Playing a Drone

As a Drone your job is to assist the Queen in growing and reinforcing the hive. To this end, the Drone has the ability to shape structures out of Resin, which the Drone creates by spending plasma. The Drone has a moderate plasma regeneration rate, deals little damage, and has little chance to disarm. Their movement speed is the normal for Aliens, which is slightly slower than that of a Marine.

Your sole job is to help grow the hive and support the Queen. You should be aiming to continue to expand the hive and ensure it's as reinforced as possible, as well as spreading weeds across the hive and planet.

In addition you should help secure captured hosts for implantation and to ensure they cannot escape the hive nor take their life.


The Hive Begins

When the round starts Drones should be among the first aliens to exist. One Drone should become a Queen while the rest search out and secure any local lifeforms for impregnation. The Drones should then begin to help mold and create the new hive, spreading out Weed nodes around the local area.


Drone Evolution

After consuming some Royal Jelly (created by the Queen) and allowing it to become absorbed by their body, Drones can evolve into one of two possible castes.

The Carrier is a more combat-oriented caste, and gains the ability to store 6 facehuggers for throwing. The Carrier can throw further and more accurately using the throw-facehugger verb (or by Middle-Clicking, if it is enabled in the Alien tab). These facehuggers are thrown directly from the Carrier's storage.

The Hivelord is a more effective Hive builder than the standard Drone. They grow in size, and lose speed; but in return gain much faster Plasma regeneration, and the ability to dig tunnels from one location to another.


Unique Abilities

Drones can create Resin structures through the spending of Plasma. For a list of structures that Drones can create, check out the Hives page.
