You do realise that this will not prevent him from killing your MYRMIDON off? That you've essentially wasted two mid slots?
Further more, once anyone gets a web on one of your heavy drones, you're NOT recalling it lol. It's as good as dead. Won't be any need for retargeting.
Because I said so...

You are going to be pounding me.. and I in return are going to be 'playing' with webbing your drones...
gee, people can teach you new 'tactics' every day, don't they.. uuu look at these pretty shiny things that fly around, let me slow it down to look at it better... very productive for the 15-30 seconds you have in 1v1 PvP
PvP w/ Kali is measured in minutes, not seconds. With the Hurricane I can web/kill all 4 heavies before I'm into half armor, and this is assuming I get into range of the Myrmidon's guns, which if you're smart, you won't for the first part of the fight. AFTER you've killed it's drones, THEN you move in and kill it.
It's such a simple concept, even a monkey could do it.

Lol, if a Myrmidon pilot lets you escape his guns, then he isn't doing something right. Even if that's the case why wouldn't he simply quit a losing battle, since apparently he and apparently you are out of range?
I guess there's more than 1 way to do a monkey business. You have 1 battle and that should really convince everyone of a ships abilities? Hardly so m8, there are much more creative people in this game than what you're making the eve players out to be...
The Hurricane is faster than the Myrmidon. With a 20km scram I can dicate range quite easily. With two webs, even more so. I haven't just fought one fight. I've fought numerous fights with multiple setups against a wide variety of players. You keep making the assumption that I don't know what I'm doing and don't know what I'm talking about. You couldn't be more wrong.

Originally by: Grimpak Edited by: Grimpak on 26/10/2006 22:02:19 ok I came up with this.
so, it looks like that the drone control bonus seems to be accepted.
now let's make some stats change in the myrmidon:
6/6/6 with 6 turrets
1000 grid 410 cpu
150m3 drone bay (enough for 10 meds + 10 lights)
+1 scout/med drone control per level +5% hybrid dmg bonus
notice that I toned down the grid so that a full hi-tier gun + tank becomes harder to fit.
edit: because I wanted to mean a control bonus for med and scout drones
With the 1200 grid it already has 5x ions a mwd and med rep w/ injector are almost impossible to fit as it is. With 1000 grid trying to fit 6 guns *will* be impossible.

So I tested the new designed Myrmidon. I could put together a pretty decent Ion gank setup w/ t2 ions, and 4 heavies. If they went after the drones first, I simply did too much damage to them before they could get all the drones to recover.
Now, this was 1v1. With multiple targets the situation goes south rather quickly as they can simply kill a gank Myr too quickly since it has almost no tank. The longer the fights, the worse the Myr does due to poor cap, drone destruction and weak tanking ability.

Why not just leave the drone damage bonus the way it is, give it 250m3 worth of space and be done with it? That would allow for slightly more dps than a Vexor, a decent tank, and some backup drones.

Originally by: Nyxus Now that the Harbinger has a +dam instead of +rof, please give it back the 8th turret slot it so desperately needs as well as the grid/cpu to fit it.
The model also looks incredibly lame with only 7 turrets. That big gaping empty spot on the front of the ship is incredibly annoying.
Nyxus
It has a damage bonus instead of ROF? Where has that been announced? On test atm it's still ROF.

It's still listed as ROF, but was changed to damage if you look at the numbers. Check the damage mods on the guns.
I think Keepiru calculated that it means 8% less damage, but 25% less cap use.

Originally by: Kruel Something that often isn't taken into account is that even IF the Myr were to do more raw DPS on paper than the other BCs, in a realistic situation it wouldn't. Every time a drone is shot, the Myr pilot would have to call the drone back. DPS goes down. The further the drone has to travel will effect the overall drone DPS even more.
Big time.

Frankly I'm extremely disappointed in the Drake/Hurricane nerf. Why did they have to wreck two perfectly good ships instead of just buffing the other two? All the Myrmidon needed was 250m3 of drone space, and the Harbinger needed 7.5% damage bonus per level, and everything would have been fine.
