Me yesterday: "The Hyperion seems kinda gimmicky and not practical at all." Me today: "I'll take your entire stock."

I discovered this by accident when I was doing the bismark mission. I gave the hyperion to the ai and put safety overrides on it and it started teleporting everywhere.

the luddic path probably tried to sabotage the unholy technology

That vid of a fights vs redacted shows it's good for the AI officers as they can teleport to safety, but as a player if you prefer going combat skills over campaign ones it would scale so much better with piloting a capital.

advanced piloting tactic you can use while using the ion pulsars is to disable an enemy capital ship or cruisers engines and then push them away from their allies allowing your ships to easily gang up and merc them.

the hyperion doesnt benefit as much from extra capacitors as it does from hullmods due to its high base flux stats and low OP

Few ships actually benefit from capacitors when they could have extra vents instead. Having a higher flux cap means very little once you reach that limit because you still have to get rid of all that flux somehow. Unless you're flying an unusual modded ship or modded hullmods that actually interact with your flux level, dissipating flux faster is ALWAYS better. I'd even take a flux distributor over capacitors.

@@therealbahamut i disagree. the extra vents start to benefit once youre passively venting flux for over 20~ seconds if you can punch thru shields within that time frame, then the extra capacitors are worth it

@@therealbahamut what about battleships? Won't their big base capacities necessarily mean it will take a long time for them to vent, and therefore you want to vent as infrequently as possible?

some tips for anyone new using hyperion the phase teleporter has almost infinite range - you can get various meme set ups like instant transmission behind a capital and just fire typhoon reapers if you use command points properly you can get them to alpha strike and flee very efficiently (it teleports where your cursor is, not a fixed length like other phase skimmers) if you don't like the alpha strike set up you can opt for a phase lance set up with advanced optics and targeting unit and just tickle them to death. those lances are usually better on phase ships

As someone once said "If it doesn't have SO is it really worth flying"

With this shield flux production you would get more flux dissipation with stabilized shields than from the same OP put into vents I think, as long as stabilized shields cost under 15 OP.

Safety override is more then just flux

in my experience it helps to put a proximity charge launcher in the universal slot. It allows you to wipe out dozens of fighter wings faster than omen spam, *and* it's dps is comparable to a heavy blaster as it has the same base damage and fire rate (albeit a different damage type and limited ammo). fighter spam generally counters ships with poor pd, especially frigates, so it's worth considering on a player piloted hyperion. the ai tends to waste all of the ammo shooting it at shields though.

It’s good for capturing objective points early and chasing down any retreating ships you want to grab

Best setup for SO hyperion i found was 2 heavy blasters on the sides and 1 cryoblaster in the middle, you can get one if you use the jump in the secret spot from the story (you dont need to do any quests the spot is always there) and go to the hidden cache. Its not guaranteed but you can always save and reload until you get one

heavy mortar in the universal is a good low op/flux option imo

I would say that with the latest update afflictor with 3 AB is the new Hyperion but much cheaper, in hands of the player it can easily wipe out medium fleet solo, hyperion wouldn't be able to do this simply because of peak performance limitation.

Good ship. I used in one of the missions but it is hard to play, just need to practice it.

Huh, and to think I only used this as my designated chaser for so long... No safety overrides just 2 heavy blasters and a chain minigun used to catch fleeing transport ships. Instead I could've been using it to blow up capital ships.

I want an entire pack of those

yes man

A frigate sized ship with two heavy blasters IS pretty potent but 90 seconds PPT is just too tight a timetable for me. Sticking around after PPT just ends up costing tons of supplies and you're gambling on malfunctions too. One engine failure could cost you your ship. Some folks like making it work but it's just not for me.

Awesome video :), could you do a video showing off the non-capital ships that are good to get? I feel like I probably miss many!

The teleport + sheer speed of the ship is just ridiculous.

Yeah it can be a little terror. Fitting given that it is the epitome of high-tech: Fast, powerful, and extremely expensive to buy and upkeep. My personal favorite build for SOHyp is Heavy Blaster [upgradeable to Cryoblaster], Ion Pulser [for stunning], and a Heavy Machine Gun in the center for very flux efficient shield cracking. Three or four of these alongside my Zig made good work out of the doritos. In fact, next time I start a new save I may try for a frigate-only run. There's certainly enough skills to help them.

Definitely one of the coolest ships to run micros with. If I were good at running that micro it'd beat the harbinger for favorite ship.

Yeah, I actually use it for energy officers with mid-sized omega weapons since they nerfed Fury. Quite decent with Wolfpack Tactics.

Moshi how about make your fleet entirely out of super ships the frigate sized super ships

I remember using that one officer skill that gives extra ability range and cooldown. On omens it gives them real long EMP zaps that almost constantly go. But on the Hyperion... oh lord... I just watch the AI teleport all over the place during fights. Though sometimes they derp and mess up, but I'd do the same TBH. =P

i know this new Hyperion is in all likely hood better than the old Hyperion but i still like the old one better.

You could just kite at the maximum range of the HB when you tele behind it instead of hovering in range of even its point defences, thats just more stuff shooting at you.

whats your opinion puting 2-3 puslers on this cause had luck with it being a EMP monster

How you get 4 cost flux coil? I forgot

I know next to nothing about Starsector, let alone having a oc to olay it on, but by this video it is safe to assume to call this ship the equivalent of Minato from Naruto™

yeah man. you can just murder capitals in group fights with an ion pulser + two mining blasters. stray large gun hits during the teleport animation can delete you though

I suggest using heavy blasters instead since they're better than mining blasters in general

Hi man i got something you might wanna try. Make wanzer from diable mod have 6 unit per squadron/LPC on all type, try it for maximum gundam level mech swarm

how did you teleport with flux? safety overwrites?

Why you no three heavy blasters?

Do your AI pilots do well in this ship? I like to roll around in big beefy capitals but I could see myself putting some pilots in a couple of these and bringing them along as flankers.

This ship wouldn't last two seconds against my allegiance class battlecruiser...

I'd definitely give an ion pulser and a phase lance a go. It's a fairly reliable combo for most ships I use, and adding a heavy machine gun just makes it better.

How necessary are Safety overrides?

wy not miningblasta?

you decided to put safety overrides instead of a Reaper launcher to punch through the enemy's rear armor faster

SO lets you teleport whenever because you can't vent.

I always run 3 heavy blasters, all linked. You don't WANT "sustain" on a ship like the hyperion, you want to dump your load as quickly as possible and then gtfo. Then you can teleport back in and do it again and again.

Aren't three phase lances with High Scatter Amplifier faster at killing. You seem to miss quite a few of the blaster shots, there is no missing with phase lances.

I see sou use Starship Legends. Do you use an older version? I cant run it.
