Don't cruise missles make enough volley damage to insta pop a drone? Maybe, you should learn how to fight drone ships..
But I kind of agree it might do a bit to much damage... just remove 2-3 turret hardpoints (not highslots)
But thats only me :)

The myrm has one thing going for it. Finally a top Tier Drone ship. So first one, that can easily actually fit thr right sized turrets ;)
Actually I would be happy with only 3 turret hardpoints on it. I don't think its drones are doing to much damage, if you use 5 heavy drones on it, you better know how to keep them alive, or you will lose vs any opponent, who knows what he is doing!
Testfights vs a corp mate show, that his drake can close to insta pop heavy drones... and I got drone durability quite high..

Just bring it more inline with the Ishtar.... 2-3 Turret slots less.
Ishtar 3.75 effective turret slots (Bonus...)
Myrm: 3, or 4 effective turret slots

As I said before, this will never, ever happen since the ship model has six turret hardpoints. Changing the 'numbers' is one thing, changing the ship model, not bloody likely. Maybe if the turrets were spread across the ship like the Brutix (for example) such a fix could be done. But that line of turrets makes it far too obvious that it is meant to be filled with guns.
So, if you really want a fix to the Myrmidon, at least keep it within the realm of possibility. Changing the ship model, in my opinion, is not in that realm. Especially since there are a wide variety of other things that could be nerfed should the whiners get their way  .
Graphics Upgrade, new models anyone? Not that impossible :)
Also, afaik the ishtar also shows the vexor's 4 turret mounts, but only has 3...

its not that short range isnt gallentes thing, its that its better at it than all other ships in the same class AND Better in other roles that those other ships are supposed to excell in
The ship does more damage with ions than a neutron fitted brutix does[hey its a gallente short range blaster ship!] for goodness sakes.
If you look at the other Gallente Drone ships, you will note exact the same thing. Drone Ships generally outdamage turret ships, if you use the right size turrets of them.
The difference is, that the Myrmidon is a top tier droneship, while the other drone ships are the lowest tier. And hence it is finally a drone ship, not plagued with powergrid problems for once.
As I posted yesterday, I would be happy if it would lose a few turret hardpoints. That would bring it - damage wise - more inline. If you are a Myrmidon pilot, you will have to make choices. Do I bring a full rack of Heavy drones - and be dead vs an competent interceptor pilot? Or do I bring a mix of meds / lights, and cut my damage output.
Interesting choices to be made... PvP starts in the fitting room not in space
