Well, that's what you get for not being in a Drake.

Why a Hyperion?
It has only 6 low slots for a ship with an active armor tank bonus (which is mostly useless in PvP), no range, tracking or falloff bonus to its turrets, making it very hard to actually apply your DPS.
It also brings the cost of a tier 3 BS with it, whereas it can't really do anything the Domi cannot do better.

The only thing the Hyperion has going for it is its awesome ship model, which is sadly ruined by the turret placement on it.

Domi can field a better tank as it can commit all 7 low slots to the tank without hurting your DPS too much (both active or buffer). It is a lot cheaper and drones apply DPS a lot better and a lot further than blasters.



You should know that by know as an EVE player.
Optimal is 100% hit chance, Optimal+Falloff is 50% hit chance, Optimal+(Falloff*2) = 0% hit tchance.

Optimal is 2.3km, anything within that range can be hit 100% as far as range is concerned.
Falloff is 9km, so at 11.3km you got a 50% chance to hit the target.
Double falloff is 18km, so at 20.3km and beyond it drops to 0%, but anywhere between 11.3km and < 20.3km you still have a chance to do damage.

And by hit chance, Thezzy actually means potential damage. At optimal+falloff you only do 50% damage of potential max damage. Whether you actually hit your target or not is based on tracking, not distance to target. Just to clarify =).

Edit: Fixed grammar.

Chance to hit involves three things tracking, which contrary to popular belief just because hes within your tracking speed doesnt mean you score 100% in this category

Signature of Weapons vs Signature of Targets, YAARRR circle math

and of course distance in relations to optimal/falloff considerations

Missiles have it so fucking easy

Sure, explosion radius and speed are cake. Missile too big? Lose damage. Missile explode slow on a fast ship? Lose damage. Heavy missiles can easily have trouble doing significant damage to a fast frig.

And if you rig for either of those factors, you aren't helping yourself nearly as much against larger stuff.

Were you touched as a child? maybe you still are a child and are being touched by a step parent? What the hell is wrong with you that you have to ruin the game for others by being an asshole camper? Devient freak. Do you sniff solvents perchance? Some of us are trying to enjoy this game.
