Out of curiosity has anyone seen their chosen faction actually build one, ever? The dialogue made it sound like they would, but I haven't encountered any. Assuming it might be a rare job?
If you've seen one how was it used?
Hyperions in use?

Re: Hyperions in use?
Ever only seen 1 so far.
HOP built it. They sent it to defend True Sight, it behaved like it was an Odysseus E. It eventually died to an ANT Behemoth E with a very poor showing from it.
From what it seems, Hyperion constructions are very rare. That's probably a good thing, because a large number of these would doom the Paranid factions fast.
What I haven't tried yet is seeing how often they'll send buy orders for the Hyperion from my own shipyard. I imagine here is where you can get them multiple Hyperions, but I'm not certain on that.

Ah, maybe that's why I don't see them on the map. It does seem like a very fragile ship to let the AI fly it with normal destroyer rules. I had thought maybe they'd have it behave more M-like.

I've got PAR building Hyperions and sending them to defend Hatikvah's Choice 1's gate against Xenon, of all things. Only place I've seen them out in the wild.

In my most recent game I gave the Hyperion to the HOP because I like the color more. Then in rapid succession they took over faulty logic and misfortune. I'm not sure they used hyperions for that but I did see one in Frontier edge fighting with Antigone.

PAR had one near the EQ dock in Pious Mist but so far the only one I have seen.

Re: Hyperions in use?
Does anyone know if you can give it to the Duke if their station is complete? I think that would be a pretty cool option, i usually side with them, but in my current playthrough i have not even started building their station.
