For one of Blue Planet's next-generation warships, the Hyperion is a little underwhelming; her SBlue beams are fairly anemic, if not as poor as the SGreen, and she lacks the firepower or endurance to fend off fighters. Her pulse weapons do give her good standoff defense against incoming bombers, however, and on higher difficulties, they can pose a serious threat to fighters.

The front of it has no guns other than its two front firing beam cannons that don't even fire at warships half the time. The back of it is also a good bet, but be mindful of the engine wash.

Description:
BP:AoA Tech Room Description
The GTC Hyperion was developed shortly after the Second Shivan Incursion as a testbed for fusing Vasudan energy reactors with a Terran hull, preceded by the success of the Deimos corvette. The Hyperion combines the anti-fighter capabilities and speed of the Aeolus and the armor of the Leviathan. As such, the Hyperion is a formidible target for strike craft to engage. The Hyperion was the first Terran ship to mount new pulse weaponry, after successful testing on Vasudan ships. The Hyperion is rapidly filling the ranks of the GTVA, phasing out earlier cruiser models.
