Myrmidon
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
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. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Myrmidon is a versatile battlecruiser that performs well in most roles. The myrmidon sports a balanced slot layout that can support a shield or armor tank and do quite well with either. It has more drone bandwidth and a larger drone bay when compared to its cruiser cousin the Vexor. As a drone boat the Myrmidon has excellent flexibility for long roams, with the ability to carry a mixed heavy and medium flight, a light flight, and an additional flight of light repair or EWAR drones. The Myrmidon has no bonus to any weapon system so can mount any weaponry of any size with equal proficiency, or use nosferatu or neutraliser arrays without greatly reducing its damage.
For Incursions the Myrmidon is not ideal, but can serve as a starting point for trying them out and to use while training into a more suitable ship. See Gallente ship progression for more information on where to go from here.
