I just took my myrm out solo'ing, I wtned to get it popped cause I figured it'd be worth nothing come next patch.
Well, the lonely drake took out all my drones, I had one left, nad warped to a raven that locked me down.
Sure, the myrmidon could do LOTS of damage. But any idiot can sick his small drones ormissles on my drones and kill 85% of my DPS.
I learned this lesson today. I also learned that EVRYONE ONE OF YOU STUPID IDIOT NERDS ON THE FORUMS ARE EVE FITTING TOOL NERDs. You morons come up with theoretical fits that can do theoretical DPS, then complain when you see some large 'descrpencies'.

A truly informative post.
On that note, I fly a myrmidon, and while the dps is indeed destructable, I'm not sure you were exactly fit optimally, either...

Um, yeah. Nothing surprising. 
I've been saying it, but the Drake is *THE* Anti-Myrmidon.

Nothing new here. The Drake murders drones. Pick your targets more carefully. I don't understand why you're surprised that you lost a 1v1 fight with a ship that is your exact counter. |

Yea, I shoulda avoided missle ships. But 40mill in insurance sounded nice, and I dndt want to deal with teh ship after teh patch.

Notlike it matters. The myrm will be nerfed to medocricity in a couple weeks. Waay its going, we'll have a ton of flavors of vanilla, but no cholate. Good? Not in my opinion. ----------------- Friends Forever

Edited by: Soulita on 12/11/2007 08:28:04 IMHO the drake is more effective than the myrmidion in both PVE and PVP, and that is now, before any changes that might be coming.
Drones got big disadvantages in PVP and PVE compared to missiles or turrets. - Drones take a long time to get to the target. (PVP and PVE) - Drones tend to aggro whole stages in missions. (PVE) - Drones take a long time to scoop. (PVP and PVE) - Drones can be destroyed, killing the prime weapon of a drone ship. (PVP and PVE) - Drones typically are only usefull for short range (up to 30 km - excpetions are fighters and sentry drones)
In order to balance out these disadvantages, drone ships should have higher dps than other ships.
But that's CCPs call, it's their game. I can fly both myrmidion and drake, so the upcoming changes won't effect me much.

Edited by: Grytok on 12/11/2007 08:34:31 Complaining about the fact, that your Drones can be popped easily destroying 85% of your DPS is, well... uhm... nvm.
Thats exactly what the patch is about. Fielding multiple waves of Medium Drones instead, while having your Blasters as a primary weapon solves the issue here.
So actually CCP is just helping those people, who are dumb enough to field 5 Heavies so far 
EDIT: And please stop comparing the Myrmidon with an Ishtar, as the Ishtar has only 3 Turret Hardpoints instead of 6.
The Myrmidon will still pawn every other BC, despite the Drake. .

Having blasters as primary weapons on a drone ship?
Well, ok, whatever you say.
Oh, also you do not sound like you have used drones much - have you?

i always found i could solo pretty much any ship in my myrmidon.
last time i flew one i fought 3 ravens solo and killed 2 before i popped, they were using heavy neuts and faction missiles.

Flying an Ishtar with 3.5 Million SP in Drones and I'm quiet happy with it. Never bothered to give the Myrmidon a try tho.
EDIT: Having a Bonus to Drones, doesn't make it a Drones only ship tho. Remove 3 Turret Hardpoints and we've something to discuss about  .

It is plain obvious that drones got many disadvantages compared with other weapons sytstems, so drone ships should have advantages as well.
But besides saying that - and you can check my lil list of drone disadvantages a few posts up - I am not going to bother arguing with ya much, sorry

I'm not using my Ishtar in Combat, as drones actually suck in in combat. I'm just doing LvL 4's in it 
For Combat I'm flying Turret-Ships and use ECM-Drones if there is a Drone-Bay available  .

I assume the Drake was using FOFs? If it wasn't, why did you let it lock your drones?

Just a guess, but maybe he was surpriced since so many whine that the drake totaly sucks ass at pvp and the myrm is the mother of all pvp? ;)

I'm very tired of the whole nerf anything that they didn't expect from the beginning. OR however they say it exactly.
Frankly they are limiting the myrmidon into a sort of direction they want it to go in. The whole idea of having options in the game is what makes it interesting. If I scan a myrmidon after the patch... what is it going to have? tons of hammerhead 2s. Very rarely a mix of 2 heavies, 2 mediums, 1 light. Infact probably the same amount of people using 2 heavies, 2 mediums, 1 light will still be the same amount after the patch. The change will be nobody can use 5 heavies. So they go 5 mediums.
The better fix would have been: Say for example you have perfect drone skills and such with the myrmidon. You are doing 475 dps with ogre 2s. While only 238 with hammerhead 2s. HOW ABOUT SIMPLY a new additional bonus to medium drone dps? so instead of just the 50% bonus to medium drone dps. how about 100% bonus? It brings that measly 238 up to roughly 350 with max skills. Not the glaring large dps of ogre 2s but obviously not some crap dps that doesn't cut it.
Frankly after the patch the myrmidon will see a massive amount of death and nobody going to buy another to replace it. Just as the person here did. Nobody will touch the myrmidons anymore... just as nobody uses exequror for pvp. It doesn't perform nearly the best so it won't be used.
The people using the myrmidon now will likely goto the ishtar or domi. Depending on their piloting skills.
