Gameplay Summary

Hivers are the slowest race to start with in Sword of the Stars, but to make up for it they pack a very powerful punch, with even their engines loaded to the brim with weapons, and all of their ships well-armoured. They lend themselves well to planetary invasion or siege, as it requires only two turns of combat to deploy a gateship before you can instantly reinforce your attack forces.

If you can manage the difficult start, you'll find the hivers to be a very powerful race in the endgame.

Research wise, the Hivers have very high chances of getting most of the ballistic weapons in their random tech tree. This makes ballistics a very good weapon choice to follow as Hiver.
