/* Hunting A Queen */
== Hunting A Queen ==
The first step to hunting a Queen is to find it. Wait in a sector full of collector bots for them to fill up (this will take a while - don't attack any of them and dodge the ones attacking you) and then tail a bot as it attempts to warp away. Select it as a target and if you are close (500 1000 m or less) you should be able to see where it warps too. (In this regard, the Vulture and Centurion are very good for this role). Then once you have located the Queen, attack it! Be aware that in some sectors there may be two Queens in the same place at the same time.
The Queen is usually surrounded by a dozen or so escorts but are pretty defensless themselves. They are slow lumbering targets making them easy prey for missiles. Your goal once you warp into the sector is immediately plot a way out on your nav map and are ready to jump (fast charge batteries help). The Queens are mainly in empty space making it easy to jump away if you are heavily damaged. Quickly approach the Queen and dodge the escorts, either by barrelling through them and igonoring them or luring them away from the Queen then turn around and then make a run for the Queen. Be aware that it is rather easy to crash into a Queen! Avoid this as it causes heavy damage to yourself. Be prepared for a heavy concussion to your ship after the Queen explodes.
