drones? or a vexors? or an arbitrators? The SAME thing, the ship is left crippled.
How fast can u shoot down 10 med drones? I don't oppose replacing the rep amount bonus with some sort of hybrid dmg (be it dmg, traking or rof), but this ship really dosn't need more drone space.
The brutix can field 5 medium drones, and 7 T2 medium blasters with a dual rep tank.
The Myr certainly DOES need more drone space, or I'm never getting out the Brutix.

My mistake, it should have been "Same drone DPS as a Dominix".
And by the way, just because you got slapped about in the corporations and alliances forums doesn't mean you can act like a ***** in the other forums.
And why exactly would the same drone DPS be a problem, when the Domi can have 6 large blasters with a nice damage bonus to call upon?
Regarding 'slapped about'... its always good fun being smacked by BoB when you have spoiled their circle jerk with some reasoned arguements. Judging from the quality of your own posts on here, I will assume you are one of their alts.

Then don't :) Stick to ur close range ship that dose moderate dmg at distance and be kyted by mymidons with rails and drones that have a bonus on them. Another variant would be that u get capdead by a myrm with 3/4 med nos, am curious what will power those 2 med reps and 7 balsters then.
Oh and btw: a vexor can use 5 med drones, and a thorax can use 5 med drones and 5 t2 blasters. PLS have the vexor use 5 heavydrones or i will stick to my rax :))) (edit) Isn't this the same logic?
Regarding Mrymidon V Brutix...
A blaster Brutix with 5 medium drones does not do 'moderate damage'. It kicks out fantastic damage, over 700 DPS in fact, more than any other battlecruiser and indeed many battleships.
Also, exactly what threat will a rail ship be? If its too far out, I warp away, if its close, I would MWD up to him, and crush him.
There is no way a competent blaster Brutix pilot would lose to a Myrm as it currently is. The drones would die in seconds, and the Myrm shortly afterwards.
Nos won't make any difference, as if you fit Nos and rely on drones, well once the drones are gone and your DPS is zero, what are you going to do? The Brutix will cap inject, and a few seconds of 700 DPS later the salvage ship will be poking at your wreckage.
Thats why you need a second wave of drones.

When you start being constructive, I'll start to like you.
My last message was pal, it was after a suggestion of a fellow Gallente of yours.
YAYYY 
I know I'm just feeding the troll here, but seriously, you need to grow up. Reading your posts makes me cringe. You have contributed nothing to this thread but ignorance and flames.
Anyway, on topic: The Myrm clearly does need a larger drone bay, or SOME kind of change so that it isnt useless when the drones pop.
As it stands, there is absolutely no reason to use a Myrm rather than a Brutix. Way lower DPS and an extra mid just doesnt cut it. I'm not even thinking about the drones because any competent pilot will instapop them knowing full well they are the only real DPS on the ship.
