The Drone

Drone Drone	The Drone's most important duties are weeding the colonies for higher tiers to have access to swifter movement and regeneration, planting eggs that the Queen lays, and creating the structure of the resin hive until a Hivelord is available. As with all other Tier 1 Xenomorphs, your primary focus should be on expanding the hive and staying alive.

Drone General Information

The Drone is one of the most vital components of any hive. The drone may not have great combat abilities, however the Drone finds its vocation in assembling and keeping up with the structure of the Hive and its weeds. Relatively fast, the Drone can also build on the move. It is equipped with weak corrosive acid that can melt through any non-reinforced structure. Its attacks are fairly weak, and it is not intended for combat unless cornered, or protecting the queen. It has a medium to low health pool, which gives it some ability to stay alive under fire.

The drone is responsible for setting up forward hives(When able), creating a nesting area to store hosts, and ensuring that higher castes have reasonable access to weeded areas. They are primarily responsible at the start of any hive to begin terraforming of any given colony Via weed planting and defense building, as such, the Drone has a much larger plasma reserve than other tier 1 xenomorphs, and a decent rate of plasma regeneration.

Proper usage of Pheromones is important for any drone on the front lines. They are a hearty compliment to an ambush group, giving them the ability to move faster, strike harder, withstand more damage, or recover from wounds faster, and the ability to quickly create nesting areas on the fly, as they weed the surface of the colony.

Playing as a Drone

The primary objective of the Drone as with most other Tier 1 caste Xenos is first, to stay alive. Their next most important duty is expanding the hive, whether by weeding new areas or building new defenses. When building, keep in mind that xenomorphs have a strong advantage against marines in tight winding corridors, and offset patterns. When weeding, keep in mind that you cannot plant weeds on rock, grass, or catwalks. Don't hesitate to set up forward hives and nesting areas close to combat, and bring eggs from the queen's hatchery to assist in quick infection of marines. Remember, you cannot take a lot of damage, so guerilla hit and run tactics are your best bet if forced into combat.

Drone Abilities

Ability:	Function:
Rest	Used to rest and get up. Xenos heal faster when resting on weeds.
Regurgitate	Regurgitate does exactly what it sounds like. Expels the contents of your stomach onto the current tile. To consume someone, grab them then click on your sprite, and stand still.
Файл:Plant weeds.png Plant Weeds	Can only be placed on a tile that does not already have a resin sac, and cannot be placed on rock, grass, or catwalks. Costs 75 plasma.
Choose Resin Structure	Click to choose which resin structure you wish to build with Secrete Resin. It will always default to Resin Wall upon evolution.
Файл:Secrete resin.png Secrete Resin	Builds whatever resin structure you have chosen in Choose Resin Structure on your hotbar, on your current tile. Costs 75 plasma.
Transfer Plasma	Lets you transfer plasma to any target within a 2 tile range. You must not move while transferring, and if the target moves further than 2 tiles away from you, the channeling is cancelled.
Corrosive Acid	Lets you expel weak acid from your body on to any structure/object you are able to. Drone acid is very weak, and a Spitter, Drone, or Queen's acid should be used instead if available. Costs 75 plasma.
Emit Pheromones	Emit one of the three Pheromones. It is advised to emit the pheromone that are not already being emitted, as pheromones don't stack except for Frenzy pheromone. Your pheromones will grow stronger as you mature. Costs 30 plasma to engage.
