Collector drones are the main source of the hive's resources, many sectors in a system are filled with 10-20 collectors. These collectors warp into the system, mine, and warp back to the Hive Queen. If a threat is spotted a couple collectors will engage the threat. There are four variants of the collector hive ship. Most of the differences are aesthetic, armor, and weapon strength. The order of strength of the collectors from weakest to strongest is: Orun, Kannik, Dentek, Artemis. The basic combat mission requires that you kill collector type bots, eventually the mission will require you to kill only Dentek or Artemis collectors. Since each bot has a different difficulty, you will be rewarded different amounts of experience.

How to Kill
An Orun collector bot can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. Shots you fire from within 500 meters will usually score hits, unless you are flying with auto-aim off or before your HUD indicator turns yellow. Just like the basic flight test. These are your target if you need a forgiving enemy to learn against.
Kannik Collector
| Weapon XP | Combat XP | Hull Strength | Mass | Weapon Ports | Max Speed | Turbo Speed | License | ALA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 125 | 3000 | 20000kg | 2 small | 40 m/s | 50 m/s | 2/1/0/0/0 | 4 |

How to Kill
Similar to the Orun, a Kannik can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. This bot's weapons are very slightly more powerful. Shots you fire from within 500 meters will usually score hits (see above). I have seen a Kannik collector fire at me and miss while I was sitting still.
Dentek Collector

How to Kill
Generally a collector bot can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. Shots you fire from within 500 meters will usually score hits, unless you are flying with auto-aim off or before your HUD indicator turns yellow.
The Dentek is a pleasant bot to learn against.
Artemis Collector

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 150 | 10000 | 12000kg | 3 small | _ m/s | _ m/s | 3/1/6/0/0 | 5 |

How to Kill
Generally a collector bot can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. Shots you fire from within 500 meters will usually score hits, unless you are flying with auto-aim off or before your HUD indicator turns yellow.
This is where the money is at in collector bots. The Artemis has the most armor, but also the best experience reward per kill.
