Dual tanking no no. Myrmi in most cases gains nice active armor tanking bonus. So swap 800mm plate for med size armor rep + eanm or specific hardeners. Med slots add tracking comp for drones and navigation comp to make your drones track things faster and more speedy. Thinking that you might be worried with your cap stability you may utilize in med slots cap battery and recharger + add couple of cap rigs along with armor rep rig. ---

And use at least meta mods. The purpose of t1 mods is to make t2 ones. The meta mods are for usage and drop in the upside down eject buttons- ermm wrecks. ---

Here’s an example of a fit mostly meant to be used in Amarr space against Blood Raiders and Sansha. Hands free defense recovery, able to scoot to hit gates in a reasonable time or to keep range up to lower incoming damage. [Myrmidon, Shield Regen Fit] Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Power Diagnostic System II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II 50MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive EM Ward Field II Thermal Dissipation Field II Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II 650mm Artillery Cannon II, Proton M 650mm Artillery Cannon II, Proton M 650mm Artillery Cannon II, Proton M 650mm Artillery Cannon II, Proton M 650mm Artillery Cannon II, Proton M Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Infiltrator II x5 Imperial Navy Praetor x4 Acolyte II x10 Proton M x3000 EMP M x3000 Explosive Deflection Field II x1 Kinetic Deflection Field II x1 Myrmidons are interesting in that even though they possess an active armor rep bonus they can be fit completely differently. Additionally as their only damage bonus is with drones they are completely free to use any weapon system of choice they can fit. Keeping a couple active hardeners around to swap resists to match the mission is perfectly reasonable. Projectile weapon ammo and drones can be swapped out to more closely match the damage needed for where you are. ---

OP, your fit. Decide if you want to be shield or armor tanked and modify accordingly, combo fits like your rarely work well. Drop the 800mm plate. Plates add EHP, for missions and most other PvE content in high sec EHP is useless, what you really need is tank measured as DPS. Kynami Vaille posted a fairly typical shield fit for the Myrmidon so here is a somewhat typical twin rep armor fit that many players I know like. [Myrmidon, Twin Rep Mission] Medium ‘Accommodation’ Vestment Reconstructer I Medium ‘Accommodation’ Vestment Reconstructer I Drone Damage Amplifier I Drone Damage Amplifier I Empty - mission specific hardener or whatever else you want Empty - same as above Eutectic Compact Cap Recharger Eutectic Compact Cap Recharger Eutectic Compact Cap Recharger Tracking Computer II 10MN Afterburner II Empty - weapon system of choice Empty - in all four Empty - of these Empty - empty high slots Drone Link Augmentor I Medium Nanobot Accelerator I Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Hobgoblin II x5 Hammerhead II x5 Medium Armor Maintenance Bot I x4 Change drones as you see fit. This load out is popular with players I know because of the in space repair capability it offers. Even at minimum skills it should be cap stable with one rep running, the second rep adds a little extra cushion when things go wrong. ---

A general tip: Look at the strengths of your ship. Use your ship in ways that make use of those strengths. Fully commit the ship to a single form of protection. Don’t try to account for all the weaknesses in your ship - instead - think and plan ahead and don’t get into situations where your weaknesses will affect you. The _only_ exception to this is resistance holes. Most armour ships have poor Explosive and Kinetic armour resistances. Most shield ships have poor EM and Thermal resistances. Patch up the ones you need, and don’t worry about the others. A specific tip: As people have pointed out, the Myrm is an armour ship that can sport a good shield tank. It is an exception to how most ships operate. Don’t let that mislead you. ---

> [@Chocolate\_Pickle](#): > > As people have pointed out, the Myrm is an armour ship that can sport a good shield tank. It is an exception to how most ships operate. Don’t let that mislead you. Has a fair amount to do with having near parity between mids and lows for slot count and a fairly good natural shield regen in the case of the Myrmidon. However, being able to opt for either type of tank isn’t too uncommon for Minmatar ships. Also tends to be doable on EWAR vessels like the Celestis and Arbitrator if you are using them in PvE and thus not loading up your mid slots with multiple EWAR modules for debuff stacking. ---

Myrmidon has a nasty shield tank if you invest in a few purge rigs and more large shield extenders. If it’s for pve you can just get 2-3 large extenders/ 2 adaptive invuln field’s and tech 1 or tech 2 purgers. It reps like crazy. ez mode in highsec ---

> [@Tiddle\_Jr](#): > > we got different definition of “norm” and that’s Myrmi fit is weak i.e. not the norm Being cap stable is the norm when running missions, only the more experienced higher sp pilots deter from that ethos, and that in itself often depends on how lazy or afk they plan on being. Cap stability is employed through out PVE combat fits, not just in missions but in ded sites and anoms in nullsec and jspace. If you dont think this is the norm for pve you are incredibly mistaken, there are few exceptions to this general rule of thumb. > [@Matthias\_Ancaladron](#): > > Myrmidon has a nasty shield tank if you invest in a few purge rigs and more large shield extenders.

It reps like crazy. ez mode in highsec Yep, basically the one i linked but with more dda’s and an oversize ab, if you go full shield recharge and t2 purgers whilst downgrading or completely deleting the ab im fairly certain it can tank even level 4’s, its tank is similar to a drakes iirc. I think someone linked another ‘variant’ with a mwd above too, though mwd fits are rarely stable people dont tend to use them in missions i believe, unless its a t3c of course but the bloom in sig and significant cap use… if you know what your doing with it they work though 🙂 ---

As the one who posted that MWD fit. Its cap stable and holds at over 50% while running anything but that MWD. While the MWD is up you have a few minutes of capacitor to play with. MWD is for blitzing or quickly forcing range open so the arty applies properly again as NPC transversal zeroes as they attempt to close range again. Great for when you need to blap a few elite frigates so your drones don’t get chewed up too hard. Especially when the elite frigates in question web… ---
