Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 15:19:00 - [1] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 15:19:50 Ok, to give you an idea, this fits: Hyperion Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II Ion Blaster Cannon II 100MN MicroWarpdrive II Heavy Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I Faint Epsilon Warp Prohibitor I Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I Empty Slot Large Armor Repairer II Armor Explosive Hardener II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Internal Force Field Array I Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II It leaves you with 395.9 Power and 34.5cpu for the last mid. So in general you can fit 1 rep with ions or 2 reppers with electrons. CPU is VERY tight.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 15:29:00 - [2] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 15:32:41 In general it is a decent blasterboat. Deadly at close range but very vulnerable to almost any form of EW. It was never supposed to be better than the Mega anyway. Drone bay should be at least simmilar to the Megatrhon as it is supposed to be a close range boat. I also think that the Mega needs a look now. Could use a smaller drone bay and a boost for long range combat. Edit: The above poster is correct. It is a pity that now that passive tanking is getting a boost we get a boat that has bonus to active tanking.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 16:30:00 - [3] Originally by: starship enginer for sniper fleets no matter how much the scrap heap challange cew tell you, tracking is not important at all 1: hyper gets 8 guns over 7. + 14.28% volley and +14.28% DPS!!! 2: it can fit 3 sensor boosters and get 233km with 3x named sensor boosters [+55% range ones, 256km with 3x t2] 3: it still has 2 slots for 2x tracking comps 4: with 3 sensor boosters and a good natural scan res it will lock targets much faster than a megathron 5: stabs are nerfed, so even if u need fitting mods, you got 3 dmg mods, 1dcu and 2 slots left to fit 6: MWD on snipers is pretty important these days with interdictor bubbles and it will be faster than the mega with them 7: BS tend to shoot BS and the tracking for taht is MORE than enough. 8: thanks tux for our new sniper, but then again as a galante spec char user the caldari boat looks half decent too at extream ranges! 9: this ship is a SNIPER not a close range boat. if anyone disagrees post a blaster setup that is better than the mega! 1. Agree 2. No, SB has stacking penalty. As the above poster said you get a max 204km locking range with 3 SB II 3. Yes, Mega can only fit 1 tracking comp and 2 tracking enhancer and the hipe can fit 2 TC and 1 TC. That partially offsets the tracking bonus in the Mega 4. Yes 5. Yes but you have les power grid so you can't fit a plate. 6. It is almost impossible to fit MWD and 8x425mm you will need a RCU II and you have only 1 low left for tanking stuff 7. Tracking is also a factor on the calculation of wrecking hits. So better tracking -> Better DPS, even against a BS 8. and 9. The limited locking range is a huge problem if you want to use it for fleet battles, so i gess it could be used to snipe in gate camps. However, i am still concerned about the Megathron. Looks like the Hyperion will be better bellow 204km and that the Rock will be better above 204km (because the Mega will be fithing in fallof).
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 16:54:00 - [4] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 16:55:18 The bonus has been discussed a lot and maybe it is a little late to change it but personally i would love to see a + ROF and + Armor resistance bonus in the Hype. Yes, it is like no other bonus in any gallente ship but it could be balanced. The + ROF would make blaster cap use very high so it would pretty much force you to passive tank it. Edit: I mean i don't like the current stats. As other ppl said it does not look better than the current Mega.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:02:00 - [5] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 17:04:23 Originally by: Butter Dog Originally by: Laocoon is there currently ANY REASON to choose the hype over a mega? 37.5% bonus per repper? That thing will tank like nothing else. The bonus is 37,5% x 800 / 11,25 = 26,6 hp/s or 1600hp/min So you get an extra 1600hp per repper per minute. I think it is not enough.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:34:00 - [6] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 17:34:33 Originally by: Radioactive Babe Edited by: Radioactive Babe on 24/10/2006 17:21:30 would a amarr command ship with gang bonuses have a stacking nerf with that 37.5%? ... if not a highly skilled gang assist person with implant in gang would add another 30+% bonus to resists, armour repped and cap used making this thing rep huge amounts of damage If the guy at the end of this thread is right its 36% bonus on fully skilled pilot with implant: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=415907 Yes but you have to consider that you only have 6 lows so Resistances ar going to be like 2 x 70% and 2 x 75% assuming that run a dual repper tank you devote all your lows to tanking (no Mag field stabs) You need lots of caps for weapons MWD is a must and gives you a 25% penalty If you compare the 35% bonus to a plate, each plate (after the planned boost) will give you 6300 HP. If the bonus adds 1600hp/min you need to repair for almost 4 minutes (2 with dual tank) to compensate for the plate than the Megatrhon can fit due to the extra grid.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:36:00 - [7] Originally by: Kaeten I'm disapointed. I don't think it is going to make it to tranquility with this stats.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:48:00 - [8] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 17:50:29 I made some numbers using Naughty boy's spreadsheet and it is outdamaged by the Megatrhon at any range with similar setups.
Zhull	Posted - 2006.10.24 19:28:00 - [9] Edited by: Zhull on 24/10/2006 19:31:41 Originally by: Hyperion instruction Manual "WARNING Do not use in close range combat. May explode if exposed to blaster fire" I still think that it needs more firepower than the Mega. The Megatrhon can fit bigger guns or NOS and has Drones that will hit you at 60km.
