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 a few methods to kill her. 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 my favorite the sector. Be within 1000m when they jump to see where they went. In their destination sector is a hive queen. If the sector you warp into to watch the collector bots has a transport in it, kill it when you arrive, because otherwise the collectors will go to the transport rather than the queen. If the collector sector has guardian or assault bots, you can still follow them to find the queen, but you'll have to 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 methodsfor killing the shield.

To find The first method requires a queen, visit a sector group of at least three players. Equip yourselves with collector bots. Watch them mineenergy weapons, do not interfereat least as good as Neutrons. One will likely follow you, but they're easy to outrunEngage and destroy the entire escort. Eventually When the miners will leave the asteroids queen is alone, fire simultaneously to jump out of put maximum damage on her shield at the sectorone time. Be within 1000m when they jump to see where they went. In their destination sector If your timing is a hive queengood, you'll have easy sailing. If Voice chat amongst the sector has a transport, kill it when you arrive, because otherwise the collectors will go to the transport rather than the queengroup can help.

The first second method only requires a group of at least three players. Equip yourselves with energy weaponsaccess to the Ragnarok, chaos swarm missiles, at least as good as Neutrons. Engage and destroy gemini missiles (these two missile types are chosen because they have the entire escortsame speed). When Load up your rag with this equipment. At about 1200 meters out, turn towards the queen is aloneand turbo up to 80m/s. Start launching your missiles, combine and follow where they go, staying close behind them. Continue to fire your firepower on missiles until you're either about to crash into the queen, or you's shieldre out of missiles. If your timing What you're trying to do is good"stack" the missiles so that they're all flying in one small group. When they hit the queen all at once, they'll do a massive amount of damage, taking down the shield and probably knocking about 20% off her armour as well. Now you'll have easy sailingneed 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 second final method only requires access to the Ragnarok, fast charge power cellthe Mega Positron Blaster, chaos swarm missilesthe Plasma Cannon HX, and gemini missilesa large power cell. Load up your rag with this equipment. Fly toward Since the queen at a slight angle megaposi is only available 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 those who've already killed 10 queens, it is flying toward youan "advanced" method, even though it's a lot less challenging than missile stacking. Then In this method, at any time within 1200 metersyou kill off the escort first, unload then just blast the queen with all your ammo while turboing into weapons at once -- there's enough damage in a full burst to take down the face shields of the a "sector" hive queen. You do not The trick is that you need to ram itshoot her from the side or head on -- shooting her from behind spreads out the damage too much, of course. This will break so the shieldshields will drop to about 10% but won't fall. Now you It's '''got'''ll need to either reload, be a side 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 returnhead-on shot.
