**Ratting in our staging systems can be dangerous, and is highly discouraged!****The Sansha fit is from the Catch era, and requires re-validation of its capability.**
===== How to Rat in a Myrmidon =====
With the VNI's loss of dominance in the area of ratting, the Myrmidon represents the Second Stepping Stone after the Vexor in the ratting ship chain. This ship offers significantly more tank than the Vexor, along with a decent increase in damage.
You can make between 9-13 million isk/tick (every 20 minutes) using this fit, assuming a 100% Bounty Risk Modifier.
==== Fittings ====
The Myrmidon is viable in both Angel and Sansha Space, utilizing a passive shield and active armor fit for the respective regions. As with all ratting ships, if you have the ability to you should switch out the faction large drones for T2 ones. The default drone setup is 4 heavy drones, but if your medium drone skills are significantly better than your heavy drone skills, you might get more DPS using 2 mediums and 3 heavies instead.
