Topic: The Hive Collective
Ok, not anywhere near as grandiose as BrotherAdso's contributions, but I felt I should post at least one set of ships to show everyone that despite our ease with finding loopholes and optimizations, we dont actually PLAY that way.
Here you go:
Hive Collective:
The Hive Collective maintains a powerful Navy of balanced ships. At the center of most Hive Fleets is a Swarm Ship capable of fielding an immense array of Fighters. Hive ships are capable opponents with a generally longer ranged weapons suite than the Terrans.
Their ships lack the sophisticated electronics common to the Republic Navy, but their larger vessels are practically living members of the Swarm and can regenerate damage taken in battles. Hive Ships have a varied array of weapons that are accurate, hard hitting, and often continue to harm the target long after impact.
All ships are TL0 across the board. I've attached the Shipyard.xls for the known ships employed by the Hive.
