Edited by: Pandares on 15/01/2008 06:25:46 I never really get the whole 'get your support skills up' argument when it comes to missioning. A dominix is a more forgiving ship to fly than a myrmi; it has more slots, a vastly bigger tank, and can actually field 5 heavy drones (which the myrm cannot).
You could fit bubble-blowin' machines in the highs of a dominix and you could still run lvl 3 missions with your eyes closed. Additionally, the extra cost of flying a domi over a myrm is about 20 - 30 million. Not _that_ much more.
A passive myrmidon is a beastly ship, and if you have the skills for that it is a vastly better tank than an active myrm. But for young gallente players it may not be wise to sidestep into shieldtanking, since you'll pretty much only use it on this ship. (< not directed at the op since his situation is different)
edit: beaten to it; damn my slow typing

In all honesty I don't even think your skill level matters when it comes to your tank; a BS beats a BC by simple virtue of being able to fit a large repper vs a medium one. In fact it's not hard to fit 2x LAR on a domi; you can't match that survivability on a Myrmi sporting MAR's.

Originally by: Wardeneo m8 tbo with 1.5 mill sp id stay witha vexor, imo u dont have enough sp so fully take advantage of a myrm or domi, so id stay with that, get good tanking afn drone skills then move up 2 myrm and then 2 domi, but i wud certainly train for the ishkur adn ishtar at some point if i was u, both real good ships
Seriously now; which skills exactly make the vex a better ship at low skillpoints? IMHO you are much more likely to fare well in a bigger ship considering you have low sp.
An ancient character might be able to fly a vexor into a lvl 3 mission and, by virtue of t2 mods and fitting skills, do well. As a 1.5m sp noob I wouldn't want to fly anything smaller than a myrm, and preferably a domi into that lvl 3.
PVE won't (likely) pop your ship, and who's going to try to suicide gank your BS in hi-sec just for the hell of it?
