i have lots of them around cardinals domain and i tend to claim them in friars retreat. they sometimes wander a bit off the normal tradelines... perfect moment to cap them but you wont see them on improper set sats...

fly around that sectors and you will find one eventually. i also seen them in emperors ridge
trouble with boarding? try this!

Hyperion?

Hi shea,
Please clarify on your next post which game this is, if you are playing AP ignore what I am saying. As highflier stated, the favourite hunting grounds are around Cardinals Domain. One usually sees it near Paranid core sectors and it has been said there are two in flight in Paranid sectors at any time. I have certainly seen two of them in a sector at the same time. In addition to adv. sat.s in all Paranid sectors I would be tempted to have a scout ship in each sector near Cardinals Domain, mapping the sectors. Keep checking round them and if seen set your scout to follow or protect.
I always use M7M and pods but it can be done with M6 or TM without pods, as ever with boarding keep saving game and if things go wrong, replay!

There are always 2 running around Paranid space. What I did to find them is to have adv sat around junction systems (Paranid Prime, Emp Edge, Emp Ridge, Trinity Sanctum, Card Domain, Friar Retreat and Pontifex Seclusion.
You will spot one in no time.

The only thing you can do really is to drop satellites everywhere and just wait and watch. If you can, try and find a civilian version. It's a hell of a lot slower than the military ones and easier to board.

The max speed is the same, yes, because that depends on the ship. However, that specific ship could only go 101 m/s while military ones push 150 m/s

Yes, Civilian versions rarely have max tunings. Not entirely sure why, but there you go. I don't remember seeing a civilian version in TC though.

There are usually two HPV's running around in Paranid Space. Usually one in the 'Home' sectors near PP, and the second in the southern sectors, usually a long patrol between Perdition's End and Heaven's Assertion.

I usually hit them as they cross Desecrated Skies. Nice big sector, lots of room to work.

in my AP game I saw an HV camping the south gate of Ocracrokes storm. Not sure what it was doing but it stayed there for a while killed a few Ryu's and then sloped back off through Savage Spur.
