Myrmidon

Myrmidon Worried that their hot-shot pilots would burn brightly in their eagerness to engage the enemy, the Federation Navy created a ship that encourages caution over foolhardiness. A hardier version of its counterpart, the Myrmidon is a ship designed to persist in battle. Its numerous medium and high slots allow it to slowly bulldoze its way through the opposition, while its massive drone space ensures that no enemy is left unscathed.

The Myrmidon is a Gallentean drone boat, in the same field as the Vexor and Dominix. The Myrmidon comes with a bonus to drone damage output and hit points, as well as a bonus to armor repair amount. The Myrmidon has a good sized 150 meter drone bay. With 75 megabits of bandwidth of bandwidth available, this ship can launch a potent wing of drones at enemy targets.

Although the Myrmidon has 6 turret slots, the ship does not have a damage bonus to any weapons system. It is not uncommon to find these ships equipped with everything from blasters to lasers. Despite this inherent flexibility, the Myrmidon is most effective when the fitting is focused on the ship's strengths.

Additional Information

Before the introduction of Bandwidth, the Myrmidon was equipped with a 125 meter drone bay. The only limiting factor for the maximum size of a drone flight was the capacity of the drone bay and the hard limit of 5 drones at once. As such, the Myrmidon could carry a full wing of Heavy Drones, and the smallest Tech 1 ship able to do so.

While not quite as capable as it once was, the Myrmidon remains a powerful ship, and one which should not be underestimated.
