**Ratting in our staging systems can be dangerous, and is highly discouraged!**
===== 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 Querious Myrmidon has been adapted from the old Catch fit, but thanks to a new site running method it does more damage and can run Havens.
**This Fit Requires Capacitor Stability Without the Auto Targeting System Running!**

==== How to Run Sites ====
=== If You're New to Ratting ===
**Give the [[/public/dojo/wiki/ratting|Introduction to Ratting]] page a read to avoid common mistakes and get some background knowledge.**
=== Running Each Site ===
**Your Armor Repairers, Afterburner, and Omnidirectional Tracking Link should always be active while you're in a site.**
- Warp to the site at 50km.
- Find an object around the center of where the rats are spawning, and orbit it at 50km.
- Wait for the rats to aggress you, then drop Praetors and aggress a rat.
- If your drones come under attack, recall them repeat the previous step.
**Kill Order: Cruisers -> Destroyers -> Frigates -> Battleships -> Battlecruisers**
=== Site-Specific Information ===
Some sites require special attention due to a particularly nasty wave or unusual mechanics.
== Havens (Stargate Variant) ==
* **The second last wave of this site spawns 3 - 4 Energy Neutralizing Cruisers.** You want to immediately focus these down after they spawn before they can get into neuting range.
* **The final wave of this site has Corpus Popes that can push the limits of your tank.** Primary these ships first to prevent your tank from breaking.
* **The final wave of this site may spawn NPC Capitals.** If an NPC Capital appears you must warp off immediately to avoid being volleyed.
== Hubs ==
* **This site has a warp-in position unusually far off the rats' spawn point.** You'll want to warp to this site at zero.
==== Additional Information ====
=== Runnable Sites ===
The sites in this list have been tested and determined to be runnable using the above fit(s). It is not necessarily comprehensive, and some sites may require special attention which will be noted in the section above.
* Blood Raider Havens (Stargate Variant)
* Blood Raider Forsaken Hubs
* Blood Raider Hubs
* Blood Raider Forsaken Rally Points
==== If You Get Tackled ====
=== For Light Resistance ===
Light Resistance for the Myrmidon is a single tackle ship.
- Align out to a citadel.
- Put your damage or EC-300s on the ship tackling you.
- If at any point the point drops, warp off.
=== For Heavy Resistance ===
Heavy Resistance is more than one tackle ship, or a hard tackle ship such as Dictor, Hictor, or Keres.
- Align out to a citadel
- Put **www ** in fleet chat and ask on comms for support.
- Pick a target and put some damage on.
- Heat your Armor Repairers to stay up for as long as possible.
