i think that the hive expands way to fast. sectors become overloaded with bots, and almost impossible to clear in a reasonable ammount of time. i think that there should be a limit to the number of hive bots that a queen can support, i arbitrarily pick 50, and the number of queens that a sector can support, i pick 1. the expansion would be fastest in the beginning before there is a queen, and gradually slow until there are 50 bots. this would make sectors load faster, offer higher framerates, and most importantly, allow them to be cleared in a reasonable ammount of time.

Yes.

The Hive is expanding too fast because it is still a test. When it's finally moved out to everywhere else it will go much slower.

Absolutely. It's only as fast as it is because it's only in Sedina where players easily contain it.
