[rant] Having said that, it seems to me that its a bit of a cop out that you can get an "undertuned" HV as a reward for the mission. After three or four days of game time one is generally in the position to board an HV anyway. Of course, some people are not into boarding and this is the only way to get an Hyperion, but i feel that it should nevertheless be overtuned every time (at least at 16 enginge tunings). [/rant] .... |
Check the other free ship you get along with the Hyperion. Oftentimes, it gets overtuned as well, plus some other free goodies installed. I think the RNG gives approximately the same value of items each time. It's just that most players really only want a fast Hyperion and don't care about the other rewards.

I don't see how these two statements fit together.  |
Point taken.
Of course, there is not just the choice of "Immersion ON" and "Immersion OFF". 
I just like to strike the balance between playing as immersively as possible while still having the opportunity to reload if I feel like I deserve a little better for just having spend weeks of my time.

True. I noticed that the shields and weapons of both ships tended to be better with a lower top speed on the Hyperion (more high-level marines, for example), but as you said I was only interested in a zippy HV.

I only got mine to 202.9 and quit after 20 mins but also noticed that when my hyperian got a crappy speed the other ship got the speed boost instead. (forget what it was called advanced something)

I "cheated" and edited the game memory so that I could get the 27 engine tunings and 26 rudder tunings without a modified tag. The max speed is 125152/500 = 250.304. If anyone wants I can post the method used. You can do this on a hyperion that you already have also.

Yeah, you said that in another old thread you just dredged up. Why do you feel the need to commit serial necromancy?
