Inc sez: "I changed the hive posis anyway"

Could we get a breakdown of what the changes actually are/ current stats, so we can make an accurate wiki for these critters?

They are aaps with -100 mass and +1 energy now. :/

Inc you suck!

400kg 210m/s sounds like the best S-port energy weapon in the game.

I dunno, if they have the same auto-aim as aap's I think thats kind of cool. They're a better gun (but not insane), and rare.

Sounds good to me.

+1 energy AAPs? It's not worth the 100kg mass tradeoff... better to just use AAPs now (or Neuts - the AAPs suck anyway)

So basically, I went through all that trouble to get 4 HPs, and now they suck worse than regular AAPs, which I can just buy??

at LEAST up the damage by 200 or so... sheesh.
And making them heavier than AAPs would make more sense too, since they ARE carried by queens, and I seriously doubt they really care about the 100kg less of their posis... they flew the old Hive Posis anyway, after all.

The extra energy is negligible. The power of the aaps is firststrike, so make your first shot count. If your fight style is spamming, might as well fly the lawguns, which have much better refire rate.

Yay. Now we have yet another "variant" that isn't. W00t, let's hear it for maintaining balance by keeping everything more or less the same!

Oh, and Inc, thanks so much from those of us who spent serious amounts of time to collect the damn things from queens. Rather than, say, letting those few that were garnered through hours of queen hunting just stay in game to die off naturally... you simply nerfed all HP's, past, present, future. We heart you.

Heh Lect,

I think "variant" means a "variation" of the original. The Hive posis (that you have spent hours and hours collecting, my sympathies) might as well be called "AG-Posis", and be a variant of the AGT instead!

How's the sleep coming along?

Uhh, lecter, I don't have an option of "just" changing new drops. If I make a change to a given addon, it's ubiquitous throughout the universe, period. I'm not out to screw anyone over for their hard work, I'm just correcting something I failed to adjust previously.

The Hive posis should be better than any purchasable posi, in mass, energy usage and speed. I'll double check my numbers tomorrow and post them. I'm trying to make things beneficial without making them so uber that they cause problems. I don't think that's an unreasonable goal.

We've only had addon drops for a whopping two weeks here, let's not get too attached or worked up about particular item stats. I intend to add a lot more stuff to drops, to vary things and make for more interesting rewards and opportunities. We're just scratching the surface here.

oh well, at least I had some fun and made some more queen kills in collecting those worthless things... too bad I never actually got a chance to USE them before they got nerfed =P

anyone want 5 mint-condition, practically unused Hive Posis?

Entrepreneurialship is sooo tough in VO.

You think it's bad, Cunjo and Doctor? Try mapping.

Do you even fathom the work involved if this bypass goes through??!!

Now, both of you...go find something constructive to do.
