hyperion hybrid
what is this hyperion hybrid ship? and is it available anywhere in X3TC??
OOOOOoooohhh!! So that's why everyone loves those! That makes perfect sense now. Also I just looked and they are fast as heck and have killer 1GJ shields!EnderIII wrote:Do you mean the Hyperion Vanguard?
It is sort of a hybrid, it is a quite large M6 that can dock fighters.
It is available in paranid sectors, lay down an advanced satalite network and it will run through it eventually.
Hmm, I'm gonna have to cap me one of these...as soon as I figure out how to cap. I think I've given up on TP/M6 capping and I'm just gonna buy a Kraken or something. Should be relatively simple with an M7M (yeah right!)
You may be looking at the stats for the X3R Hyperion there...the one in X3TC uses 200MJ shields, like all other M6s. (Although it does have a total shielding of 1GJ, which is why I'm not sure if you're looking at the right stats or not).dbrowdy wrote: Also I just looked and they are fast as heck and have killer 1GJ shields!
Oh I was just talking about the total. 5x200MJ = 1GJ. Just noticed also that it's the same as my Skiron, so not as unique as I thought, but still best in class.pjknibbs wrote:You may be looking at the stats for the X3R Hyperion there...the one in X3TC uses 200MJ shields, like all other M6s.

the vali has higher shielding (6 x 200)dbrowdy wrote:Oh I was just talking about the total. 5x200MJ = 1GJ.

>.< Fine! The shields aren't important. They're still fast and can dock fighters and have the best laser regen. My point is I know why poeple like them so much now. I'd get it just for the docking bays TBH.Catra wrote:the vali has higher shielding (6 x 200)dbrowdy wrote:Oh I was just talking about the total. 5x200MJ = 1GJ.

Yeah the only way to get one is to capture it via boarding with marines. Yarrr!!! Plenty of threads all about how to do it...search for "boarding". In my experience, it's harder than they all make it sound.Jeremy Harbottle wrote:so are you saying that they are just flying around and that you can't buy them from a shipyard? I've looked in every paranid shipyard I know, and the only thing that comes close is a heavy nemesis!
Take it thats a different thing totally?

Yes, Hyperion Vanguard's are unbuyable, they can only be aquired via boarding (or returned if playing the Poisoned Paranid gamestart).
The Heavy Nemesis a different class of Corvette which is buyable.

Completely different classes of ship. A Deimos is an M7, so it's much bigger than the M6 Hyperion Vanguard and can't dock at all stations. The Vanguard is also quite a bit faster than a Deimos.Jeremy Harbottle wrote: and although its nice and fast, why would you bother if you can just buy a Deimos??

Also the Hyperion Vanguard can fire Wraith missiles which the Deimos can not.Deadbeat_Spinn wrote:Unlike a Hyp, a Deimos can only dock at certain stations. Plus a Hyperion is faster and more manuverable than an M7 (though originally the Hyperion Prototype from X3:R was an M7).
