==Collectors==Collectors Collector drones are abundant and easy to find; they will 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 asteroids until their cargo hold is full, and after a while they will head warp back to their the [[hive queenHive Queen]]. If a threat is spotted a couple collectors will engage the threat. There are four known types variants of collectorsthe collector hive ship. Most of the differences are aesthetic, armor, and here they areweapon 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.
'''Note''': In these pictures they are {{DevDesk|devname=John "Incarnate" Bergman|subject=Collectors|source=Design Wiki|info=Collectors form the broad miningbase of the Hive. The most common of all Hive drones, they carry out most of the beams day-to-day workload necessary to keep the Hive operational. This includes, predominately, extracting ores and minerals from them are anywhere these resources can be found. Equipped primarily for their tasks of mining beamsand transporting small amounts of cargo, Collectors are lightly armed, depending on their heavier brethren for protection under threating conditions.}}

===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.

===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.

===How to Kill===
Once again, this model of bot can probably be evaded using a single strafe key. Shots you fire from '''within 400 meters''' will usually score hits. The Dentek is a pleasant bot to learn against. It will take a bit more effort to kill than Oruns or Kanniks, in part due to the increase in armor.

===How to Kill===
You may succeed in evading Artemis fire with one strafe key, but most people use two. Use some distance control to stay '''within 300 meters''' of this model. This is where the money is at in collector bots. The Artemis has the most armor, but also the best experience reward per kill.
