BIG DAMAGE DRONES with the MYRMIDON Battlecruiser!! || EVE Echoes

[@dedpoptart]

The design looks like it's a grown up catalyst that learned to walk.

[@ITPalGame]

It's a Minbari (Sharlin) war cruiser stretched out.

[@daseinpanzerbjrn9324]

Never played Homeworld , eh?

[@M1551NGN0]

@@captainbenzie HAHAHA 🤣 i have a better perception of a Myrmidon. Both the Drone cruisers at t7, Prophecy and Myrmidon, look like birds. Prophecy is a turkey Myrmidon is a Zombie Hen or Woodpecker with both arms stretched out. The Zombie vibes can be felt with the greenish hue of the skin

[@DeNorali]

For PvP, I recommend not grouping your drones. Keeping them separate gives you a better chance of saving them if they get targeted.

[@Anthosius]

My fit is basically: bat, knight (Holy cow the rep per tick is ridiculous), mwd, battery, and a DC. 5x mk7 hammerheads ( atm thermal outperforms others overall dmg wise), 2x webs for those pesky enemies with mwds. A nos in case someone does get in neut range. And flints. For rigs I took 2x tier 2 drone range rig and a t2 drone dmg output rig and 3 cap rigs. 400 drone dps at 63 km range, dc and mwd in case I need to get away fast. Battery in case of emergency and I need to have mwd and rep going while keeping distance. And rails if something slips in 30km range. So far im chilling in t8 stories.

[@dinospumoni5611]

I've heard this elsewhere, why do Hammerheads outperform others damage-wise? I know they face the lowest total resistance across shields and armor, but the difference is small so I wonder if there's some other factor. I heard a rumor that a bug causes them to attack more quickly from several corp mates, but I've never tested or confirmed that. Also jw why rails instead of strike cannons or long range missiles to get a bit of extra DPS for the 30-50km range?

[@leverloos]

Benzie. As a heads up. The drone speed augmentor rig is far suprior and a lotcheaper then the drone damage rig. Everyone thinks it increases flight speed. But it actually increases attack speed and thus multiplying with all other forms of %damage already from skills and hull bonus. The damage difference is HUGE. Maybe make a video about this. It will help a lot of people out.

[@leverloos]

@@captainbenzie on a cruiser it's better dps to put on 2 speed rigs. on a BC the 3e speed rig gives Almost the same bonus as 1 damage rig. But considering the price difference it's not worth spending 6x the price for a couple DPS. But a lot of people do not know this.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

How come the NPC Myrmadons don't use drones? Did they just never buy any?

[@JasonEyerly]

Would like to see a comparison of BCs - harby, prophecy, myrmidon, etc. I've been training into drone skills but no idea how to start fitting the different types.

[@RossBobbie]

Cool ship, guy in our corp loves his. Personally I'm looking forward to a harbinger video.

[@ITPalGame]

If numbers for damage types are the same as EO, just go with thermal Hammerhead as the best overall damage type.

[@infinite5oul578]

My favorite Gallente Ship in EO. *swoon!

[@Uradyn]

Myrmidon VS Prophecy pretty please!

[@aurelio2272]

At least on the Prophecy, you can barely fit a Large armor rep while using a T2 powergrid rig. The large is roughly equivalent to 2 medium reps which really helps with slot efficiency.

[@JasonEyerly]

How much is the T2 power grid rig?

[@aurelio2272]

Jason Eyerly They are running about 60mil atm 😅

[@mrjay1489]

Loving your videos. Im skilling into Logi Cruisers for first time. Can you do a fitting guide for the Scythe?

[@pfclumi]

Those ships are seriously expensive. Like 123Mil-ish, If I grind it would take me at least maybe like 3 months or so to get that.

[@corriec28500]

two medium reppers is also an alternative method to tank in replace of the low damage boost and maybe the AB for a cap battery

[@Skinnyman-yj7jz]

Cap could you make a mid range shield tanked budget cyclone fit? I'm buying a rigged one from a friend and want to get a lower prices high damage fit, so I can get good isk\hour running the t7 encounters

[@coldlogic800]

I am currently running a Navy issue Vexor. So stepping into this bad daddy will be easy. Once I scrounge the isk of course lol

[@varyform]

No it won't be that easy :)

[@minmatarnoob7625]

is the advance medium drone upgrade skill bonus applies to all sizes of drones or only medium drones?

[@mrsmiastef]

Could you please compare the tanking of the myrm and the prophecy and see who is better?

[@zelldan6919]

I second!

[@zelldan6919]

@@Ghost40. which would you use for which and why?

[@aramada998]

Sadly Echoes did NOT do the Myrmidon justice. Running 2 armor Reppers your cap gets drained far too quickly, forcing you to use up one of your slots for a battery. The Prophecy has almost 1000 more cap base and higher recharge as well. In addition it can become cap stable with 1 Repper and each type of armor module, CLOSE to cap stable with an afterburner added onto that as well. In the end there's just no contest and that makes me so sad. I love the look of this ship so much better.

[@Anthosius]

Before investing i had to choose between prophecy and myrm. Sadly, there's really no contest. All my corpies went proph while I was like: eh screw it #gallentefanboy4life

[@PatchTch]

Just looked to Prophecy and it has same 2689 GJ capacitor and same 510.0 sec recharge time. The only noticible difference is armor resist instead of armor repair efficiency.

[@alasdairgraham717]

Please explain? They have the exact same capacitor attributes?

Doesn’t the drone fire augmentor only affect sentry drones?

[@oscarleon8184]

How do you put the drones in blue? Nice video:3

[@zelldan6919]

Question. Prophesy Vs Myrmidon?

[@jasonborgmann542]

Any chance of getting some videos related to weapons? I realize you have gone over each ship, even ship lines like the Trasher line video. I would like to see something similar for weapon types. For example, if you are all in on cannons here are your best options for ships as you move up the tree. If you are a railgunner here are your options. Hopefully that makes sense. Love the content.

[@jasonborgmann542]

I guess your "Starting out with Cannons" video kinda does that. Nevermind.

[@noskes1]

We have tottaly diferent ship design taste, as I hate how Myrmidon looks :D Even i would prefer armor repair over resistance, i will upgrade my vexor with Prophecy, because I adore its simple design. Also thanks to your video I realize that armor hardners give only ~20%. I didnt know that there is that diference between ~30% shield resistance.

[@stagger225]

I am primarily Gallente, but I won’t be using any drone boats until drones are dropped in npc wrecks.

[@teddyhi8870]

Is prophecy gonna have the same low slot ?

[@massimoromanelli3671]

Hey how much was the whole fit in isk?

[@KuyaBors]

during PVP and your drone got destroyed, the drone bay automatically deployed your reserve drone or manually adding it to launch cube?

[@chrisc.73]

No

[@Shrader01]

Hi Benzie, I wasn't able to switch out my drones during a pvp engagement in battle unfortunately. Does the same rule apply in noms?

[@Anthosius]

Man, I got so lucky today. Opened two 15 day Myrm gas(or air) skins from daily login box. Now I'm really sailing in style.

[@hoboscratch69]

Thank u bro I will choose one and skill for it

[@syc8150]

Oo! Oo! Drone ship!

[@williamzhang6923]

Just got a prophecy yesterday, Prophecy is better. You can just run armor rep, 2 of each hardener, drone dmg amplifier, and be cap stable on prophecy without needing Nos. Cannot replicate the same on myrmidon. Plus amarr ships look better! I'm reaching 563 dps with 63 km range. Also, strike cannons are better with far more range.

[@MiguelMedina-hb1oo]

Hmm i am doing fine soloing missions.. i don't have cap problems any more.. o.o I can tank well to i solo tec 9 missions.. i just had help building the domix.. That means more skills to train 🙌

[@Osmosis909]

Why have you done this! I seriously can’t decide between a Myrm or a prophecy :(

[@mrsmiastef]

Me neither, so I got both!

[@Anthosius]

Let me help you: if you want an overall better ship, get prophecy. If you want to tear off your shirt and shout "FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY" every time you lock in a ship, go myrm.

[@Anthosius]

P. S. : i ran out of shirts yesterday.

[@christopheryoder8292]

I have both. I got the myrm first and rigged it for tank so I can solo pve. I have a bubble boy ratting fleet prophecy with four bats and ab in the lows. No tank all gank.

[@christopheryoder8292]

I like my brawling myrm. Nos + two reppers allows me to solo t9 anoms.

[@blubaless]

Have you actually used a reactive armor hardener? You say it takes just a smudge too long to react, but in fact it reacts instantly as soon as you take any damage to armor. It is not like in EVE Online where it reacted a little every cycle, no this one fully adapts armor resistances after 1 single hit to your armor.

[@tophan5146]

Interesting!

[@blubaless]

@@captainbenzie I literally just tested just to be sure I wasn't speaking out of my ass. It instantly went straight from base value 13,83% to 30% EM and 26% Thermal against blood raiders. This is with the 'Sparkly' one. It literally only took 1 hit to my armor to trigger this response. No gradual increase in resistance.
