'''Swarmers''' will attempt to stay around 3 to 3.5K studs away from whatever they are attacking and may move below [[Ships]] to maintain their turret's line of sight. When attacking a slow or stationary target, they are often seen moving back and forth in mostly straight lines. They have a tendency to go underneath Ships to make it hard for main [[Turrets]] to hit. | '''Swarmers''' will attempt to stay around 3 to 3.5K studs away from whatever they are attacking and may move below [[Ships]] to maintain their turret's line of sight.

'''Swarmers''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase. Hordes of '''Swarmers''' can easily destroy [[Starbase]]s, even if said Starbase is the maximum level. | '''Swarmers''' will always answer a call from an [[Punisher|Alien Punisher]] when it is attacking any player or Starbase. Hordes of '''Swarmers''' can easily destroy [[Starbase]]s, even if said Starbase is the maximum level. Even if the Punisher or ship they were called to was destroyed, the leftover fleet stays, unless they are called to another Alien ship. Additionally, it appears that spawning Swarmers, along with [[Bruiser|Bruisers]] and [[Outrider|Outriders]], will still go to a calling Punisher's location for a few minutes even after it is destroyed. | ||
Swarmers are more likely to attack [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] and [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]], so stay alert and look at the [[Minimap]] every few minutes when [[Mining]] or [[Trading]] | Swarmers are more likely to attack [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] and [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]], so stay alert and look at the [[Minimap]] every few minutes when [[Mining]] or [[Trading]] | ||
