I just saw three ferian warriors guarding a destroyed hive, all staying close, two of them flying back and forth in little lines, one stationary. I killed one before taking the screenshot.

None of them fought back at all, and I got lucky and scored two ferian plasma cannons.

Maybe its releated to this bug? probably not, but considering they are both ferrian warrior AI malfunctions... http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/trac/ticket/269

Well, they weren't shooting at anything, just flying back and forth in a ~8 ls line directly over the hive.

Maybe it has something to do with the "chase" combatStyle, which only the ferian warrior has, or maybe they weren't "released" from duty after the hive/whatever killed it died.

had the same bug. it makes for really easy pickings of the hive because they just sit there on it.

Probably a combination of factors...
