Hyperion question
Hey guys, I'm a long time player coming back to X after a couple of years. I got x3tc when it came out bit I'm only really playing it now. I tried the search but couldn't find an answer to my questions.
The Hyperion that's toodling around paranoid space, is it the only one in the game and can it be capped? I've tried a couple of times with marines in a tp but haven't tried with an m7m yet.
Thanks
Jack

Oh look, I seem to at the bottom of a deep dark hole. That seems a familiar concept. What does it remind me of? Oh yes, now I remember, Life!
It can be capped, you probably will need the M7M to do it and even then you will need well trained marines. If the hyperion has internal defenses you might want to wait for one to show up that doesn't.
If you'r using the latest patch then it will be pretty hard, if you'r using 2.1 or earlier then it will be very easy.

Probably M6+ now because it is still better than most M6s.
But yes it was a good ship in Reunion but has been nerfed,as usual , for TC.
If you want a real fast Hype,then a certain start will gift you one and there is a way to get a higher speed than originally gifted with.
See elsewhere on this forum for that info.

I just capped my first non-reward hype in my current game (3.0). Got it first attempt and no reloads. Here's how:
He was alone in empires edge, had hull polarizing, no lasers/antihacking.
I used a previously capped cobra with 2-3 star rines, lowest fiight skill was 49.
I also had a magnetar with CLS and special command software.
I dumped 20 mk1 drones and had them ordered to attack. This began to drop his shields very slowly.
I dumped 10 mk2 drones ordered to attack shields. When the hyperion was below 6% shields I launched 2 pods. The hyperion was tailing me just outside weapon range.
I began giving stop orders to the mk1's. When I heard the equalization message I ordered all drones in sector to follow the magnetar(drone retrieval).
6 marines captured the hype with no losses. I the ordered the magnetar to collect the 5 floating marines. There were no hostiles in sector to appologise to.
Result was a 74% hull and no equipment of note except for a jumpdrive, which was convenient.

I capped my first Hyperion after finishing the Terran plot, so naturally I used a Springblossom. Since then I've managed to take one using my Eclipse and a team of marines spacewalking over from my Iguana Vanguard. Hard, but fun.
I've had more than 2 in the same sector, seems my universe like to populate with HypsBobucles wrote:There should be two Hyperion Vanguards that patrol around Paranid space.

Thanks for the info. I'll be capping on of these bad boys as soon as possible. Actually I have searched and I only have 1 Hyperion vanguard in my game at the moment. Loved it in x3r.
