One level of EE can't hurt and really helps.And it's much more helpful then TaN.
In your build i would insert EE after you start using rapid-fire weapons, meaning probably right after WK.
Also you may want to consider taking WK2 before assembling hyperblaster to mod it further with P/T/F.

IronBeer:
Can a nuclear plasma rifle be made into a Hyperblaster? That would probably be one of the best mod setups for the nuke p-rifle if it can be done.

Reef Blastbody:
Kind of like how the combat shotgun is still a shotgun, but can't be made into an elephant gun, the hyperblaster has to be made out of a regular plasma rifle. Nuclear plasma rifle is an entirely separate weapon.

Nuclear hyperblaster would be kind of crazy awesome, but probably too good for an Advanced Assembly. Possibly too good to even exist, since it would beat out a nanomac'd plasma rifle, and that's a Master Assembly.

That's debatable. And I'd submit that a vanilla Plasma Rifle with unending ammo beats out any Hyperblaster.

In the context of limited ammo, the Hyperblaster is better since it puts out about as much firepower as a regular plasma rifle, but with the ability to "modulate" the ownage. A Hyperblaster can be used efficiently against weak enemies due to the lower burstcount, and enables more tactical options with the reduced firetime.

When it comes to a situation that demands balls-out ridiculous maximum firepower, the Nanomanufacture Plasma Rifle wins easily. Even a Nuclear Hyperblaster would need to stop and recharge eventually.

That said, I'd still like a definitive answer if anybody knows if a Nuclear Hyperblaster can be built. I'm away from my main machine and DoomRL so I can't test this myself. I honestly have no intuitive guess for this one; I'd think that it could be done, since the Biggest F'in Nuclear Gun is a thing, and yet...

AlterAsc:
No there's no such thing as nuclear hyperblaster.Definitely.You can only do assault one, but that's a waste of a good gun.

Btw hyperblaster puts out more than regular plasma as (2d4)x3 is done in 0.5s.
More over, with TH2 hyperblaster deals 10 shots in 1.0s, while vanilla plasma only 8.
Even better - T-hyperblaster has firetime of 0.4s so it's 2.5 times faster and iirc it's da best rapid-fire weapon (aside from bfg10k).
