what the *** happen to him..............

[Harmful Mechanic]

From the broccoli of disappointment to angry blue croissant.

It's been reworked from phase-ship-with-training-wheels to what we have now, teleporting frigate that can go toe to toe with cruisers.

man this kinda change make you think you could have just give it a new name entirely, since it is practically a different entity altogether.

which tempus is now the only top tier end game dog fighters out there?

Say what? Tempest is a quarter the ship the the Hype is.

The new hyperion is an incredibly nasty ship. It may not have as much teleportation power as its old form, but it has better base flux then a medusa with that same .6 shield modifier, its teleport still lets it get around the battlefield incredibly quickly, and now it can do things like fit an assault chaingun with two pulse lasers, which is brutal when it appears behind you out of nowhere. Its logistics profile is wretched, but it always has been. If you want a "I never get hit and back stab constantly" ship, use the scarab or a phase ship of some sort. Personally, I feel "Omni present pocket destroyer" is a better fit for the thing than what it had before.

SO on the new hyperion basically lets it teleport like the old hyperion since the 0 flux bonus is always active. The windup makes it take a big of damage more frequently, but it's super strong. You kinda need wolfpack tactics stacked with other PPT buffs to have reasonable PPT though.

[Linnis]

Hyperion is the most DP/firepower you can get. In testing with the right build it can kill onslaught or Redacted capital faster most capitals in the game. Without using limited ammunition.

Not only that, due to the new teleport system you can teleport into enemy formations and pick off their frigates while using said frigates as a shield while you in a single digit DP ship tie up their entire main fleet while you chip away at their ECM as well.

The only thing it can't really do is fight shield efficient cruisers or stronger enemies 1v1, but you can kill all of its escorts anyways.

Overall, it's too OP and reminds me of supers hips from mods.

Having started on 0.95, I can say the Hyperion is my favorite flagship, overtaking the old SO Aurora. being able to teleport around at will with Safety Overrides installed is tactically very useful and with the shields and firepower to overpowered anything up to light cruisers. The downside being an incredibly short peak time and a very high CR lost per battle, requiring me to bring a spare along for more protracted engagements.

What I dislike is the fact that there is some kind of camera jank when you teleport at the furthest edge of where you can teleport after you get Systems Expertise. the camera no longer seems to center on you, which has led to my death on occasion due to needing to spend some time reorientating myself.

[Locklave]

I found one, happened to have a good captain for it. I have never seen a small ship bully redacted Brilliants like this before.

[Megas]

Kind of an annoying ship to use.  Needs Safety Overrides to teleport at will and to power all of the good weapons it needs... but then it has almost no PPT to speak of without Wolfpack Tactics (which I do not use).  It is effective, and player piloted Hyperion can sort of brawl an enemy capital.

[ConstitutionalPeasant]

It's still capable of taking down pretty much everything if you slot SO on it. The race is to the clock to get done what you need to before your CR gets low enough that things start having problems.

Currently doing a run with it as my flagship, and I've found 3x Mining Blasters works the best for me. Good alpha, doesn't spike the flux too much, and isn't charge limited. The trick is to do repeated flybys, and you can solo a paragon with ease. Tele to the other non shielded side of whatever ship it is you are fighting, immediately pop shields, and keep the S key pressed. Rinse and repeat until the ship is dead.
