I was just looking at stats from the test server trying to find something of value with the Hyperion...
In almost everyway it is inferior to the Mega as a blaster platform. So I thought to myself? Well maybe this is like a tier 1 1/2 BS for mineral reqs... that would make sense because of how oviously inferior it is... So I looked up mineral reqs to get an idea of how much it would cost...
Boom... Linkage
Haha, it will cost about 20% more then all the other Tier 3 battleships in game... making it the sub-par megathron you pay twice as much for, lmao.

The nerf lvl on Gallente isn't even fair... it is just out right malicious. I was honestly shocked with all the changes.
Numerous devs post about Domi/Ishtar PG/HP/Cap issues... justifying them with the fact that their use of ECM balances them out... which was fair
Now... they nerf ECM with no change in those ships stats...
Finally give the Deimos more PG and kill blasters...
Introduce a tier 3 BS that is worse as a blaster boat then the megathron...
Give us another weak drone boat for a tier 3 BC knowning ECM was being nerfed..
seriously the mineral reqs on the Hyperion makes it just retarded... hahaha!
In regards to your comment about everyone flying Caldari... I honestly like the other races new ships/stats. Not just the Caldari ships... Tux just wanted to truly crush Gallente pilots I guess... Seriously just hammer almost every major Gallente ship in game...

wow... this is funny. I start this thread and everyone is sitting here debating which will be slightly better as a blaster boat... Megathron of Hyperion...
Look at the mineral reqs on the Hyperion. The Mega costs 100mil vs the Hyperions 200mil...
All the other Tier 3 BS are a massive improvment over thier Tier 2... and will be well worth the cost.

Originally by: Oiri Yusko Please post constructively. 
No offense but this should be pretty clear and hopefully constructive...
1 != 2
Creating a tier 3 BS that is less than or equal too a tier 2 BS should equal the mineral cost of a tier 2 BS. The Hyperion is nothing special, not really better as a blaster boat then a mega... It is in no way, shape, or form a tier 3 blaster platform.
All the other races got a true tier 3 BS, designed to fit the large class weapons in their respective role and a full tank. The devs apparently don't want Gallente to have a tier 3 BS... that is their choice and we all have to deal with it... However there is logical reason that the Hyperion is the MOST expensive tier 3 BS in game by a large margin.
The devs created the Hyperion to:
Hyperion = Blasterthron
So:
Hyperion Min Cost = Megathron Min Cost
Not:
Hyperion Min Cost = Rhok + 20% Min Cost
