Is there any station or "used ship selling" that sales the Hyperion? It looks awesome and I love it's energy cap but can't find it.

From what I've read you have to steal it. And to top that off it's darn hard to even find one to steal.

Ah I see, nuts.. I have 17 million credits, and still flying around in a Solano. I guess I better get a M6 or M7 then.

I'm assuming we are talking Terran Conflict.

There's two legit ways to get Hyperion Vanguard:

1) Board one - look around the sectors governed by the species who built the vessel. For boarding advice, look around teh forumz

2) Complete Tormented Teladi start-up Quest to enable
Poisoned Paranid start to aquire an overtuned version of Hyperion Vanguard

Thanks for the info. I figure I should do #1 and since this is my first game and I want to test everything out b4 I do any others.

Anyone know where Hyperion V normally is around? I have satellites around paranid Prime but can't find it... >.<

I've seen at least 4 flying around at the same time. Not sure if there's a limit

There's usually one flying around Empire's Edge/Dukes Domain, you will also find one hanging around near Cardinal's Domain and those borders sector around that area.

I suspect they are like the M7Ms probably owned by military bases so you should check out their info, see what ships they own and where they are...

Not sure if the Hyp can be offered second hand from a shipyard - you can get M6s this way, but not sure is it's a restricted list...

If you haven't already, I suggest taking the time to set up an extensive satellite network through out the galaxy. It makes shopping for goods much easier when you need to equip a ship. It's not very expensive either. All you need is to find a good m5 with speed. The kestrel works very well, but any scout ship with a cargo bay that can hold a decent load of satellites works well too. I forgot what software it needs exactly. I think it's explorer software, but it might need navigation software too... or whatever it's called. (Haven't played TC in a while, think I had a x3 burnout) Either way, once you have a good network setup it becomes drastically easier to find the hyperion when you get real-time recon of a sectors.

17 million you say? Buy an Elephant I say. Mount a Mobile Drilling System and Ore Collector. Sell ore to corps. Great Profitsss.

Or buy a Dragon with jump drive 5 3+* in fighting marines (get them training) and while their training do assassination missions and the like until your marines are ready, then load them up and cap you a HV. Its quiet a rush doing it in a Dragon too, as you have to be quick or the turret fire will start to hurt

Well, I netted my very first cap and my very first Hyperion, now any suggestions about weapons loads?
