==Summary==

== Summary ==
The Hyperion is the gallente combat battleship. It is bonused for hybrids, but has no preference between railguns or blasters. The Hyperion is typically not a popular ship; the [[Megathron]] has similar firepower and fleet PvP performance, while the [[Dominix]]'s selectable damage types make it superior for most PvE activities. However, it's one of the only Gallente ships that can fit an acceptable sniper fit for incursions, and the Hyperion excels in small gang and solo PvP situations where logistics isn't available. In the latter scenarios, should any ship be unfortunate enough to get caught within blaster/web range, it is likely to melt ''very'' quickly.
+
The '''Hyperion''' is a Tech 1 Gallente battleship. It is the [[battleship]] entry in the Gallente's long line of active armor tanked blaster brawlers, including the [[Incursus]] and [[Brutix]]. It is commonly used as a blaster brawler. The already good DPS of blasters combined with the Hyperion's damage bonus and big drone bay lead to impressive DPS at point blank range. The Hyperion has an armor repairer bonus and a lot of hull hitpoints. This means the Hyperion is often active armor tanked or hull buffer tanked or a mix of those. In the case of a mix, ancillary repairers are a popular choice.
 +
Many incursion groups suggest the Hyperion as an entry ship to progress into a [[Vindicator]].

''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Hyperion for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
+
Due to the Hyperion's abysmal tracking, it is recommended to train {{Sk|Motion Prediction}} to 5 in the long term in order to have any chance of hitting small, evasive ships. Additionally it is a good idea to brush up on drone skills to gain an alternate method of dealing with frigates.
 +
While meta modules can work om the Hyperion it is highly recommended that you train for a Tech 2 armor tank; combined with the rep bonus this can make for a very tanky battleship.

{{ShipFitting|
+
Blaster-fitted Hyperions must face the challenge of all blaster ships: getting into ranges where they can apply blasters' tremendous potential DPS. As it is a battleship and, unlike the Megathron, has no bonus to tracking, the Hyperion pilot must also pay attention to their ability to track smaller targets. Assistance from smaller [[tackling]] ships able to web targets and turn targets' MWDs off makes a big difference.

The Hyperion is a popular ship for those starting to fly incursions whilst they are upskilling for Pirate Battleships. The posted fit for Vanguard Fleets lists the ammo to use as Caldari Navy Antimatter.  Recently I've been using Null L ammo and I've been having a lot of success with it.
+
== Notes ==
 +
In ancient Greek mythology, Hyperion was a mythological precursor deity associated with the Sun. Some writers considered him the father of [[Helios]], while others treated "Helios" and "Hyperion" as names for the same figure.
  
It has less DPS per shot than the antimatter rounds however due to the much greater range I find that I'm landing many more hits, consequently my DPS is higher. That being said I always fly with both ammo types in my hold as at very close ranges the antimatter ammo is the better.
+
Like the [[Tempest]], the Hyperion shares its name with a major literary work, in this case, an unfinished epic poem by John Keats.

Due to the Hyperion's abysmal tracking, it is recommended to train Motion Prediction to 5 in the long term in order to have any chance of hitting small, evasive ships. Additionally it is a good idea to brush up on drone skills to gain an alternate method of dealing with frigates. While meta modules can work om the Hyperion it is highly recommended that you train for a Tech 2 armor tank; combined with the rep bonus this can make for a very tanky battleship.

Pilots mounting a local active tank to take advantage of the hull bonus must prepare for the extra cognitive load of managing the tank directly during combat and should remember that they can overheat their tank to improve its performance in a tight spot.

Notes

In ancient Greek mythology, Hyperion was a mythological precursor deity associated with the Sun. Some writers considered him the father of Helios, while others treated "Helios" and "Hyperion" as names for the same figure.

Like the Tempest, the Hyperion shares its name with a major literary work, in this case, an unfinished epic poem by John Keats.
