Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Optec on January 04, 2007, 04:38:46 PM Hi there and a happy new year.
As you might already have guessed from the headline our todays news post is about the current development of our most famous Borg Collective. The Borg in v3 will feature a ton of brand new and unique game play and graphical features. While the game play features are still in development and balancing we captured a few screen shots to give you a feeling how the new Borg will look like. (http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8789/borg2jy1.th.jpg) (http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=borg2jy1.jpg) Thats the basic Borg Cube as you know it from Voyager. Both model detail and textures have been greatly improved over Armada II or Fleet Operations Beta 2. (http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9710/borg3lw3.th.jpg) (http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=borg3lw3.jpg) A Borg Sphere. There will be more than one version of the Sphere. Some of them do also include the deflector dish you may have seen in a few Voyager episodes. (http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6258/borg1jj6.th.jpg) (http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=borg1jj6.jpg) Borg incoming. Stay tuned ;) Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: ewm90 on January 04, 2007, 06:49:42 PM Sweet jesus. I am drowling all over my new cheenos!

Iam really looking forward to this. The Borg hull looks hundred times better than the first version you had. And if the Dom.Dreadnaught will look that good too, I can die as a happy man. XD Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Adam_C on January 04, 2007, 08:31:11 PM omgomogmogmg

Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Pastamama on January 05, 2007, 10:56:31 AM Ok Now I'm getting really scared when I'm about to play that game...
3D Mod on a Galaxy... and then... THAT AWSOME Cube appears at the Horizon :sweatdrop: That's wonderful, thats art as I like it :lol: Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: antagonist on January 05, 2007, 11:09:00 AM I really wonder what the borg will get out of assimilating construction ships...
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: warp on January 05, 2007, 08:02:04 PM sweet
cool.... Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Sugar Spice on January 06, 2007, 10:43:45 AM :omg: Certainly new order to that chaos which is the Borg. :omg:
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Fullphaser on January 08, 2007, 04:21:19 AM I assume this means that Optec's motherboard is back in commision? in which case, congrats on that one, I know they are often a pain to pay for.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DOCa Cola on January 08, 2007, 09:46:04 AM yep, optec got finally got a replacement board :)

Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: T-Man on January 08, 2007, 06:25:38 PM :omg:
BORG!!! *takes chill pill* Wow, simply wow. The models are stunning :wub:, almost like they were straight out of the series! Can't wait to see the race in action. I remember you saying there's been alot of changes to them. Do they play any differently to the beta 2 Borg? Only one thing can be said now... "Alpha Quadrant...prepare to be assimilated" :borg::borg::pimp::borg::borg: Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DOCa Cola on January 08, 2007, 06:40:28 PM Quote Do they play any differently to the beta 2 Borg? alot :D :assimilate: Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DaSeitz on January 09, 2007, 03:44:11 PM Not ALOT of information but enough to make us want the game even more (if "more" is possible in this case)
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: RedShirt on January 12, 2007, 02:19:43 AM Have I taken time yet to tell you how plainly AWESOME those new textures are? :omg:

Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 17, 2007, 02:08:32 AM the new one- the coupe( the hatchbacks a POS (and slow too))
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Frodo on January 17, 2007, 02:11:31 AM just googled it and it looks sweet! haven't seen many about yet, what engine does yours have?
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 17, 2007, 02:12:42 AM 2.0L iVTEC with 197 horsepower stock (mine has about 260 with mods
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Frodo on January 17, 2007, 02:16:58 AM ooh nice mate, i want to see some pictures of that! i think mine has about 140bhp without performance parts which i'm putting on soon :)

I was starting to get lonely. Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: actros on January 19, 2007, 01:34:00 PM *and back on topic,
Really looks nice, borg = my favorite species so waited pretty long to see some pics , i hope i dont have to wait to long to play with them though.... :mellow: waiting fore ages to play the final version now, nice to actually see some progress on it :) like to see some more pics B) Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 19, 2007, 11:23:33 PM borg are my second fav, after roms :)
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: phazed on January 23, 2007, 08:03:13 PM The borg are gonna rock some Dominion *** :)
btw... who the hell let all the honda ppl in here? (http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/phazed/arriba.jpg) Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Frodo on January 23, 2007, 10:22:20 PM that would be me but we're gonna make way for the borg :)
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: RedShirt on January 23, 2007, 11:03:25 PM Yup, I bet the borg could learn a thing or two about engine efficiency from Honda.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 24, 2007, 02:30:01 AM i bet those cubes get terrible gas milage
look at the areodynamic coeficient and at todays gas prices whew Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Frodo on January 24, 2007, 02:31:43 AM they are dreadful for fuel however when converted to cooking oil they are the best value for money
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 24, 2007, 02:37:30 AM perhaps the borg can recycle drones for gas(like beer in planes)
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Frodo on January 24, 2007, 02:38:58 AM no the armada 2 game engine prevents that unfortunately
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 24, 2007, 02:43:25 AM ah thats a shame
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: RedShirt on January 26, 2007, 07:33:32 PM Maddoc ruins everything.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Smoerebroed on January 26, 2007, 11:43:01 PM the borg should assimilate my car; then they would own everything
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on January 27, 2007, 12:33:24 AM your car would be so slow-but at least get good gas milage(like 900 miles per gallon)
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: redwhine on January 28, 2007, 04:49:42 PM Oooooooo... Brilliant.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: TanEdos on February 13, 2007, 06:17:41 PM with the borg making a comeback it should be an interesting twist. although the gameplay for them will be really interesting, i wonder if they'll have avatars, if they did would you have hugh and the queen to choose from? it'd be really cool to see them finally in game.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Optec on February 14, 2007, 01:06:45 PM yep they will have avatars but most probably their avatars will represent different "directives" for the collective. like a focus on assimilation or adaption.
Title: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Mortographer on February 15, 2007, 05:12:06 AM So how have they changed in terms of power? Are they still sort of balanced ship-to-ship wise or are the cubes now stronger than other species ships (but more expensive and longer to build of course)?
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DaSeitz on April 05, 2007, 11:16:44 AM Any idea when we will see screenshots of the new borg ships?
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DOCa Cola on April 05, 2007, 11:25:23 AM soon :)
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: DaSeitz on April 05, 2007, 11:41:24 AM Very good.
I can imagine it "News from Unimatrix 001". (The sequel to the highly successful News from Qo'nos) Waiting with all the patience of a :borg: Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Admiral Adama on April 06, 2007, 12:50:54 AM i think that super huge Ubercubes would be cool
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: RedShirt on April 07, 2007, 08:33:36 PM You're joking, right?
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Kaidus on June 15, 2007, 12:50:33 AM In the last picture, what is the green orb thing in the background?
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: The Old Man on June 15, 2007, 07:33:34 AM In the last picture, what is the green orb thing in the background? I assume it's a planet. But I can't tell why it looks so bright. If there was a sun behind it, I think it would still have to look different. The "orb" as you called it, might even be a darker sun itself. But maybe it's a totally polluted Borg planet. :sweatdrop: Whatever - I like the look!

Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Optec on June 16, 2007, 10:57:07 AM its a planet covered with water (and underwater vegetation, therefore the green look). would be easier to identify if the only few landmasses weren't on the other side =^^=
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: The Old Man on June 16, 2007, 01:53:48 PM Cool! :thumbsup:
So, this model seems to be a new one. (Or I never noticed it.) Can we expect more new planetary models in v3? To stay on-topic ( :D ) eg special textures for Borg planets? Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Pappy63 on July 10, 2007, 10:46:13 PM Hey a thought for avitars for the borg.From Voyager the "ANTI COLLECTIVE " the collective wont assimulate unless you have something they need . and from TNG the Break away group led by Lore that group will just plunder and take everything. just a thought
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: RedShirt on July 16, 2007, 04:06:38 AM Well, maybe rouge Borg map units would be cool. However, Lore as a unit doesn't make sense considering that he's dead.
Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: GAMER4EVER on August 02, 2007, 06:43:19 AM I really wonder what the borg will get out of assimilating construction ships... The entire tech tree of another race? :whistling::borg: Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Dr. Lazarus on August 02, 2007, 04:00:21 PM If the Borg really had the assimilation abilities they are supposed to have, they'd be absolutely unstoppable, whether it's in a game or on TV. Therefore there's no choice but to impose restraints on their strength and abilities. Although I could be wrong here.
Think about it: Each time you assimilate one technology, you improve your ability to assimilate others. The result is a knock-on effect that creates an exponential effect. In fact, the same thing happens today with technology, that's why computer power doubles every 18 months (even this will have to be revised soon). Even in a simple technology simulation (such as a game) this would still be true. In a very sophisticated game the Borg would be so undefeatable that it wouldn't be worth playing. :crybaby: Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: Meredith on August 02, 2007, 05:33:10 PM the Borg would be so undefeatable that it wouldn't be worth playing. :crybaby: oh but if you make it take a long time to build up that immunity than those with the best tech winns :borg: :assimilate: Title: Re: Fleet Operations 3.0 - The Collective Post by: The Old Man on August 02, 2007, 07:31:49 PM oh but if you make it take a long time to build up that immunity than those with the best tech winns :borg: :assimilate: And that would be the Borg then because they simply assimilate the best tech. :borg: That's the way it works. That's the way things go when super-races have to be defeatable... :pimp:
