My thoughts on the myrmidon.
make the drone bay 125 or 150m¦ or add a bonus to hybrid turret damage to make up for the lack of drone space.
thats my 2 cents.

After some further testing of the myrmidon. I think 150 drone bay should be the max. otherwise with a lot of the proposed changes it would just be a giant vexor. I have both drone and gunnery skills and using them in good conjunction with each other, the myrmidon is a pretty powerful ship. The big thing to remember with this ship is. dont rely on drones for 100% of your damage. the turret slots are there for a reason. Look at the Dominix it is both a good drone and hybrid ship. Same with the Eos and Vexor. I am a gallente pilot. When my guns fail then i use drones, but then again i rarely miss.

Guys if you really want a drone bay that big, just get an Eos.....
Remember the myrmidon is to teach hotshot pilots not to charge into battle, it is meant for long range with drone support. So get some gunnery skills and learn to use T2 scout drones, of maybe mix up your drone bay a little and try not to rely on 1 type of drone. Try 2 heavies and 3 medium scouts. It's called strategy try to make the best of what you have, or use rigs and drone upgrades. Thats what they are there fore.
I only say this because it seems everyone is only using heavy drones and not trying out different setups or new ideas. Since the myrmidon gets no bonuses for turrets, try mixing up what turrets you put on there. Try putting on some lasers or projectile turrets. That is the beauty of the myrmidon it is very dynamic. So now kids go out there and re-evaluate your fittings. Quit using the same overused strategy over and over.

Myr:switch out current bonus to +10% bonus do everything on drones? 120m3 Drone bay :-D
Excellent Suggestion, 200m might be a bit much... given how many spares you would be able to carry but 120 would give stupid people the chance to carry 5 heavys and get owned by small fast ships, or those with the knowledge of how incredibly oversized drone sig radius's are.
Smarter players would be able to carry enough heavy/medium/light drones to face most challenges.
You are my new best friend.
Personally i have been using my myrm like your despription. 2 heavies for the big guys and 5 mediums for the little ones. It just takes some extra effort to coordinate them all properly. But dont forget though that there are drone rigs too which will help with the battling.

here's a question. is everyone using their ships for pvp? it seems like everyone is just pvping with ships and not doing pve. or has anyone tried mixing up rigs with upgrades. honestly lets all stop complaining and keep trying lots of other stuff. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. There is more to life than pvp, there are missions and complexes. And since the ships have all been changed once already i doubt they will change them again. Don't be greedy work with what you have.

well ok then how about this.
Up the myrmidon drone bay to 150 m¦ and up the drone bonuses by an additional 5%; this would allow for 4 heavies and 2 mediums drones 1 light, or create your own spiffy combo.
Plus don't forget the 3 rig slots which will help improve the drones even more.
Before anyone else complains I would like to really hear about how the drone rigs improve the drones on the myrmidon. I ask this because I have not heard of anyone using drone rigs yet.
On a side note: Try pve in the cosmos complexes in Sinq and Metropolis. The rats there use pvp tactics. They scram, stasis and gang on you.
