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. | The '''Hyperion''' is a Tech 1 Gallente battleship.

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. | Blaster-fitted Hyperions must face the challenge of all blaster ships: getting into ranges where they can apply blasters' tremendous potential DPS.

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. | In ancient Greek mythology, Hyperion was a mythological precursor deity associated with the Sun.

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