that is all.

do it.

yes.

No, the Devs should put the hive posis back to where they were after the auto-targeting nerf. Stop fucking with not grossly imbalanced things that people spent days and days of time harvesting from queens :P

the hive posi really isn't that great compared to a LENB... might as well make them slightly easier to obtain than they are now.
May 14, 2010 Dr. Lecter link
Did they even announce/explain the recent hive posi nerf? They're just AAPs by a different name now, but (aside from the first 1500Kg AGT-like hive posis) they were well-balanced before.

not that I'm aware of. and to be fair they are slightly better than AAPs, but not by enough to farm them.

yea currently their really only a novelty.

Aye, it might add some incentive to manually chart and explore the currently uncharted grey sectors where these things lurk.

rare dropped equip should be super.

It isn't unbalanced if you can only get them from every x kills despite whatever stats are on it so pump it up.

The hive posi, law, and wm are all good, each in it's own way. The hive posi is better than the aap.

As I have stated in another thread, I like that some items are valued, and difficult to get. The hive posi is one of those things. The only justification it needs for it's existence is for it to be better than any other weapon in some way by even a marginal amount. It is.

I have farmed hive posi. I maintain a stock. I have seen pilots that almost exclusively fly tri hive posi valks. The weapon is in circulation.

They recently changed the stats in a major way, roda.

Leave the drops as they are, give the hive posi a slight buff to make them more worth it.

I just went in game and reviewed the hive posi as compared to the aap. I do not know what, if anything, is changed, but the hive posi is still better than the aap.

Hardly. The hive posi weighs 100kgs less and uses 1 less energy. It isn't worth farming.

I dont see a problem with Overseers having them. But only the Overseers you see in the Levi missions perhaps?

I think I'd rather see the drops like this:
'Standard' nerfed hive posis from overseers
AGT-like hive posis from queens

If it isn't worth farming, then don't farm it. Use aap. I am fine with that. If it was not worth anything at all, we would not have this thread crying about it's availability (or perceived lack thereof). Arguments to make the hive posi more accessible are proof of it's perceived value.

No you would not. You would much rather see the station defense turrets start dropping missile launchers again than have the original AGT-like hive posis back. Those things pwned hard.

No. Not gonna happen.
