Combining components does't work the way you think it will.

But nice idea.

Its a great idea the only forseeable problem is in most sci-fi I have watched usually Swarm-like races generally didnt have a home planet. More or less they have that one-or many- hive ships with no real planet. So in game problem that is sort of there is the need to have the hive ships self sustaining.

give them 2 home planets, except they are cloaked, you can't find them until you obtain a very high level of de-cloaking devices..... : Like the idea, but I like the idea of them having more then l hive ship, makes it more interesting, besides thats what testing is for

my 2 cents

a few huge hive ships that would fairy the frighters/attack ships to differant systems.

I think maybe you meant "ferry" instead of "fairy".

Trying to picture a huge, slavering, exoskeletal gigeresque insectoid hive-alien with ballerina pumps, tutu, pink little wings and a wand.

Sorry AT, I know your spelling isn't your strongest point but that one really made me laugh.
