📋 About This Mod
This mod is compatible with update 9. 0 and does not need updating.
The Hyperion feels a little under-tuned, especially in the defensive department. This mod is for those who wish to change that.
Hyperion:
1 Shield Slot -> 3 Shield Slots (+2)
Hull from 56,000 -> 112,000 (+56,000)
Mass 63. 081 -> 53. 081 (-10)
S Ship Storage from 2 -> 4 (+2)
I want only some of these changes:
The mod consists of loose files and is incredibly easy to change. Browse the files and remove or change the lines you don't want. You do you, it's your game.
Other changes?:
Probably. This is an initial version only and it's quite likely I might add some things to this. I'm not hugely keen on AI battlegroups of the ship as it feels right as something a bit more unique to the player.
I'll probably add that as an optional pretty soon.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 154 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Actively maintained, last updated March 2025, so it should work with recent patches.
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says—buffs the Hyperion without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Hyperion from the Mini DLC, so if you don't own that DLC, this mod is useless.
- No detailed breakdown of the buffs, so you won't know exactly what changes until you try it.
- Potential balance issues—buffs might make the Hyperion overpowered, which could reduce challenge.
For X4 players who own the Hyperion Mini DLC and want a stronger Hyperion without hunting for multiple mods. Skip if you don't have that DLC or prefer vanilla balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you own the Hyperion Mini DLC 01, or the mod won't affect anything.
- If you're using other ship mods, check load order to avoid conflicts—this mod changes the Hyperion's stats.
- Test the buffed Hyperion in a sandbox save before using it in a serious playthrough to see if it feels balanced.
