Hive Queens

If a hive Queen does not drop a qdm or a hp or a qgat it should drop a random ammount of sss
between 5 and 20

they are made of the stuff

I think they should ALWAYS drop at least 1cu. If memory serves, they used to make the hive bots, so it would stand to reason that some of the construction supplies on board would be left in some salvageable form.

+1 sounds reasonable

Why is this needed?

We don't use storyline context to justify gameplay changes. There has to be some actual game-balance reasoning.

It's needed because it takes time and effort to kill a Queen and her escort and all you get for your trouble is a handfull of xith and scrap

I disagree static queens are quite easy to kill and can be done in about 30 minutes or so. 1. Stalking for a static queen.
2 Fighting the escorts 3 bombing the queen with energy or use furies.

Even then the escort is not that hefty and if your in a fighter can be done in 1-2 trips or like 5 trips in a bomber rag.

This isn't needed and queen positrons gats cores even a QDM aren't that impossible to get

AAPB is also just as good as a queen posi and the gat mk2 can do just as well as a Queen gat.

I really like new static queens they are a lot more engaging and fun to fight.

Oh not to mention how EASY critical skirmish queens are to kill.

Lets leave the static queens how they are. There's really no "game-balance reasoning" to this.

And also the double queen spawn has arklans... Just take the SSS from those? If your really concerned about that.

They drop ore and stuff. All that ore adds up after a while. That should be enough.

I think the drop rate is about right for the ease with which a queen can be killed.

But seriously, your supposed to shoot the escort first? I been doing it wrong :)
