The myrm's weapon bonus is drones, it can still use this while passive tanked, and the reason the Nighthawk isn't overpowered is because:
a) It takes like 6+ months more training to get into a Nighthawk than a Myrm
b) it's a huge un-insurable expense
c) The Nighthawk's dps with 6 medium launcher slots, a 25% rof bonus, and a 25% kinetic damage bonus(level 5 command ships, loooooool) is still
far worse than 5 heavy drones with a 50% damage bonus and 6 un-bonused medium turret slots using projectiles which also do not use cap.
Mostly c. This is also the reason that the Drake(even tho its tank is not quite as good, in fact) is not overpowered, dominix drone dps + command ship tank = no.
