I can fit a full rack of Sieges on my Raven with no issues. As in I can fit the same layout as I used with Cruises. Gonna miss hitting rats out at 30k with cruises though, no big issue :)
I've said it before in a lot of other Gallente Nerf posts, and I think you hit the nail on the head *guy right above me, sorry for not quoting your name :)* That there are OMG Gallente are teh sux! posts, and intelligent counters on the gallente side to the changes.
We should use the term changes more than the term nerf. Nerf is just so much more unprofessional. The Myrmidon will STILL have a killer tank on it, and with that alone, will still be a very viable weapon in pvp. The fact that it got put in line with all of the other Battlecruisers, just shows that it was very overpowered before. For those pilots unable to adapt to such a small change (as far as drone fielding and bandwidth) you are a very poor player to begin with, and I would love to fight against you.
The drone change as far as instant recharge was a bit ridiculous in my opinion, and yes, I did use it heavily on my Raven pilot in PVE situations. It isn't the worst thing to happen. If you need a clue, here's one... fit a shield recharger in a high slot, BAM problem solved. Now, however, single drone survivability isn't that much of an issue, as you can fit more waves of drones. As a previous poster pointed out, that's a HUGE plus to things. And I see a lot of Myrm pilots cry about their soon to be changing drone damage, but say absolutely nothing about their blaster damage. That means either you completely throw away a high dps source, or you want to close your eyes to the fact that you will still be putting out loads of dps. Granted, you might not have a ton of range, but, that's the price you pay for fitting the highest dps weapon class in the game.
To be honest, the OP really irks me something fierce. This type of player that is unable to look beyond their point of view of how things should be, is the reason behind some discussions of changes that weren't really necessary. There is a counter to everything, and that's how it should be. There shouldn't be a situation where one thing is better than everything else.
Counter to drones? Pilot skill or fof missiles. Either way, the drone boat gets an advantage here, as their tank gets some time to rep up. You might lose some dps, but spit out a new drone, your bigger bays give you that option now.
Counter to missiles? Tank or speed. Or defenders, but who uses those anyways?
Counter to blasters? Autocannons, Rails, Arty, Missiles
Counter to Autocannons? Rails, Arty, Missiles, etc
Counter to Arty/Rails? Close range/speed.
see where I'm going with this? USE YOUR HEAD, or convo me in game to set up some fights, so I can take whatever survived from your wreck.
Cookie cutter fits really only work 100% of the time in PVE.
Will I lose in my Cane to a competant Myrm Pilot after the patch? Definately. Always? No. People who say otherwise need to get off of EFT or Quickfit, put down the paper and pencil, and pick up the mouse and play some.
Learn to adapt, or die. You had a good run as undisputed kings and queens of pvp. If you can't deal with the fact that you are now disputed? reroll amarr and have fun with it. You might learn something.
