You either have to play without a propmod, allowing you to fit neutrons, or you play without ECCM, which means a griffin alone could be your demise.
On paper, the ship is awesome, but ingame it's easy to counter. A still remains aa strong ship, but as I said it's easy to counter. Sounds like you need to hop in a navy Dominix if you really need six mids to solo in an armor-tanking ship. All I'm saying with that is, you will get killed easily, because you have to either fly without a propmod, or without eccm, if theres a BB or a Falcon and you have no eccm, the fight's already over. Dude, the fight is more or less over in any ship if you're solo and a hostile gang you're fighting has heavy ecm support.... You're just bringing up over the top extremes in an attempt to disprove that the Hyperion is going to be beast mode solo ship... Lucky for us (the non idiots) it's patch day and we can start trolling the space lanes in our new 2k+ tank hyperions with over the top drone bays, utility high, and 1.1k dps. Hyperion is a great solo ship, i never denied that. I just said it's not as awesome as people think it to be, and by no means OP, since it can be counterd easily. Almost every lowsec fights ends in ecm spam, this kills the ship, but to be fair, that kills most ships. @ExAstra, almost every little lowsec guy has ecm either fitted, or drones, or an alt in a falcon. Being hotdropped or getting into a gang is far less frequently, though not uncommon :3 /edit: I like how people react as if I'd claim the hyperion is a bad ship, i love this ship already and now even more. I just say how it is, the ship is strong, but easy to counter.
These are problems with solo pvp (especially bs) in general. Any single ship is countered easily, very obvious. You have to compare it to other solo bs to see how it performs relative to them.
Hyperion will be extremely strong relative to its peers. Since solo nano-bs isn't a possibility except for mach or tempest (lol), hype will be by far the best solo bs.
