Burning Down the Hive: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

When you first warp to the mission location, there will be a few rogue drones and an acceleration gate. Destroy the drones; this first group has none of the scrambling drones. Once you are done, activate the acceleration gate.

Once your warp is done, sit and watch the rats move for a short time. You will see that there are two groups, which merge and then separate. You will want to engage the two groups separately, unless you feel lucky. Once you see two distinct groups, lock one ''Strain Infester Alvi'' drone and fire at it; you will likely miss since you are out of range, but the rats should still start chasing you.

Once you see two distinct groups, lock one ''Strain Infester Alvi'' drone and fire at it; you will likely miss since you are out of range, but the first group (and only the first group) of rats should still start chasing you.

Once the drones are chasing you, turn your camera 180 degrees in the opposite direction from them (so that they are 'behind' you) and double-click in space to move away from them (kiting). Keep an eye on your overview, and start shooting drones when they enter your range. If they're not catching up, stop your ship; if they're gaining too fast, activate your afterburner. Since you fit weapons with longer range than the drones have, they should not damage you significantly. Continue until all drones in the first group are destroyed, then repeat the process for the second group.

Keep an eye on your overview, and start shooting drones when they enter your range. If they're not catching up, stop your ship; if they're gaining too fast, activate your afterburner. Make sure that none of the ''Strain Infester Alvi'' drones get closer than 10km to you. Since you fit weapons with longer range than the drones have, they should not damage you significantly. Continue until all drones in the first group are destroyed, then repeat the process for the second group.

Fly back to the next acceleration gate and finish the mission; the drones in the last room pose no significant challenge.
