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 a few methodsto kill her.

The first method requires If the sector you warp into to watch the collector bots has a group of at least three players. Equip yourselves with energy weaponstransport in it, at least as good as Neutrons. Engage and destroy kill it when you arrive, because otherwise the entire escort. When collectors will go to the queen is alone, combine your firepower on transport rather than the queen's shield. If your timing is goodthe collector sector has guardian or assault bots, you can still follow them to find the queen, but you'll have easy sailingto keep moving while you wait for the collectors to finish their work, otherwise you'll end up as some Tycorp's target practice.

Killing a queen requires a bit of coordination and planning. There are two parts to a queen's armour -- a power shield, and the regular armour. The power shield regenerates, so you need to put on a lot of damage on her in a short amount of time to "crack" the shield. Once the shield is down, it will stay down as long as you keep damaging the queen, but if you get the shield down to 10%, it'll come back up in a few seconds. All the methods for "killing a queen" are really methods for killing the shield. The first method requires a group of at least three players. Equip yourselves with energy weapons, at least as good as Neutrons. Engage and destroy the entire escort. When the queen is alone, fire simultaneously to put maximum damage on her shield at the one time. If your timing is good, you'll have easy sailing. Voice chat amongst the group can help. The second method only requires access to the Ragnarok, fast charge power cell, chaos swarm missiles, and gemini missiles(these two missile types are chosen because they have the same speed). Load up your rag with this equipment. Fly toward At about 1200 meters out, turn towards the queen at a slight angle and turbo up to protect yourself from the escort if you choose not to destroy them beforehand (in any ship of 80m/s. Start launching your choice). Keep circling missiles, and using follow where they go, staying close behind them. Continue to fire your turbo toward missiles until you're either about to crash into the queen until , or you get a shot where it 're out of missiles. What you're trying to do is "stack" the missiles so that they're all flying toward youin one small group. Then, at any time within 1200 meters, unload all your ammo while turboing into When they hit the face of the hive queen. You do not need to ram itall at once, they'll do a massive amount of course. This will break damage, taking down the shieldand probably knocking about 20% off her armour as well. 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. The final method requires the Ragnarok, the Mega Positron Blaster, the Plasma Cannon HX, and a large power cell. Since the megaposi is only available to those who've already killed 10 queens, it is an "advanced" method, even though it's a lot less challenging than missile stacking. In this method, you kill off the escort first, then just blast the queen with all your weapons at once -- there's enough damage in a full burst to take down the shields of a "sector" hive queen. The trick is that you need to shoot her from the side or head on -- shooting her from behind spreads out the damage too much, so the shields will drop to about 10% but won't fall. It's '''got''' to be a side or head-on shot.
