Well the change sure is unexpected and it was honestly needed.
The nerfs to the other BC were here before the myrmi got changed.. and after the changes I thought it would be a cold day in hell before any of the ships would get better. And now the myrmi has 125 m^3 drone space..
I laugh at those people saying the myrmidon is better than all the other tier 2 BC. You have obviously never fitted one. Any blaster setup requires a MWD (and probably a cap booster, you know usual setup)(ow and I'd use an AC setup since without a hyrbid bonus the no cap is better). Good luck fitting any form of tank that way; tanking bonus down the drain. You want an uber tank that leaves you enough fitting for a drone setup, screw the guns. So 6 small arty (honestly, why the frell use rails over a no cap weapon on this ship) and 5 heavy drones.
Any armed drake can take that ship out easily unless jammed.. just a matter of hitting the heavy drones and pounding through the formidable tank.
As for dps, I recon it is highest now with the changes to the other tier 2 BC.. kill two drones and it's lowest again.. and no spares if you bring heavies.. seems fair enough.. (especially when you figure you need BC lvl 5 to get the same 50% hp increase for your drones all the ships have had, and drones haven't..)
The Drake deserved a nerf, mind you not the whack in the face it just had, but a nerf nonetheless. Fights on sisi were silly. The others.. no clue what they were thinking, prolly something along the line of .. hmm cheap hac..
About the slots and high slots of the myrmi.. atm the myrmi still has one less slot than the other tier 2 BC. You can't just give a ship in the same class less slots than others in teh same class.. but you can't really try and give it 18 slots with as lil high slots as possible. I mean noone wants a ship with just 2 highs and 8 meds and lows.. so where do you go... more low slots means uber tank... more meds means uber tackle.. so you need to keep highs.. and really the model has 6 turret slots. Either give it 4 turrets and don't use the first and last, or something like that, but 5 turrets looked ugly.
I say unnerf the hurricane, give the drake the launcher slot back, but keep the boni as they are now, (and please change the ferox to a proper rail boat with 7/3 turret/launcher) and obviously boost amarr :)
PS: 125m^3 is still too small, and please change the bonus to scout drones only so the frelling whiners will move on, with the myrmi's down on dps again.
