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 and so it can mount any weaponry of any size with equal proficiency, or use nosferatu or neutralizer arrays without greatly reducing its damage.
Skills
- The standard Power Grid Management V and CPU Management V. These fitting skills make it easier to fit the modules you need, as they give you more power grid and CPU per level, respectively.
- As the Myrmidon is a droneboat, training Drones V, Drone Avionics V, Drone Interfacing IV and Gallente Drone Specialization IV / Minmatar Drone Specialization IV are all are important to improve your primary source of damage.
- The Myrmidon is bonused for an active armor tank, which should your first choice when fitting this ship. A T1 armour tank may be acceptable at first, but you'll want to quickly start training for a T2 tank, as a T2 tank is better in just about every way. For a T2 tank, train the following skills: Hull Upgrades V, Mechanics IV, and Repair Systems IV.

- T1 modules may be used while training T2 skills. However, T2 shield modules are highly recommended for L3 missions.
- Mid slot shield amplifiers (and ammo type) should be changed to fit mission rats.
- Use whatever weapon you are more comfortable with, as this ship has no weapon bonus
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 32.9 K EHP, flies at 418 m/s (536 m/s with afterburner overheated) and align in 11.9 s with AB on (8.6 s off).
- The shield regenerates 315 point per s and the Capacitor is stable.
- Damage depends on drone and can reach 632 dps at 30 + 12 km with Ogre II drones and EMP ammo.

- A standard fit for PvP with Armor tank
- The Medium Armor Repairer is optional but nicely match the Myrmidon's repair bonus (it repairs 49 armor unit per s). See below for a variation without a Repairer.
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 52.8 K EHP, flies at 367 m/s (464 overheated) and align in 13.8 s with AB on (10.5 s off). The capacitor will last 4 min 34.
- Damage varies between 360 and 705 dps and is mostly dependent on drones. Excellent drones skills are required to make this ship work,
- Guns are not bonused and you should pick whatever you feel more comfortable with. The Focused Medium Pulse Lasers have been chosen because of their relatively high tracking and good damage at the 12 km scram range.
