## About The Pull Request
4 new hivebots
Lurker - kiting, low-health hivebot that tries to snipe you from a long
distance. low damage but will punish bad positioning. high armor pen -
damage is low but consistent. very, very weak if you literally just walk
up to them to give them the boots
Scorcher - at request, higher-damage base hivebot w/ alien tech. 5 more
damage and very light armor pen
supressor - hivebot with TWOOOO GUUUNS (faster fire rate) that fires a
weak proj that also does light agony damage. attempts to get into your
face. faster than normal hivebots
surveyor - slightly faster base hivebot w/ a cool sprite, mostly flavor

## Oh No More Robots
There is actually less paths for the hivebots. They are actually some of
the most primitive mobs on the codebase. So it was high time they were
given a facelift. As I said with my previous mob update robots are a
good alternative as mobs compared to humanoids, and with the hivebots we
can present a threat of hostile machine intelligence to round out the
existing threats of pirates, mercs, aliens beasts and the supernatural.
Once more these robots are also far mroe generalist then the existing
robot varieties and as most types of them are not very dangerous they
can be released on civilian crew without fear of them causing extreme
damage,
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->
