I agree with everyone who doesnt think the hyperion will be a better balsterboat than a mega.
POINT 1. MWD bonus, Total waste. I fly my blasterthron in full gank mode, with neutrons abd a plate. Cap is immaterial, and as i fire the MWd at most TWICE during an engagement a bonus to it is a waste.
POINT 2. No tracking bonus. Tracking at close range is absolutely crucial. Yes the Hype may have an extra turret, but with 37.5% less tracking at lvl 5 i honestly wouldnt be surprised to find it has less real world DPS than a mega.
POINT 3. Smaller drone bay. It has been well documented that 5 Tech 2 Heavy drones are worth nearly 500 DPS. The Hype loses that. Personally i dont use them, preffering webber drones, but again, teh Hype wont have that option to it either. Compared to my setup then, the Hypes extra mis is negated by the ned to fit a webber.
POINT 4. Lighter. Therefore less structure. A Neutrathron best survival chance its 7500 structure with 58% resists. The Hype presumably will have less structure, and presumably less armour as well.
POINT 5. Versatility. It has none.
Sorry for the long post

Leam, it is clearly ypu that has never flown a Blasterthron.
The drawbacks u speak of are called BALANCE. I fly 1 and will take it 1 v 1 with any BS in the gang, cept mebbe a nos dom.
Nor is there anything wrong with blasters. Since the fix it is possible to set up a devastatingly effective Neutron fit. People say they should have more damage and stuff and they are clearly mental. The damage with neutrons and void is so extreme it renders any tank a waste of slots, NOTHING can survive it.
The idea of making a ship which is better at blasting than the mega is frankly sickening.
And as for the mega still having a place in the game.
The Rokh will exceed it as a sniper and ( if the devs *****pot plan works) the hype will exceed it as a blaster boat.
Mega therefore will be redundant.
