I don't remember the rule off of the top of my head, but is it something about accelerating a rotating object causing a force along the axis? (Thereby pushing the hyperion either up or down?)
If so, I would have though that they could at least compensate for that effect in the thruster control computers.

They look pretty decent, I was expecting something more from the command version though. Kinda seems like a down graded version of the regular one.

I hope the Omega get the same treatment soon.

I hope the new Hypes are better than the old ones. As a side note, I would want to see an early Hyperion for the Early Era List as lasers were much less common(also a possibility to erase the laser-twofler) and it would have particle cannons (read, simple beams, no dd) and plasma cannons.
Just my 0.2 cedits. :wink:

It is good to see that they actually have gun barrels.
Mannnn, I like what I am seeing and I like the idea, I DID want to complete a special group of 5 assault Hyperions, and I only have two of the current molds, they would look even better with a couple of these newer ones on the table, hmmm, looks like I better get busy and grab three more.
I do like what this portends however, and also hope to see this for other ships, not just EA either (tho those are the ones I am most likely purchase) adds a ton of flavor!

I read somewhere on the forum that they were thinking of making it forward of the "conning tower".

so they would have the base mounting in the
same spot as the FA scale ones ?
I really appreciate the idea would make them more stable.

It is, the Raid PL version in 2e loses it's twin-linked plasma cannon and rear laser but gains a command bonus. It has it's old-style plasma turrets upgraded to Pulse turrets.

Well lot's of positive noises concerning the new Hyperions then 
.
Concerning the basing arrangement; most of the new ships will not have guns mounted on the lower section where the old version had it's base mounting point. This will give a much better mounting area, flat and still at the balance point of the model. Those variants which do have the lower guns; the guns themselves will be slightly wider than those on the old models, this will also give a much sounder point at which to mount the ship.

I like it. It's also one of my favorite ships so I am happy to see it getting redone.
Speaking of the Olympus, does anyone know if the new, smaller, two pack is what is generally available now when you order from stores? I'd hate to order some just to get more of the old ones.
