| align="justify" | 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.
