It's a pity that the 600 CPU you originally reported on the Megathron wasn't accurate... I know it's designed as a brawler, but that makes it real easy to make it a fleet ship too. Large railgun fitting reqs are absurd. Ugh

The only thing Im worried about now is that only 6 turrets will look extremely ugly on the hyperion [just like the Myrmidon currently]

Why people think, that the Mega should be a sniper?
Please check out the new Domi bonuses!... then maybe learn drones.

Megathron:

With the Hyperion moving to more of a combat/utility ship via its drones, heavy mid-slot allocation, and spare high, we felt the mega could now afford to move towards a completely dedicated gun boat. Instead of the former 8/5/6 utility focused set up, we now have a 7/4/8 hybrid damage machine that has sacrificed its utility high (which was often unused) to gain another low - giving it more access to damage, damage application/projection, or tank. It stays in its attack role and therefor retains the previously described increases to speed and agility. This design should also fit the 'flavor' that the Megathron has spent a decade building much more accurately.

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonuses:
+5% Large Hybrid Turret rate of fire (replaces large hybrid turret damage)
+7.5% Large Hybrid Turret tracking speed

Slot layout: 7H(-1), 4M, 8L(+1); 7 turrets , 0 launchers(-2)
Fittings: 15500 PWG, 570 CPU(+20)
Defense (shields / armor / hull): 6300(+89) / 6500(-141) / 7500
Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / cap per second): 5800(+175) / 1087s / 5.02 (+.15)
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 122(+7) / .117(-.0046) / 98400000 / 15.96s (-.63s)
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 75(-50) / 75(-50)
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 72.5km / 95 / 7
Sensor strength: 21 Magnetometric Sensor Strength
Signature radius: 380(-20)


I approve of this updated service announcement and will be more than willing to endorse it with sexual favors.

Why not make it look like a panda? Or a tauren?

GTFO, the Dominix's charm is in its looks.

Hyperion:

+7.5% Armor Repair amount



My only, sole, solitary issue with the new Hyperion is the quoted hull bonus - active tanking is still pretty meh and most people who are going to use the Hyperion as a fleet ship will probably have not much use for local reps. Personally, I'd vote for a very modest - say 5% at max skills - bonus to either armor resists or armor hp.

Then again, the Myrmidon also has an armor rep bonus and its never exactly been a pushover, so Iunno. Aside from that everything looks good.

the potato look is outdated since it no longer has weapon bonuses it needs to have its appearance altered to match its primary weapon system not to mention its so ugly that it makes caldari ships look pretty in comparison (moa)

Here's the new and improved Hyperion. Based off of your feedback, this new version goes from 8 turrets to 6, while doubling its damage bonus from 5% per level to 10%. It also gains a larger drone bandwidth and bay, a utility high, and keeps its much-needed mid slot.


Gallente Battleship Skill Bonuses:
+10% Large Hybrid Turret damage
+7.5% Armor Repair amount

Slot layout: 7H(-1), 5M, 7L(+1); 6 turrets , 1 launchers


the old hyperion has the DMG of 10 Turrets 8 x 1,25
the new hyperion has the DMG of 9 Turrets 6 x 1,5

that hurt a little, but the new dronebay should make it okay. so, the new bonus is okay in my opinion.

btw i wish that the max velocity of hyperion increases a little bit. 144 m/s is to slow for his look

Heaven forbid someone decide see if a ship can be used in a manner that you do not personally approve of. And I'm well aware of the notional fleet domi, thank you very much.

we are using myrms, gilas end even prophecys to great effect for brawls [with sentries]


Yeah I could see them working in that situation I guess. It's not a common thing to see a sentry drone meta outside of slowcats in my experience.

The thing that irks me about sentries is this; even if you get in a close range brawl, where you should hopefully not move too far from your sentries, you really only need to move a little outside the tiny scoop range to be left with the decision to leave them or spend time collecting.

I don't feel really strongly about it to be honest but making sentries move on return or increased scoop range would be a nice change that would probably give more reason to use them. There are still big limitations with using sentries (destroyable, low tracking, only carry one or two flights) even if this idea were to be implemented.

I used to use drone ships a lot and now I rarely use them because using drones annoys me so much.

Any ship with a rear end that looks like a hippo's ass gets a +1 from me.
