===How to Kill===
The tactics used to kill hive queens are as varied as the ship choices in Vendetta Online. I will first explain how to find a queen, and then outline two of my favorite kill methods.
To find a queen, visit a sector with collector bots. Watch them mine, do not interfere. One will likely follow you, but they're easy to outrun. Eventually the miners will leave the asteroids to jump out of the sector. Be within 1000m when they jump to see where they went. In their destination sector is a hive queen.
The first method requires a group of three players. Equip yourselves with energy weapons, at least as good as Neutrons. Engage and destroy the entire escort. When the queen is alone, combine your firepower on the queen's shield. If your timing is good, you'll have easy sailing.
The second method only requires access to the Ragnarok, fast charge power cell, chaos swarm missiles, and gemini missiles. Load up your rag with this equipment. Fly toward the queen at a slight angle to protect yourself from the escort if you choose not to destroy them beforehand (in any ship of your choice). Keep circling and using your turbo toward the queen until you get a shot where it is flying toward you. Then, at any time within 1200 meters, unload all your ammo into the face of the hive queen. This will break the shield. Now you'll need to either reload, or come back with a different ship to finish it off; but do not take too long, if the queen is not damaged for five minutes the shield will return.
Note: Hive Queens in Gray Space give 2300XP.
