Problems Piloting the Hyperion.

[BZSubmaximal]

I posted previously that I have the Hyperion Given to me, I believe it is a base/Stock non Modded Hyperion. And I am sent a on the deliver AGI parts quest. Problem is my Hyperion is not equipped with a docking software. I worked around that by trying to dock. That was partially successful because it allows me to dock, but the doesn't give me the upgrade ships option . If the AI Mnages to dock, it says, "undocking soon" before my Software upgrades get installed(literally less than 15 seconds) and then do a install. But it doesn't "take" once I get Docked, So I need help. is there a specific Warf I should try(say Paranid?) Or a command the force the Hyperion to docs, and stay docked long enough to upgrade. Or is th base hyperion not upgradeable?

Meanwhile the hyperion, even my Base is potent, I took out a Xenon Destroyer with a little Help last night, so I'm working with what I got...But I gotta get Docked to really upgrade(because it also doesn't show any weapons upgrades available(when i do manage to get docked and get the 10 seconds in the upgrade screen...before it takes off). The only weapon it shows in the default Cannon(?) in all 7 slots.

You should be able to stand on the bridge, from the map right click on the Hyperion and check if "Remove all orders and assignments" is in white, if it is, click that to remove everything, that may include a Behaviour.

You can also check the "Loadout" in the Hyperion information, under Equipment section if you already have a docking computer then it will be under the Thrusters, that's where mine is listed, just in case you have one you had not noticed.

Otherwise with the Hyperion selected, right click on a shipyard (its an L ship), use the command "Upgrade / Repair at", then make the upgrade changes you need in the upgrade screen (try and add crew or change other things as well), confirm changes on the right (may need to scroll down) and pay for the changes.

You can either stay on the bridge and see if the upgrades work after the ship undocks or you can either teleport out of sector/fly a small ship out of sector and let the upgrade work, then check its "Loadout" tab once its undocked from the shipyard.

If that still does not work for you then you may have to put in a bug report and send in a copy of your save etc.

Note on weapon upgrades, if you have Modifcations on any weapon then that must be Dismantled FIRST before you can change a weapon, on the Hyperion only turrets should be changed. With the correct research you can add modifications to different parts of the ship, shields, engines, weapons etc.

TY Duke, Looks like I got options for tonight.

Your welcome, something I did neglect to add at the start, this assumes the Hyperion is in space close to a Shipyard for speed of it docking after you follow the above instructions.

You will have plenty of time in the Upgrade screen because the Hyperion will not move at all until you have paid for the upgrade task, then the captain should do all the work.

I've sent many collected or damaged ships to a shipyard/warf to get upgrades with no issues in this same way, so fingers crossed that will help you.

Mind it is unusual not to have a docking computer at all, but you can easily fit a Mk 2 and make life much easier to dock.
