The most that I ever lost was a helios on a gate , wasnt really due to sleeping but more due to multi-tasking so much that I forgot that I warped him to a gate.
Havent got the killmail anymore though as this was roughly a year ago. ---

Myrmidons are just fine at passive shield tanking; it is a consequence of having a good slot layout, and battlecruiser stats (particularly,shield capacity, recharge time, and enough power grid to fit multiple 'battle ship sized' large shield extenders).
Just because Myrmidons have an armour repairer bonus doesnt mean that they cant passively shield tank with the best of them (ie comparable to Drakes).

well, why would anyone not try to get the most of there ship is beyond me (such as ignoring armor tank bonuses), and sorry, but there is no way a myrm could passively shield tank anywhere close to what a typical 2x2x2 drake setup can handle...
and my reply isn't like i'm trying to say i'm the best at anything, or that i know it all, because thatĘs far from the truth... but running a shield tank on a mrym is like using a butter knife to cut a t-bone... sure it will work, but umn... its not very effective.

I'm notorious for falling asleep in space. I was sleeping soundly in my chair when I heard a loud noise and woke up to see my Brutix explode around me. Lost two of these this way.
The most recent loss was a Covetor. I woke up after downtime and didn't find out about the loss until I logged in when I got home from work.
"WTH, why am I not docked? Oh crap not again!"
I've sinced moved to a permatank Domi. Woke up the other day and was just sitting in space. When I retraced my steps to figure out how I got there, I realized I just completed The Blockade lvl 4 during my nap.
Good times.

Some quick playing with the numbers sugest that a drake can be passivly shield tanked slightly better than a mrym, using t2 equipment and t1 rigs; but the myrm would do more damage.
Similarly, a passivly tanked myrm will have more effective tank dps than an activly armour tanked one, and less cap problems.
If one goes using mid slots up for pvp equipment, maybe the armour rep bonus is more useful, but if you want to use all your slots for tanking, passive shield tanks are the way fowards for most battlecruisers.
Plus, you can go to sleep, safe in the knowlege that you dont have to do anything; your drones will shoot stuff, not run out of ammo, and your shield recharges by itself. As long as you are not in the wrong mission.

Sorry your ship died, but at least the gisti shield booster wasn't destroyed!
I've never lost a ship for falling asleep in a mission, but I did manage to get my exploration ship killed by warping to zero instead of warping to 100. Landed right on top of a bunch of heavy missile batteries that blew me out of the sky halfway through the warping sequence.
And naturally, my SSOE probe launcher was destroyed :p
Are you sure you didn't warp to 100 and just land at 0 since you were going into a deadspace? That does happen quite often.

Actually, I had about 16.5k of shield, recharging in 145 seconds. That's not exactly bad. T2 Damage Control for a little resistance, and that's good for just about anything under a Level 4. A shame I had that webber in the mids instead of the Invulnerability field. (at that point, I could have gone to sleep and had a good nap without losing anything) My tank was just a little overmatched. Just a little more resistance and it would have held.
My Domi is set up with an Active Armor tank, but I spent too much time in my youth going for shielding, rather than armor to get the most out of an armor tank.
You live, you learn. I'm still adapting, even now. Try not to become too set in the "This ship can only do this" mindset. _______________________________

I don't have the killmail anymore, but my first Raven went in a similar manner. I was drinking heavily (yeah, yeah) and had destroyed everything but a few frigates. Then I passed out. Granted, this was a crap setup with crap skills, but it was a bit of an embarrassment to admit my shiny new Raven died in less than 3 days thanks to three or four frigates and around an hour of inactivity.

Would it not be worth it over time to invest in a perma tank, so that falling asleep does not result in this?
I've lost several ships like that myself, including two Absolutions :(
It is a permatank but I forgot to enable the shield booster before falling asleep 
turn on booster, THEN warp to mission 
anyways i have alttabbed in a drake with drones out and finished missions several times.
lost my alts drake in a mission once. not even looking at the other screen or the fleet window

if it's permatank, why don't you switch it on together with the hardeners? that is, before jumping to the mission point
