Drop rates

I may be mistaken but different queen types seem to have different drop rates. Stronghold Queens only drop scrap metal and hive goodies while critical Queens and natural queens drop ores. The drop rates of desirable queen goodies from the natural Queens don't justify hunting them. Critical queens drop more but are better used to farm it's minions. Stronghold drop the most. I recently spent some time farming the hive and killed around 500 queens and this is my observations from that experience.

zjen are you saying levi queens are better good queen drop wise?

I think it's just because it's faster to farm the levi Queens as there's four in a sector.

I agree with Inevitable. Zjen is experiencing a higher drop rate with stronghold queens because he kills more of them. I get plenty of drops with critical and static queens as well.

+ The ore is not part of the *rare* drop table. The ore is in the queens cargo hold as you can tell by using a cargo scanner. This means it doesn't have an affect on the drop table if that is what you were alluding ot zjen.
