I'm curious as to what the big deal is here.
There are a lot of nay-says, but very little reasoning that is actually pertinent to the actual suggestion. If they're not 'valuable enough' to farm, then I see no harm in this suggestion. In fact, if they were still uber-powerful, rather than just a moderate curiosity, then this would be the opposite of a good idea.
As it stands, there has been no valid argument as to why this is a bad idea. There has been plenty of talk about buffing and nerfing, but none of that really factors in to the OP's suggestion.

Some players (like myself) do farm hive posi. That means that they are valuable enough to some players to farm. Some players do not build widow makers. Some players do not farm laws. Some players do. Perfect.

Wow... where do you get those, pey? ; )
That only serves to reinforce my point, pey.
Deride the weapon all you want; there clearly is some demand. The fact that you don't consider them to be worth farming yourself suggests that they're not terribly unbalanced, and, therefore, this suggestion affects you little. I certainly can't comprehend what would possess you to oppose it so vehemently.
So far, the closest you lot have come to an actual reason not to is asking 'why?'. I'm asking 'why not?', and I'm still waiting for an answer.

im not in opposition to the idea, although i would prefer the pre-nerf version of the hive posi to be brought back and put on the queens since they have like a 1/20 (1/10?) drop rate.
nahin; from a very horrible place that would probably explode your brain

make overseers drop the crappy version, make queens drop the crazy version. nuff said
I agree with Willis, make overseers and other hive ships that use positron blasters drop hive posis, and the queen uses a much more powerful version.
"make overseers drop the crappy version, make queens drop the crazy version. nuff said"
Agreed.
Agreed.
-1 to OP and all the threads "make rare item XY buyable"
+1 to Willis
And since the ones which are already in game are from queens, un-nerf them back.

I didn't say they should be buyable.
I think Willis got it right here. Queen drops should be a bit more than a mildly warmed-over version of a standard item. There should, however be more semi-common high-level bot drops, and the current version of the hive posi should be one of them.

"I didn't say they should be buyable."
Well, I got that wrong feeling after reading another thread according Superlight. Sorry about it.
Anyway, the main idea remains. Never ever devalue a rare item. I mean do not give the same hive posis queens have to lover bots, do not lower the UC requirements to 20 mentoring points, do not sell Superlights at stations, do not make prospecting easier ...
People were working hard to get/collect/farm these and it is not fair to give the same to others for less just because someone lazy asked here.

Definitely +1 to this version.
