I see we're still getting that abysmal armour-rep non-bonus on the Hyperion.

I've worked it out. The Hyperion is supposed to be fitted with a passive shield tank. Why didn't I think of it sooner?

Well, glad I've got Battlecruisers 5, sure as hell ain't going to be buying/flying those new BSs on release day.
Please don't.
I look forward to crashing into your Tier 2 BC at 1700 m/s in my shiny new hyperion and ripping you to shreds in a few seconds :)
Good luck tracking anything up close 
I know I'm being quite *****y here, I'm sure everything will work out...
I'm glad someone is sure everything will work out, because I have a sneaking suspicion that all these ships will make it on to TQ with no real changes. Which is great for the BCs, they've all been balanced nicely from what I can see and I'm looking forward to flying them. The Hyperion is seriously lacking as a blaster platform though. It's slow: only 5m/s faster than the Megathron, and the second bonus is redundant. Oh, and the grid is very weak.

Agility is more important that top speed.
Grid is okay if you're using electron II's/tank setup which is still excellent DPS.
O_o
The Hyperion has *less grid* than the Megathron and you think that's not a problem? It has the same mass as the Tempest and is 10m/s slower than it. This is not what I call "fast". This really, really sucks as a blasterboat.

Ditch the repair bonus on the Hyperion and replace it with the Mass/agility improvement discussed earlier. Or perhaps a 10%/lvl reduction in MWD cap use or something.
A blaster boat needs speed. Not repping.
Well said. I'd rather have the old MWD cap bonus back than this rep bonus.
