Theres no module you can fit to a myrmidon to allow you to control more than 5 drones at a time.
Either consider the extra 5 as "spares", or take 5 heavies instead.

Back in the day you used to be able to control 1 extra drone per level of drone interfacing. So if you had drones 5 + drone interfacing 5 you could control 10 drones. That skill was changed a couple years ago to provide a damage bonus instead of extra drones though.
I remember the days of 15 heavy drones on my domi (drones 5, interfacing 5, gallente BS 5)

So there is no way to get more than 5 drones except in a carrier? Seems like a wasted effort to spend hours and lots of ISK only to get 5 small heavies, when you could be flying a Hyperion... |

No, there is not.
5 Heavies will skills actually do a lot of damage, especially T2 heavies. Drone Interfacing 5 will make 5 heavy drones do the equivalent damage of 10 unbonused drones, so its is very much worth the time. -----

Sigh. No.
Originally by: Advanced Drone Interfacing Skill Description Allows operation of drone control units. 1 extra drone control unit per level.
Have a careful read. Then look up the module 'Drone Control Unit I'. -----

Advanced Drone Interfacing lets you use one Drone Control Unit per level.
Drone Control Units can only be used on carriers due to fitting requirements. (One of those "module uses ungodly CPU, ship has CPU reduction bonus" deals.)
There is one non-carrier ship that can use more than 5 drones, the Guardian-Vexor. It was given out as an event reward, approximately 20-30 still remain in the game I believe. Once all are destroyed, they will be gone forever. ------------ Ezra Cornell

Just out of curiousity, why does the Dominix have such a huge drone bay, if you can only have five......spares?

fit 5 em drones to kill stuff with low em resists, fit 5 thermal drones to kill stuff with low thermal resist .. or 5 combat drones 5 ewar drones 5 combat drones to kill stuff adn 5 repair drones to repair gangmates
fit some psare drones in case you pvp adn your drones get blown up
I dunno, prolly pleny more reasons too I guess

If you're gonna answer your own question then do we still have to answer it?
But to add to that... it's a shame there is only a single type of drone in the whole game... if only there were other varieties of drones you could use in all that added space....

Simple, guardian-Vexor.
I doubt you'd bother using it in pvp if you ever managed to get one, as they're worth a pretty penny and irreplaceble. However, it's still a cruiser and has a 125m3 dronebay and can launch 10 drones at once... Granted you have drones 5 and interfacing 5. It's a special ship though, so you probably won't see too many of them in pvp or anywhere else for that matter. :/
