Hey folks,
Recently acquired myself a shiny new Myrm, after having flown nothing but caldari for the last number of years. It sure is different from the passive tank setups I usually fly, and has highlighted my deficiencies in armor tanking and drone skills.
I want to fly this ship as a salvage/lvl3 runner, where the highslots are given over to 3 x salvagers, 2 x Nos (med or heavy?) and a tractor beam. I've been told that to fly the myrm at near optimum is a skill heavy venture, but I might as well get training as I want to branch into Gallente ships.
Can anyone shed some light on the kind of skills I will need to succesfully tank lvl 3's? I can tank lvl 3's in my drake with zero issues to who aggro's me, but my attempts to tackle lvl 3's in the myrm so far have been inefficient. Perhaps a discussion on tatics?
And I'd love to see people who have builds that are like what I outlined :)

Myrm is a great ship but it is pretty skill intenisve. I am currently using is for level 3's and my load out is like this.
Highs:
1x Tractor Beam
2x Med Nos
3x T1 250 Rails (cant use med t2's yet)
Meds:
1x omni directional drone control thingie
4x named cap rechargers
Lows:
1x T2 repper
1x cpr
4x ACTIVE hardners dictated by the mission im running
right now im only using T1 med thermal drones and its a little slow but works fine. This sunday I will have t2 drones so im looking forward to the speed diffrence.
Skills:
Armor tanking you will need:
Mechanic 4 & Repair Systems 4 for the T2 med repper
Hull Upgrades 4 for the Armor Hardners (5 if you want to use the T2 versions)
Cap stuff
Engineering 2
science 1
Energy grid upgrades 2 for the CPR & cap rechargers
Drones:
Drones to 5 (so you can use 5 drones)
Drone Interfacing as high as you can get it (20% dmg per skill level)
Scout drone operation 5 (+5km per level drone control range + need 5 for T2 light and med drones)
Combat drone operation 4 (+5% dmg for light and med drones)
Heavy drone operation 5 for T2 heavies
Racial drone skills 1 for med and light 4 for heavies 1 drone type per race (for example the gallente drone skill gives you access to thermal dmg drones)
hope that helps

6x 200mm rails
1x 10MN AB II
1x web
3x cap recharger
1x Medium armor repairer II (or best named)
2-4x rat specific hardeners (depends on your skills)
0-2x Magnetic field stabilizers
Pack 4 heavy, 5 light drones.
For salvaging ditch the myrmidon and get an exequror with tractor beams and salvaging. Way to do it is to bookmark all the areas, then come back when the mission is completed.

It makes a better passive shield tank then amour tank so it shouldnÆt be that different from what your used to. Pretty much fly it like your Caldari ships and you will find missions a walk though as you have a very tough tank and more dps with drones alone.
If you have shield skills I donÆt see any point in get the amour skills as that just means extra training for a weaker tank.

I had a Drake and will probably take a rash of crap for this but I bought a Myrm myself. However, being Caldari, most of my skills were shield related, not armor. So I made my Myrm to compliment my skills. Basically my setup is 5x 250mm Prototype Gauss guns and a medium NoS in highs. Medium slots I use a 10mn AB T2, an Invulnerabilty Field II, 2x LSE IIs and a magnetic scattering amplifier T2. For my low slots I use 4 shield power relay and 2 dianostic control T2. For rigs I have 3 Core Field purgers. I then also use 5x T2 medium scout drones. With skills and fittings I have over 12k shields with a recharge rate of 143 sec. My resists are in the upper 60s and I never have gone below 80% on a level 3.
Tactics... I aggro everything and tank it while my drones kill everything. Tonight I am dropping the guns and equipping 2 small tractor beams and 3 salvagers since my gun skills are so horrible I do little for damage with them.
By the way, I am a 5 1/2mil SP character with 2mil of those points in learning.
