Hyperion Faction Variant

I've been playing EvE for a while now and I rather enjoy PvE and missioning along with some other industry related things.
I usually fly around in a Hyperion, and while it's a great ship, I'm in a position where I would like to upgrade. But not to a different ship.

I would absolutely love a PvE oriented Faction Hyperion, akin to the Megathron variant the Vindicator.
Setup wise, I think going with some PvE related bonuses like the Hyperion has would be nice.

The vindictor is set up like so:
Special Ability: 37.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret damage

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret tracking speed per level
Minmatar Battleship Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to the velocity factor of stasis webifiers per level

I was thinking the (Serpentis Faction) hyperion variant would be something like:
Special Ability: 37.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret damage.

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret tracking speed per level.
Minmatar Battleship Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to armor repair amount of armor repair systems per level.

With the general hull, armor and shield buffed up to "faction type" levels.

On a related note, I would generally just like to see the Tier 3 battleships get pirate faction or perhaps navy variants.

I mean, the hyperion description says:
"Recognizing the necessity for a blaster platform to round out their high-end arsenal, the Federation Navy brought in top-level talent to work on the Hyperion" - Hyperion

I'm rather surprised it doesn't have a navy issue yet.
I would pay real money to get such a ship introduced, sooner rather than later.

Navy faction ships get the same bonus as their standard counterparts (with a few exceptions like the SNI), +50% shield, armor and hull hitpoints and an extra slot.

There is no "special ability", that's only on pirate faction ships.

I'd love to see tier 3 Navy BSes. The reason that there aren't any is that tier 3 BSes are relatively new, they haven't made Navy variants yet. And, as Sam Bowein said, Navy ships get boosted stats from the T1 ones, pirate ships get bonuses (and they would have to add a second BS to each pirate race if they were going to make a pirate Hyper).

Well, you'd think that they would. Considering they made new tier 3 BC's.

Tier 1 navy BSs are pretty new (to me anyway). There were added though. Tier 3 navy/pirate ships are something I would like to see. How to implement them in a balanced way, that is a bit more difficult.
