azamy	Posted - 2008.03.14 07:42:00 - [1] Alright im going for a Hyperion. But I am curious, what kind of set up should I go for? How good of a combat ship is it? Can it hold its own in 0.0 combat?

ThatCpp Knights Of the Black Sun Brotherhood Of Steel	Posted - 2008.03.14 08:06:00 - [4] Edited by: ThatCpp on 14/03/2008 08:06:33 The hyperion is a very versatile ship, I've used it in both 0.0 as well as low-sec, in PVP and PVE(although never tried ratting with it). Its rather easy to fit one with both a good tank as well as good gank, and will still have room for tackling gear and MWD which are essential for small gang. I fit my PVP hype with... 6x modal mega ion, 2x modal mega electron Web, scram, Quad lif, Heavy cap booster II, Med cap booster II 2x LAR II, 2x EANM II, DCU II, Magstab II Rigs: 2x Aux Nano, anti-EXP pump The set-up puts out a considerable amount of damage and maintains a formidable tank. I recommend the hyperion to people who don't have exceptionally high SP as they haven't specialised in drones or gunnery yet, with specialised skills the other gallente ships are probably more effective for your isk. The hyperion is a fantastic battleship that is capable of performing well in most combat situations.

The hyperion is a fantastic battleship that is capable of performing well in most combat situations. Pretty accurate description really. With skills you'll find you are able to fit a full rack of T2 guns and a T2 MWD but it's the same thing dressed up. A worthwhile ship, does ok in fleet though if you have excellent rail skills and absolutely neeeed a fleet BS take the week or 2 to train Caldari BS to 4 for the Rokh.

He did not ask for sarcastic criticism. Rather than doing so, perhaps you might be more productive by answering his original question.

Karyuudo Tydraad Whiskey Pete's Drycleaning Services	Posted - 2008.03.14 11:48:00 - [9] There are a lot of workable setups for any battleship, and yes the hyp can hold it's own rather well.

Neddy Fox Hadean Drive Yards Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.03.14 13:39:00 - [10] TBH, the Hyp will be very expensive, and going lowsec / 0.0 will get you killed a few times. For PVE the Hyp is an absolute beast, but for PVP I really would suggest the MegaThron. You need the same skills, it was better tracking and a little bit less tank, but for starters it's HALF THE PRICE. Then, when you're comfortable with the Mega, you'll probably buy a Navy Mega next, instead of the Hyp. I did the same though : Went straight for the Hyp. A very expensive lesson.

Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.03.14 13:42:00 - [11] Edited by: Sokratesz on 14/03/2008 13:43:27 I'd advice you to start off with a thorax cruiser and get used to the style of play that comes with blasters. Then after a month or 2 have a look at the battleships again. edit A question like 'can it hold it's own in 0.0 combat' makes me shiver. In Eve, ships are nothing but tools and you will lose them very often compared to how often 'characters' 'die' in other MMO's. Focusing on something very expensive at an early stage will lead to great dissapointment.

Dude your settup doesnt make sense. You have a rep bonus and only 6 lows, and your trying to rep, have a plate tank, Damage (with blasters and mag stab and antimatter), and you have really low resistances with big holes all at the same time ? It doesnt work With 2 plates and 3 rigs you are going to be very slow, so getting into web range is going to be bloody hard. With the small resistances your hp buffer is gonna drop like a stone to anything that does decent dps. And for the guy who wants a battleship dont do this settup ^^ , if you want a plate tank , dominix or megathron are much better for it. Hyperion is a much better active tanker with 2 reps and resistances. Uber idea solves all !!

Good ambitious, see you in about 6-8 months in that hyp because that is how long it will take you to fly it half decently. By then I am sure you will have a better handle of the game and know what it does, etc. If you want to know for training train: armor tanking, blasters, gunnery, and drones (drones can be last).
Ryysa Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2008.03.14 16:59:00 - [22] Originally by: XFranc My own setup : Full Gank with Tank. I don't see what's gank about it. You have 2 Nos and not a single damage mod. Just a usual nossing ship. Just fyi, nos is not the answer to everything anymore, and you will die terribly with that setup to a mega who knows when to inject. EW Guide - KB Tool - My Music
Taguchi Hiroko Deadly Addiction Un-Natural Selection	Posted - 2008.03.14 17:10:00 - [23] Edited by: Taguchi Hiroko on 14/03/2008 17:14:24 for PvP Hyp, plenty of setups here already. Blasters work great on Hyperion. here's a PvE for ya, lv4, plexes, 0.0 rats are cakewalk in this one 8 X 350mm rail t2 3 X cap recharger t2 100mn ab t2 heavy cap injector t2 2 X EANM t2 DCU t2 2 X LAR t2 mag stab t2 rig it with 2 aux nano pump and 1 pg rig. load it with t2 med and small drones for frig sized rats (no heavies needed) you might need implants to fit it all, and maxed out fitting skills. reps about 2800 per cycle with overall nearly 70% or more (lil less with explosive) resist, and with a med sec container u can hold up to 20 cap boost 800 and 2000 ammo (I use antimatter or spike, depends on range, remember to put a sensor boost t2 on mid while dropping one cap recharger t2 if you go for spike). Gallente PvE at its finest. Hyp is indeed a versatile ship. :)

Hybrid tanks are tried and true, with a lot of advantages I won't get into. But this is largely why I generally don't share setups on the eve-o forums. 8)

Euriti SniggWaffe	Posted - 2008.03.15 14:40:00 - [43] Originally by: azamy Alright im going for a Hyperion. But I am curious, what kind of set up should I go for? How good of a combat ship is it? Can it hold its own in 0.0 combat? As suggested, a MegaT or a Dominix will serve you better in low sec / null sec due to the cost but you won't be in a BS beforey you have about 5-6 million SP. I'd suggest getting in a Thorax with this setup: [Thorax, Solo Rax] Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I Damage Control II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Medium Armor Repairer II 'Langour' Drive Disruptor I J5 Prototype Warp Inhibitor I 10MN MicroWarpdrive I Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] Hammerhead I x5 It's not very SP intensive and it's awesome. Burn to the enemy with MWD and throw web scram on when within range, unleash drones and blasters and use repper untill you hit 30% cap, then stop repping. _______________________________________________________________________________ Reducing lag, one carebear at a time.
Arifel The Scope	Posted - 2008.03.19 15:21:00 - [44] I Disagree with some prior posters' description of the Hyperion as a general purpose ship to use when you aren't specialized at anything. The Hyperion fits some very specific roles better than the two cheaper Gallente BS's and worse for all others. It has to either make good use of the 8th turret hardpoint by putting lots of damage mods in a gank setup, or make good use of the repair bonus with dual large repairers and auxilliary nano rigs. My pirate Hyperion is fit as follows: High: 4x Ion Blaster II 4x Electron Blaster II Medium: MWD 24km Scrambler Web Hvy Cap Booster Sensor Booster Low: 2x LARII DCII 2x EANMII MFSII Rigs: 3x Auxilliary Nano With this set up it tanks and tackles better than a Mega, but does significantly less damage with only 1 damage mod and fewer drone allowance. Performs the role of the heavy tackler better than a Myrmidon, but I still keep Myrmidons around because the improvement isn't always worth the liability a rigged Hyperion represents.

My flatmate went pvping when he was a noob and gets excited when he attacks somebody in a noob ship in lowsec, i recently saw his kills to deaths, he's still living it down. anyways so I don't derail this thread any more: hyperion is a harsher version of the megathron in terms of most things, it has a rep bonus but a weak capacitor, nowhere near enough grid and a gimped drone bay. the megathron is one of the most skill intensive BS in the game after the typhoon (phoon isn't really important here, you will understand soon enough). For a start, as in in within the next few months, I would recommend flying a dominix, it will be much more forgiving to your level of skill points since it relies primarily on drones thus doesn't have a lot of the fitting problems a lot of newer people have since you shouldn't have many guns on it. Later on when you have better skills fitting guns on a dominix can make it even more awesome. Also its worth pointing out that on a megathron depending on skills, maybe 30 - 40% of your damage can come from drones (yes this does mean a dominix can match a hyperion for damage easily [it just cant tank at the same time]) a good fitting for a dominix would be something along the lines of: highs: (not really important) drone link augmenters 1 gun for agro (preferably a laser since it has no ammo usage) tractor beams salvagers (its generally acknowledged that you should have a 1 to 1 ratio or more tractor beams [here I would like to point out that this is not tyhe topic of the thread]) meds: 5 cap recharger II (cap recharge is where you want the best mods imo, cap recharge II make such a massive difference compared to their tech 1 varients) OR 4 cap recharge II 1 100mn Afterburner (use a LIF, they're very cheap) OR 3 cap recharge II 1 cap booster 1 100mn afterburner lows: 2 large armour repairer 4 hardeners 1 capacitor power relay (again dont skimp on the cap, get a beta reactor control version or a tech 2) drones: 5 ogres 5 hammerheads OR 5 hobgoblins It cant hurt to have spares here, I said use ogres because they do the most damage, but you will find out about damage types and the balance between doing more damage and the damage of the correct type (if indeed you haven't already) rigs: (when you can afford it) depending on your choices with cap modules above will be a mix of capacitor control circuits (likely at least 1) and auxiliary nano pumps For your first time around, take this to some level 3 missions, you shouldnt have much trouble, aproach level 4's cautiously, with low skillpoints many missions require a degree of tactical awareness. In level 4's http://eve-survival.org/missions/ will be your friend

oogs Ex Coelis	Posted - 2008.03.20 03:44:00 - [49] Originally by: vostok <snip> Vostok has it right. I'm a relatively new player (3 months), and I've been flying a Dominix for a little over 6 weeks now. It is definitely the way to get your foot in the door with L4s. I've spent the last month training skills that overlap between the Domi and the Hyperion. Originally I was going to use a Mega as my next step, but I can't fit one that was cap stable, had a high defense, and could put out a reasonable amount of damage. The Hyperion fits all those requirements, so I went with it instead. Dominix High: 1x Medium NOS 4x Dual 2500 Prototype Railguns, Antimatter L/Iron L 1x Drone Link Augmentor Med: 5x Cap Recharger II Lows: 4x Rat specific Hardeners 2x LAR II 1x EANM II or DC II Drones: Mission specific (10x large, 10x med, 5x small) Rigs: 3x CCC Notes: I'm almost cap stable here. I need the NOS to even it out if I'm using Antimatter, but that will change once I get Energy Systems Operations 4. Alternatively, just use 3 guns. I can afk the vast majority of missions with this. Hyperion High: 8x 350mm Prototype Railgun I AM L/Iridium L Med: 5x CR II Low: 4x Rat specific Hardener 1x LAR II 1x EANM II or DC II Drones: mission specific (4 heavies OR 10 mediums) Rigs: 1x CCC 2x Aux Nano Pump Notes: I'm still tweaking this one. It isn't as forgiving as my Domi, but with implants I can rep 1.1k armor every 12 seconds or so. The sheer amount of armor (10k) and shields (7.5k) and hull (10k) make this a beast. I'm working on gunnery skills so that I can target/snipe from further out, and drone skills so that I can use them past the initial 45km limit. Also, if you're acting as fire support for someone else, swapping out all the lows for MagStab IIs will increase your DPS by 50% (in my case, from 300 to 450). Not bad for a 3 month old char :) To the OP: Keep in mind that this game is open-ended, so don't be in a rush to hit BSes. There is a LOT more to do, and LOT of ways to make money. Also, while you're on the way up, train 1 rank of destroyers + 3 ranks of salvaging + 3 ranks of science so that you can use a destroyer as a salvager.
Asuka Smith StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2008.03.20 05:52:00 - [50] I love the altposter who acts like he has been at 20m+ SP his whole life and never had a trial account and glanced in awe at a Raven or a Dominix... The most satisfying part of EVE was hopping into my raven six months after I saw one for the first time on my way to do Worlds Collide in my Merlin. I swear that feeling is up there with graduating from school or any other major accomplishment in life. Quit being *******s.

Forum Warrior Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.03.20 09:58:00 - [51] Originally by: oogs Personally, for PvE, I would rank the Gallente BS as: Dominix (easiest, preferable), Hyperion (reasonable, be cautious), Megathron (hard to fit, it wants to be both the Hyp and the Domi at the same time. Use for PvP!) Once you have good skills you'll find that Hyp sucks for missions. 350s quite frankly have **** range, and you don't need all the tank a Hyp gives you in 80% of the missions. IF you do one where you need the tank, THEN use the Hyp or just a cheap dual rep Domi - no one forces you to stick to the same ship for all missions. You can fit a cap stable 3 hardener 1 rep tank on a Mega with 7x 425 IIs + ABII with a tracking comp on, FYI - which is enough for about all missions where you don't get dumped into huge initial aggro, if you don't make stupid mistakes. 31km vs 41km optimal with a TC2/antimatter and range script is a rather huge difference. You can't fit 8 425s + LAR without fitting mods on a Hyp, half/half 425s/350s work, but then you have to mix ammo. Plus it's hard to get cap stable with 1 LAR / 2 mag stab / 3 hardener tank, while having 2 mids for TC/AB - not to mention 350s with 1 TC2 with tracking script track worse on a Hyp than 425s with the same TC do on a Mega. And last but not least .. Hyp does have slightly higher gun dps even when mixing guns to fit, but Mega can easily use 4 sentry drones / 5 lights to have superior/same dps (depending on dmg type) in drone control range (54-57 km, realistically, which should be vs nearly everything). But, yeah, for low SP Domi is the way. You'll need those drone skills to get everything out of your Mega later, anyway.

I swear that feeling is up there with graduating from school or any other major accomplishment in life. Quit being *******s. I hear you man. I rember first and second day i played i saw the Megathron and Raven compared to puny me and i said to myself i will get in that as fast as i can. 2 1/2 months i am in one then i lose it : P. but it was out of my system. But yeah go for the domiit is an awesome ship not good on looks but it will more than compensate for bad skill. noted i never used one but i am going to since i was strong caldari but want to go with my race. so going to get in one while i train hot gun skills for my hyperion which i already have.but on quick fit i ran some set ups with no guns in high for domi just using drones and i had sligthly more dps than my raven. that what i felt like and i have over a mill sp in missiles.so the domi will love you the best.

Yes, the Hyperion is a fine ship that can survive in 0.0. Focus a lot on training skills in "Mechanic", in order to take advantage of it's armor tanking bonuses. A properly fit Hyperion has a very nice tank.
