At this point I gave up trying to do hive hunt.

did you try the radar extender?

not the point MB hive hutn shoudlent ALWAYS be in a storm

You got unlucky. If anything there were too many storms. Before taking hive hunt I usually scout the sectors to see which ones don't have storms in them, and take the missions to kill the hive there.
